Indesign 'save as' works differently to usual

Hi - When I open an indesign file in the finder then 'save as' it directs me to the last place that I saved any indesign file. Used to be it would direct me to the place I opened the file. I have recently upgraded to OS X 10.9.2.
Does anyone know if this is an indesign issue or a system software issue. I have looked in prefs of both, but am none the wiser.

On a Macintosh, there is a great utility which remembers past locations in Open and Save dialogs and is pretty essential for productivity. It's called Default Folder and is available here:

Very well designed and constantly kept up-to-date.

"save as" work differently in menue and batch

If I save in Illustrator CS4 a EPS File from the menue with "save as" and then I place the file in InDesign CS4 and adjust it proportionally to the frame it works fine.
The object is shortly to the frame.
The same file with the batch option (New Action "Save as"...) works the same but after adjust, it looks like not the object but the drawing area is fit to the Indesign frame.
Any ideas to work around, i have to convert and save more then 1000 files
Example file attached
best regards

I have another methode.
In Visual Basic, I can print the file as EPS and can control all parameters!!
It is not so elegant but it works without user interaction for a lot of files.
Maybe it is the solution for your problems too

I have been creating forms in InDesign and pulling into Acrobat XI Pro to do form fields. My client would like to fill in the PDF form using Reader, save under a different name locally on their device, and redistribute. The problem I have is that, sometimes, they want to redistribute the form as Read Only. I know how to flatten the form on a mobile device, but uncertain how they can do that with a PC or Mac using Adobe Reader. I looked at FormsCentral thinking there might be a solution going that route, but don't believe there is. Any advice?

FormsCentral won't help with flattening a form. You could set up the form in Acrobat so that the fields are set to read-only, using JavaScript. Not quite the same as flattening but it's the best Reader can do.
Note that when Reader is used to e-sign a document, it gets flattened, but this won't be possible if you need to Reader-enable the form and under certain other conditions.

Why do the "SAVE", "SAVE AS" and "UNDO" functions of InDesign CS6 stop working after a short time?

Why do the "SAVE", "SAVE AS" and "UNDO" functions of InDesign CS6 stop working after a short time?

Normally they don't. You might have some sort of problem on your system, possibly a conflict with other software, or corrupt ID prefs or application. Trashing the prefs is easy, and good place to start: Replace Your Preferences
It will help if you tell us the OS version, whther you've installed the 8.0.1 patch, and how you are trying to access the commands, and what happens when you do. Is this isolated to one file, or does it happen with all files?

Copies of Indesign books works different on MAC and PC ?

Hello everyone,
i try to follow many discussion about how to create a clean copy of an Indesign book indb (with different chapters which are individual indesign files) with no link to the old one.
I found many tricks like changing the name of the original folder or packaging the book for print, but i'm not really satisfy by this way.
The first way forced me to change the name of the original file each time i want to make a clean copy and the second way will not keep the structure of my folder and subfolders which are not included in the package.
It seems the real concern is more about how Indesign is able to manage absolute and relative path, and i also found some people asking Indesign only works with absolute path.
But, after many trials on Mac and PC, i was so surprised to check that on my MAC, thinks are working very well, when i make a copy of the original book folder exactly in the same location, the copy is not linked to the original file (that's what i want) !!!
But on PC it doesn't, the copy of the book is still linked to the original files.
Can someone tell me the difference between MAC and PC ?
Is it an option in Indesign to change that ? or is it related to th OS file system ?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Peter,
I opened the two books in indesign to compare the paths of the files in the books.
I just simply move the mouse over the indesign file in the book panel to check the path that appears in the yellow tooltip.
For example :
for the original BOOK_TECH.indb, the path of the file Trims.indd in the DOC_TECH folder is : /Users/UserName/Documents/DOC_TECH/MAIN_FILES/Trims.indd
for the copy BOOK_TECH.indb, the path of the file Trims.indd in the DOC_TECH2 folder is : /Users/UserName/Documents/DOC_TECH2/MAIN_FILES/Trims.indd
Another way to be sure of what i'm saying here is to open the file trims.indd in the original book and the same file in the copy. You will get 2 different files opened in Indesign with the same name of course.
I also try with a Mac book pro running MAC OS X 10.6.5, but it doesn't work (you will get the link to the original one). It seems to work or not, depending the OS
i'm curious to know why it is working on MacOS x 10.9 and not 10.6 and windows. Maybe there is a way to fix it with the OS settings ?
If you have the right answer, just let me know, because it could help a lot of people.
Thanks a lot.

A year ago I paid to update my Pages. If I click on the doc on the desktop the old Pages opens up and I can't save my work. Help!

A year ago I paid to update Pages to 4.1. If I click on a Pages doc on the desktop the old Pages opens up and I can't save my work and so I lose what I do. So for a year I have been remembering to open Pages using the icon on the bottom of the desktop and all is OK. But when my work is being reviewed and resent to me, then I have problems with opening that file and saving those changes. So I have been coping and pasting the resent work to me and putting it into a new doc.
So today wanting to fix this annoying problem and reading something on this forum I went into applications and moved a Pages something that was in Applications into the iwork 09 file. A pop up box asked if I wanted to replace the old Pages with the newer version and I clicked Yes.
Now I can't open up any of my Pages work on the desktop.
I have not shut down my laptop and restarted - would this solve the problem?
I am not going to panic - just yet ... but can anybody help!!

