Indesign is 64 bit or 32 bit?

I have win 7 64 bit edition. But indesign files are present in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\...does that mean that Indesign is a 32 bit application?

Peter, I thought I already made that clear. My files are very large. I've been working on the Kingdom Bible project since 2000-2001, which is a project whose aim is to uncover the true format of the Bible, and I've been using ID since 2001. You can find my website at www.phibible.org.
So I have a total of six large files, the smallest of which is about 45 mb on up to around 140 mb. Sometimes, I like to load all six files into ID along with the "Book" file, so that all of the pages can be renumbered due to the fact that I've added pages. And even if I only load the Book file and do the renumbering, the process can be time-consuming either way.
Also, when I add a line to the text inside a story, the story might be as long as 20 or 30 pages, contained in a 8.5 x 14 legal-size page format. With all of the inline text boxes and special characters (I insert Ultra-black superscript characters (A,B,C,D.....Z, AA, AB,AC,...BA, BB,BC,...) into the text to mark the original verse markers (the old chapter and verse locations are located in special text boxes on the side of the page referenced by these characters)), ID does a lot of straining during the reflow process, and CS4 at least sometimes makes me wait too much.
Would a 64-bit engine make these processes instantaneous? Of course not, but I believe it would be more efficient. I get very impatient when I have to sit and waste time waiting for the software to do its job. Anything that can move the process along will be helpful. My experience with the 32-bit Cyberlink video processing program vs the 64-bit version has convinced me that all major software programs like ID and Cyberlink need to move to 64 bit asap. 32 bit software is fine for small programs, but it just doesn't have the ability to access memory and work quickly like native 64 bit programs.
Looking at your comment from another angle: haven't we heard this before? I remember during the late 90s that people said much the same thing about 16 bit, then 32-bit software: "it's good enough", "Why do we need 64 bit?" and etc. My response is that Adobe needs to get moving and start providing leading-edge software with the fastest possible speeds, and stop trying to make their customers fit into their "box". Give people products that they want to buy, and Adobe will prosper. Give people products that Adobe "thinks" people want, and Adobe just might lose customers to their competitors, who are only too happy to take Adobe's market share. I hope that helps.
And btw, I apologize for the rudeness of my first post. It was uncalled for.

  • 8 bit vs 16 bit

    I started creating photo books, and I've been running into some confusing territory. So far my procedure has been to edit RAW photos in Lightroom, then export 16 bit PSDs to InDesign. I layout the whole book in Indesign. Then I have to make PDFs of the book and convert everything to JPGs.
    My confusion centers around 8 bit vs 16 bit. If I am converting to final JPGS, should I export as 8 bit right out of Lightroom? Or is it better to stay away from 8 bit as long as possible?

    Nice suggestion, but it will generate BIG files though of you use Smart Objects.
    For 99% of most publishing needs you won't need 16 bit files. certainly not if you are placing them directly into Indesign, and then exporting them anyway as 8 bit jpegs for print.
    16 bit files are for EDITING. They are useful for many color corrections back and forth, for pushing and pulling with 10 retouchers all arsing with the file, to avoid DAMAGE and posterisation. For most printing needs you have to do A LOT of damage to an 8 bit file before that damage registers on the print. Like the ******** I worked with for 3 years who would pile 50 adjustment layers on top of an 8 bit image and wonder why the resulting injet looked like a rainbow - thats what you would be trying to avoid.

  • 64 bits or 32 bits

    Good evening
    On my desktop I have the two 64-bit versions and 32 bit Adobe Indesign, Photoshop, Illustrator.
    Could you tell me the advantages and disadvantages between these two versions.
    Thanking you
    Ulysses

    To give you the 10,000 ft view of the advantages and disadvantages of the 32-bit versus the 64-bit versions of these products …
    The real difference between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of these products is the ability to use much larger address spaces with the 64-bit version. Generally speaking, for most documents and images, you will absolutely not see any performance advantage with the 64-bit versions of the applications (and in fact, there could be a very minor but measurable performance degradation with 64-bit). The advantage of the 64-bit versions is that they can directly access orders of magnitude larger virtual memory space. Typical 32-bit applications can only access a 2 GB virtual memory space, regardless of how much physical memory you have installed on your computer. This may sound quite ample, but when you are dealing with very long and/or very graphically-rich InDesign documents, for example, that 2GB memory is chopped up into temporary document storage, screen buffers, placed imagery temporary storage, and work spaces for a myriad of internal functions including layout, color management, content placement, PDF (and DPS and other format) export, printing, etc. Prior to InDesign 9, it was not uncommon to need to regularly exit InDesign and restart the program to reclaim these workspaces to avoid out of memory messages – these were not messages about being out of physical memory, but rather virtual memory. With the new 64-bit version of InDesign, these issues are of the past. Illustrator documents may be complex, but with rare exception contain only one artboard and typically don't have the same virtual memory issues. On the other hand, if you are a user that runs Photoshop with large number of layered, large, high resolution images open, the additional address space of the 64-bit version may be necessary for you as well.
    Disadvantages of 64-bit are relatively few. If you use plug-ins for which there are not yet or might never be 64-bit versions, you might be stuck using the 32-bit versions for the time being. An example of this under Windows would be availability of a TWAIN scanner plug-in for Photoshop 64-bit – it doesn't exist.
    All this being said, unless you have plug-in compatiblity issues, the 64-bit versions of Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign are mature and very stable and thus recommended. (Personally, I've hidden the Windows Start Menu items for both 32-bit Illustrator and 32-bit InDesign and have suffered no problems.)
    Be aware that going forward, the 32-bit versions of these applications will eventually be dropped.

