InDesign PDF Manual

I tried downloading the manual from the main InDesign Info page and the link seems to be malfunctioning. Can anyone point me to a good copy of the InDesign CC64 PDF Manual?
Thank you

@Ellis – look at the source code of the web page you are getting, if you chose the link Steve has posted in answer #1.
Here what I can see from Safari:
<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html">
    <title>InDesign CC manual (PDF 20 MB)</title>
</head>
<body style="overflow-y:hidden;margin:0 4px 0 0;">
    <iframe src='http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/indesign_reference.pdf' width="100%" height="100%" />
    </body>
</html>
Don't know why the title in the head states 20 MB. The file size is about 9 MB. ;-)
I also had problems with that link and code in Firefox and Chrome on my MacBook.
Opened it in Safari. Safari stated that there are problems with my Acrobat Reader. Huh?
Then I looked at the source and took the link out of this iframe src tag.
No problem downloading that.

Do The FCS 3 PDF Manuals Have An Index In The Back?

I find that an index is generally more useful than a search field.
The old PDF manuals always had an index in the back and when I first downloaded the FCS 3 PDF manuals I thought they too had indexes, but I can't find them any more.
Was I mistaken?
Have they never had indexes in the latest versions or am I doing something wrong?

Hi Wilderness08,
Yes, you can do that indeed.
As you are already using an InDesign Book file. You can add the companion workbook InDesign file as the last file in the Book panel. This document can have its own document page numbering, making it part of your book allows you to generate either an Index or a Table of Contents that is sourced from the rest of the publication.
You'll need to make sure that for the ToC, that in the companion workbook you've not used the same 'heading' styles that you use in the rest of the publication to generate the ToC.
Define the TOC Style to your companion workbook (Layout > Table of Content Styles), and select the 'Include Book Documents'.
When you Generate Index, select the 'Include Book Documents' to include index entries from other documents.
To publish only the companion workbook, select the InDesign file inside the book panel and choose Export Selected Document to PDF.
Hope this helps,
Cari

Flash video game. How to make it playable & put onto website, and Indesign PDF file?

I am making a video game using Adobe Flash 2.0. I need to be able to show what I have through a website (my portfolio) and/or insert it into an interactive Indesign PDF file. The game needs to be able to be played and be used and tested by whoever I send the pdf file to, or whoever is would be view my the site I post it on. I have attempted many different ways to put my game onto my website (cargocollective) and Indesign, but nothing is working! I need help.
For example I need my game to be placed on the website page, and on the pdf document as an image. When it is clicked on I need it to start so people can play the game. I don't know how to do this and I would really love and need to know how! Thanks.

You are more likely to get a helpful reply if you ask this in the Flash forum (this is the Flash Player forum).

Flash should be able to publish an html page which will provide the web page code needed for embedding the swf. The page it publishes should be sufficient for planting on a server unless you plan to dress it up with other content as well.
As far as incorporating Flash content into a PDF using InDesign goes, you are best to ask questions about using InDesign in the InDesign forum. Here is a link to the Overview page whee you can pick which forum applies best to your situation:

Edit Indesign pdf in Livecycle Designer

I have a form created in Livecycle designer that I would like to add to an InDesign PDF. I also would like to make minor revisions to the InDesign document in Livecycle. Can anyone tell me how this can be done. Thanks.

Hi,
it cannot be done!
The PDF's you create with Designer and InDesign are totally different animals and not comparable against each other.
To edit an interactive PDF you created with InDesign you can either use Acrobat for minor changes or the source file (indd) and InDesign.
To edit a dynamic PDF created with Designer you have to use Designer as even Acrobat won't allow changes.

(1) My iBooks Author help resources are in a foreign language. How do I change it to English? (2) Is there an iBooks Author pdf manual I can download?

(1) My iBooks Author help resources are in a foreign language. How do I change it to English? (2) Is there an iBooks Author pdf manual I can download?

There is no PDF available. I sent a link to a page full of links and info not much different from the help files.
There are many Free books in the iBooks store which will take you through the basics of iBA.
I like "Create your first Interactive book using iBooks Author"   its created by iBook-Widgets.com - who also supply widgets at a price.. but the book is very free and very good.. search the iBooks store for their title.
You cannot use iBA on an iPad, however, I also use the iPad app -- "Book Creater"   ( redjumper.net ) its very low priced around $3 or so. The people who create it are helpful and friendly. You can distribut your books to friends and family using Dropbox or other cloud storage. If you want to creaet an ePub file and then upload to the iBooks store, its not difficult. You create the book on your iPad. It is no where near as good as iBA for functionality.. but it spossible to make really good eBooks.
I think Applecare shoud come into effect with the language problems if it can be found to be a glitch on the computer. Applecare is product based and does not apply to software.
Take it stage by stage,   visit your Apple store and   ask if they can solve the help files in langauges first, then react to the answer, it could be they can solve the issue which leave you a clear path with iBA.
Also you can gather more indormation about how to use it with the help files.
Try the info I have included and   see how it develpops... any problems get back here and we can look for alternatives.
try this... https://itunes.apple.com/app/id661166101?mt=8&&referrer=click%3Da63089e4-e3d4-49 e9-896a-58e0cfd50acf

hi all
i had this working well on one computer, my machine at work that has IE6 on it. I use the Embed tag and put in a little line about not showing the borders:
this worked beautifully first time.
not i am back on my laptop, mac [Firefox, Safari & Opera] , and my mates as well, PC laptop [Firefox and IE7], but now the HTML page i set up with the embedded pdf in it doesn't work now. oddly enough the self help page i used:
http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfdevjunkie/2007/08/using_the_html_embed_tag_to_di.html
Also doesn't show the embedded pdf which i did see earlier. very confused now. is it my machine? Firefox? all new browsers?
any further help is massively appreciated. I know this can work and have had it working...

Illustrator PDF saving as an InDesign PDF

Strange... I have CS5. Just recently, when I try to save an AI document as a PDF, it looks like everything works correctly, but the resulting icon on my desktop shows ID (pdf). When I click on it, it says InDesign can not open the document because a plugin is missing or it is open (which it is not). I can go back into Illustrator and open it, and I can open it through Acrobat, but saving again, through either of these programs still gives me a default of an InDesign PDF which in turn will not open by just clicking on it.
Any thoughts as to what may be causing this?

Indesign canot open the PDF file ,however you can place the pdf file in the Indesign which wil not be editable.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6bd7a.html
Place command is under File>place
also what is happening at your end is the issue of the file association, the default application to open the PDF set on your computer is Adobe Indesign.
once the default application will be changed to Acrobat it will work fine for you.
Please let us know the operating system to know the steps or you can google it.

InDesign PDF Exports not as small as Quark

Anybody know why inDesign PDFs are double the size of Quark's? I choose the smallest file size setting and the PDFs still come out twice the size of Quark's.
Thanks!

Without seeing the comparison files in terms of content, it's very hard to guess what's going on exactly, but there are a few considerations.
(1) Quark does not support PDF creation with ICC color profiles. Those can get rather large if you have multiple CMYK color spaces or a large number of different RGB color spaces, but those profiles are necessary. Being smaller because you are not color-managed is hardly a feature.
(2) InDesign does uses PDF language features that allow fairly intelligent handling of objects within Acrobat when using exported PDF (such as understanding that the fi ligature is really the letter f followed by i for purposes of searching, for example).
You don't mention which version of InDesign you are running, but very dramatic PDF file size improvements were made for InDesign 5 over InDesign 4 and for content with non-overriden graphics on master pages, significant PDF file size improvements for InDesign 6 over InDesign 5.

Indesign PDF convertable to .jnt file?