  • Creation of Add-on package for 64 bit and 32 bit SAP Business One Client

    Please help me creating package for 64 bit and 32 bit SAP Business One. If Add-on executable is compiled with x86 option then there is no issue of connecting Add-on with 32 bit SAP Business one and if Add-on executable is compiled with Any CPU option then there is no issue of connecting Add-on with 64 bit SAP Business one. Problems are mentioned as below
    1. My Add-on uses MS ACCESS connection and the connection is read using Jet OLEDB 4.0 provider. It works fine for x86 compile mode but not when compile mode is Any CPU. I searched for the issue on Google and found a solution to change MS ACCESS connection provider to ACE.OLEDB.12.0 but again ACE provider is installed according to the Office version i.e. 32 bit or 64 bit office suite. If I install 32 bit ACE provider then Add-on executable compiled with x86 version is working fine but with Any CPU option throws error as provider is not registered on current machine.
    2. Secodly, our license validation activex dll is build using vb 6.0 and therefore when Add-on executable is compiled using Any CPU option, Add-on EXE cannot read from license dll. Any suggestion, how the activeX dll can be compiled whose component can be created from for X86 compiled exe and any cpu compiled exe.
    Please help because we are stuck in this issue and cannot move forward.
    Thanks.

    Hi Alejandro,
    That is one solution but did your add on used ms access connection? if you used Jet oledb to connection string or ace oledb connection string? what if 32 bit office is installed and what if 64 office is installed? how did you found the office version in install script? after determining the office version how did you installed Microsoft redistributable for ace oledb (32 bit or 64 bi )?
    I am sorry that I asked many questions but these are the problems where I am stuck with the addon installer?
    Thanks

  • What is difference between 32 bit and 64 bit sql server memory management

    What is difference between 32 bit and 64 bit sql server memory management
    Thanks
    Shashikala

    This is the basic difference...check if helps:
    A 32-bit CPU running 32-bit software (also known as the x86 platform) is so named because it is based on an architecture that can manipulate values that are up to 32 bits in length. This means that a 32-bit memory pointer can store a value between 0 and
    4,294,967,295 to reference a memory address. This equates to a maximum addressable space of 4GB on 32-bit platforms
    On the other hand 64-bit limit of 18,446,744,073,709,551,616, this number is so large that in memory/storage terminology it equates to 16 exabytes. You don’t come across that term very often, so to help understand the scale, here is the value converted to
    more commonly used measurements: 16 exabytes = 16,777,216 petabytes (16 million PB)➤ 17,179,869,184 terabytes (17 billion TB)➤ 17,592,186,044,416 gigabytes (17 trillion GB)➤
    As you can see, it is significantly larger than the 4GB virtual address space usable in 32-bit systems; it’s so large in fact that any hardware capable of using it all is sadly restricted to the realm of science fiction. Because of this, processor manufacturers
    decided to only implement a 44-bit address bus, which provides a virtual address space on 64-bit systems of 16TB. This was regarded as being more than enough address space for the foreseeable future and logically it’s split into an 8TB range for user mode
    and 8TB for kernel mode. Each 64-bit process running on an x64 platform will be able to address up to 8TB of VAS.

  • How to use SET BIT and GET BIT in ABAP Programming

    Hi,
    Our team is currently working for an Upgrade  project which is using a tool automatically upgrades when we supplly the code. fine, But now the requirement is , we need to write different test cases for the available key words in ABAP. Now we r looking for the usage of  " BIT ", keyword. so , kindly provide any program or code using this key word.
    Please find the description Provided and give some relative ABAP code to satisfy the given description.
    The data object byte_string must be byte-type. The statement reads the bit at the bit position BITPOS of the variable byte_string and assigns its value to the variable val. A default mode can be specified if required *
    Thanks & Regards,

    What on earth are you testing? That ABAP still works? I think SAP might have run that through rigourous testing themselves.
    If you want sample code, why not read the ABAP help, and work some out for yourself?

  • Office Standard 2013 Key Management Service host 32-bit or 64-bit version ?