I have a client who wants me to convert all my Indesign PDF files to .jnt files so they can be viewed in Microsoft Journal on a tablet. I am not sure if this is possible (I don't think it is). I converted the Indesign PDF to a .JPG and .PNG file so they can maybe insert it in as picture in Microsoft Journal and then save it as a .jnt file. I don't have a tablet and I don't have Microsoft Journal. I do have Acrobat X and am wondering if maybe I can save it as an .xml 1.0 maybe?
Why would anyone want to do this anyway? These PDF files were originally created to go to a print shop to be printed and are not intended to be viewed on a tablet. Is my client essentially asking me to recreate the file on a tablet (in Microsoft journal) just so I can save it as a .jnt file? It is a complex form with check boxes, graphics, etc.
Help!

I don't think it's a feasible workflow and can't find a converter online.
Best to supply a PDF and have them view it in Acrobat Reader 9 or later.
If they can't work with that - then providing instructions for inserting in Windows Journal would be better.

Quick question re: PDF manuals

Just curious FCP users -- does the new version of FCP Studio contain PDF manuals as in previous versions?
For some reason they've stopped producing the User Manual and Plugin Manuals for Logic Pro, and I'm baffled. The help files are all html and available via Apple Help, but that's it -- not bookmark-able or friendly at all.
Thanks in advance!

Nope, definitely no PDFs.
I used Pacifist to search the installer packages, and Spotlight on an installed copy, and the only PDFs included are multiple languages of the CD-booklet-sized "Exploring Final Cut Pro 7.pdf".
Hopefully Apple at least designed book-format manuals, and will release them as PDFs in due course. I find the in-app help system to be very difficult to use, and the online version (while handy, for sure) is an equally incomplete solution.
While I applaud Apple for not wasting the paper and packaging to include a full set of printed copies, I referred to the PDFs all the time. Being able to search effectively, add bookmarks and Command-Tab between your PDF reader and the app is simply a better way to work/learn.

Looking for a non-pdf manual for S3

Does anybody know where I might be able to find a non-pdf manual for the S3 on-line? I want to print it out the manual, but the pdf is a nightmare to print and it doesnt come out the right size - without murdering a forest (204 PAGES). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can request a printed copy by mailed to you from Samsung. Check the little "Get Started" booklet that came with the phone. It will have the phone information for you to call and request one.

Mountain Lion pdf manual

I'm in immediate need of a pdf manual for Mountain Lion. My mom just got a Macbook Air for Christmas. I'm a Windows person so I'm learning as well in order to teach her.
All I can find online is the Snow Leopard manual, but that is a few years old. I know that Mountain Lion is version 10.8.xx right now, so I want to get the most up to date information.
This will be the best way for her to learn the os. She connects to the internet through the cell phone hot spot, so she has to watch her data usage. All she does is get email, look at Facebook, and play games already on the computer.
She will not take advantage of all the videos etc on the internet due to a data allowance on her cell phone plan.
Is such a manual available? Thanks.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Apple is not here. Apple does not answer questions here. You will need to contact Apple directly for a solution.

Indesign PDF optimization

Hello,
lets say that I want to make Indesign PDF, done from only one image of 50 kb, multiplied 10 times.
How can Indesign (or PDF) embed image only once instead od 10 times? So the PDF is 50kb instead of 500 kb?
Thank you very much,
Toni

Thank you, and especially thanks for the link. I will try to ask there

Well, it got way better with CS4. If you search the forum for (I think) PDF

of CS4's behavior.

Who can help me for the PDF-manual of Photoshop Elements 8.0 in English?

Some weeks ago I started using Photoshop Elements 8.0 in Dutch. But I cannot understand all technical terms in Dutch and therefore I need the PDF-manual in English. It is unpossible for me to download that from Adobe, because I bought the Dutch version.
Can anybody having the English version of Photoshop Elements 8.0 please download the PDF-manual and send it to [email protected] Thank you in advance.

Dear Barbara B.
Thank you very much. It works.
Maybe, it is interesting for you to know that before I sent this question to
the forum, I asked it officially at Adobe's Customer Help. From them I got
the answer that it is not possible to download the English manual. They
offered me the possibility to convert my Dutch Photoshop into an English one
by means of a so-called Lettre Of Destruction (LOD). That is not what I
wanted, because I liked to keep my Dutch Photoshop.
Thanks for your help once again. Now I have I Dutch ánd an English manual!
And that's what I wanted.