    Hello,
    I have a 2012 DomainController serving as our KMS host.
    I need to activate 2013 Lync 32-bit clients so I will have to install the office 2013 KMS host.
    The KMS host download is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit.
    Should I download the 64-bit version because the 2012 OS is 64 bit or will I download the 32-bit host since the Office version we use is 32-bit?
    BR
    Sverre Amundsen

    Hi,
    Based on my understanding, I suppose that you want to activate 32-bit version of Lync 2013. Is it right?
    If so, you can only install 32-bit version of Office 2013 on your PC. The 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Office programs don’t get along, so you can only have one type installed at a time. If you mix 32-bit and 64-bit version installed
    on the same PC, you might see some errors.
    Reference about why can’t I install both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Office 2013:

  • Is there a way to determine if an application is 32-bit or 64-bit?

    Is there a way to determine if an application is 32-bit or 64-bit? To be more specific, I want to be able to determine if a 32-bit application is being emulated under WOW64. I'm trying to use the Call Library Function and selecting IsWOW64Process from the Kernel32.dll, but I can't seem to get it to work. I think I may be setting it up wrong. I'm using a constructor node and invoke node for Process and after calling GetProcesses in the invoke node I'm sending that into a For Loop to inspect each process seperately. Inside the For Loop is where I'm trying to use the Call Library Function. From what I've read IsWOW64Process has a Handle as an input and a pointer to a boolean as an output. I may be incorrect in this as I've seen multiple varieties of this call on the internet. I've tried setting this up but I can't seem to get it to work. I'm looking for help on how to correctly use the Call Library Function or if anyone knows a better way to do this I'm open to suggestions. Thank you for any help.

  • OWB 10g Release 2 from 32 bit to 64 bit on Linux

    Hi guys,
    I have a client who is planning to migrate their Linux server from 32 bit to 64 bit and migrate their Oracle database from 10.2.0.3 from 32 bit server to 10.2.0.3 from 64 bit server.
    We have OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) installed in the 32 bit server.
    Our DBA is planning to move the entire database to the new server including the OWB repositories.
    My question is,
    Will the following work?
    1. Install the OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3 or 10.2.0.4) 64 bit in the new 64 bit Linux 64 bit server
    2. Remove all the OWB repository user schemas & roles from the database where OWB is installed
    3. Install the OWB repository in the new 64 bit server
    4. Import the .mdl backup of the project from existing OWB 32 bit to the new OWB 64 bit server
    5. Configure the project with the new server
    OR
    Since our DBA is planning to move the entire database to the new server including the OWB repositories
    1. Install the OWB 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) 64 bit in the new 64 bit Linux 64 bit server
    Will I be able to access my repository that is migrated from the 32 bit server (avoiding the installation of OWB repository and importing the project and configuring the whole project in the new server) ?
    Please someone shed some light on this. Your help is appreciated
    Thanks in advance....

    Does this mean, ... we have to install the OWB 64 bit and install a new repository in the 64 bit server?In my opinion you don't need to create new repository.
    After migrating database to 64bit perform steps from Metalink note 434272.1 "How To Update Warehouse Builder 10.2 After A Database Cloning".
    It is better to save the same path for new OWB 64bit software. If you install OWB into different path you need to update OWBRTPS table with new path to OWB software (look at metalink note 550271.1).

  • ITunes 64-bit runs 32-bit, Secure link to iTunes Store failed, and SyncMapiInterfaceHelper_x64 crashes every time I click 'Info' tab in an iDevice.

    Hello everyone,
    There are 3 issues I have, as it reads in the title.
    1) I am running iTunes on a Win7 64-bit ThinkPad, and iTunes shows up as a 32-bit application in the Task Manager, always. I tried even the complete uninstalling (after removing Bonjour, Apple Mobile Service, deleting the folders, etc.) and yet, it shows up the same way.
    2) When I run diagnostics, it says 'Secure link to iTunes Store failed'. I've tried many things from whatever I've read in the forums and nothing seems to be changing that.
    3) Every time I click the 'Info' tab on any iDevice (I tried it with a 3GS and a iPod Touch), I get a 'SyncMapiInterfaceHelper_x64 has stopped working' message thrice. I don't know the significance of thrice but it just does come.
    I hope someone helps.
    Thanks!

    That one's normal. On 64-bit systems, iTunes is a mix of 32-bit and 64-bit componentry. The itunes.exe is 32-bit.
    Oh, okay. Thanks!
    Could you walk us through what happens when you try to connect to the Store, please?
    The issue is when I run diagnostics. I happened to run it last night while updating my 3GS to iOS 6, and there was a 3194, and a search to solve that, led me to running the diagnostic.
    I was wondering how it affects me because I haven't faced any issue in downloading or browsing the AppStore. The transcript of the 'Run diagnostics', for networks is as below:

  • How to find out if I am using a 32 bits or 64 bits version of JRE?

    How to find out if I am using a 32 bits or 64 bits version of JRE?
    If I have 2 instances of Java installed in 2 seperate directories, one 32 bits and other 64 bits on Linux. How do I identify which directory holds which version?

    With a Sun JDK or JRE, you can use java -version:
    $ java -version
    java version "1.6.0"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode)
    ... switch to the 64-bit JDK ...
    $ java -version
    java version "1.6.0"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode)
    The last line says "64-Bit."