Adobe InDesign CS4 Stops Working - Windows 7 Ultimate

I have a new computer with 8g of Ram running Windows 7 Ultimate, with an Intel i7 860 2.8 and everything has been working fine until an hour ago and now everytime I open InDesign and start working on a file, I get the error message that Windows has to close InDesign that it is not working properly.
I went ahead and made sure I had the latest updates, I removed the Preference file, rebooted and I am still having this same problem.
I also get a message when I start InDesign and Illustrator that I have to restart FMCore.exe has been stopped. Please start it form the Windows Control Panel for Universal Type Client and then relaunch Adobe InDesign CS4. I click OK and InDesign opens. I cannot find anywhere to start the FMCore.exe. I think it applies to a Mac computer.
Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. I may trying reinstalling InDesign CS4 but I am not sure if I should do so.
All the best,
Aleda Downs

Hi Peter:
I think the crash may be related to this file. When I opened another file and moved around InDesign acted fine. It appears that is crashes with this one file that I have been working on all day.
Any suggestions before I do a system restore, as to how to repair a file? The file keeps opening, but when I try to access a menu item or navigate to a different page, that is when I get the error. On the other file, I did everything and not a problem. I think it might be this file.
Any thoughts?
All the best,
Aleda

Why can't I save my work as a document?

The first thing I did when I downloaded Pages was create a default template with Times New Roman. Now when I try to save my work, it seems to automatically want to save it as a template. There is no option to save as a document and I can't choose to save it under a different extension type. I still have my original window open and anything I add in there saves as a document, but any new document I create won't save as one. I changed my default template back to "blank" and it didn't do anything.

Since the Maverick update I am unable to save any work that I do in CS6 software programmes on my mac

With the new update I am unable to save my work that I have done when using the CS6 software, this is a real problem as I need to be able to save any changes I do. I also can't search files on my USB when I go to file-open while in Photoshop, Illustrator or Indesign. Please help as this is a real issue and has only been happening since the new Maverick update.
Thanks, Julia.

Being that Adobe stopped supporting CS6 a while ago, that is likely not going to happen. They're trying to force everyone to use CC, which I heard is having troubles since Marvericks as well. At least they will get a free Adobe update.
This is incorrect information. Adobe has issued updates for several CS6 products since CC came out, consistent with their official statements that they will continue to support CS6, which they still sell new (though the links are hard to find on their store).
Photoshop released a 13.0.6 update for CS6 on Nov. 7, it would be a good idea to make sure you have gotten the latest version even though a save problem is not mentioned in the release notes. Maybe it'll help anyway.

Edge Animate - Exception An error occurred. Please save your work and restart Edge Animate

I get this error every time I try to open the project I have been working on for days - I've attempted to create a new project and swap out the different pieces/parts from the previous project folder but it still causes the same exception error. I have also uninstalled/reinstalled Edge Animate CC twice, and cleared my preferences. Neither has resolved the issue.

Hello,
I had exactly the same problem and in my case I could not resolve it. It appears that somehow the file with contains the editable code gets corrupted leaving only the rendered content which cannot be reverse engineered.
I had to start all over again.
It has left a bad taste in my mouth. I do not think that the software is robust enough for professional use yet. I feel very insecure when I am working with it. Constantly expecting it to crash. I now save to two different folders but only compile in one. This helps to avoid the problem in the future.
Sorry.

Please provide some relevant information.
Are all operations and rools inoperable?
Do you get some error message?

Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

User Exit Program works Differently

I'm trying to sync user info from HCM system to a destination system. There is a limitation in SAP HCM system, which allows only full load and not incrememental load or sync up based on events(New Joinee, Position change, Employee Exit) to happen from source to destination. So, I thought User exit could fix this issue.
When a person inserts or changes or changes the status of an employee to quit through PA30 and saves it, the user exit program should pass the personnel number (numbers) of the user(s) as input to the report RPLDAP_EXTRACT_IDM.
I am trying to trigger a report(RPLDAP_EXTRACT_IDM) which exports the data from HCM to a destination system(IDM) with the help of a user exit program. Using PA30 when I change the user info and when I save it, through User exit program I'm passing the personnel number of the user(whose data has been changed) as an input to the report, which inturn will replicate the change to the destination.
Problem:
User Exit works differently here. After configuring User exit for this tcode(PA30), once I change a user's info and click save, without saving the data, it triggers the User exit program. Usaully while chanign user info, when I click 'SAVE', i get a message 'Recod changed', but now after sonfiguring User Exit program, since the program runs immediately as soon as i click SAVE, I see the following message' Successfully exported Data to the destination' . And the change that i make is not reflected.
Shouldn't the User Exit program be triggerred after the data is saved?
Is there a way where I can trigger the User Exit Program after saving the record.

Not an ABAP expert, but I remember hearing something about PAI and PBO modules and separate user exit includes depending on where you are executing it. Is it worth investigating on these lines?
Also is it worthwhile configuring Change Pointers to capture whether a change has been made instead of coding user exits in PA30. You could code uxerexits in the ALE data transfer program to analyse the data based on change pointers and transfer data pertaining to New Joinees etc.
Again I am not ALE epxert, I am just giving my views For what they are worth. For better results perhaps you should post in ABAP forum.

Can not load help information, so I can not save my work?

I have been working on this vi for about an hour.
When I try to save I ge an error that says "Can not load help information of find_resources.vi"
So it will not let me save it.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi James,
That error is usually indicative that the VI is unfortunately corrupt. I'm sorry that you had to spend some time rewriting your code. I wanted to provide some information that I found in case you ran into anything like this again in the future.
If "Select All" then copying to a VI does not work, that is usually a good sign that the VI is corrupt. At that point, there is not much you can do except possibly look at the recovery VIs that LabVIEW saves. If the VI is there, you can try moving it out of the recovery directory and opening it. The location for the autosave directory varies depending on how your system is set up, but it is typically located in your Documents folder > LabVIEW Data > LVAutoSave. For more information on how LabVIEW autosave works, take a look at this KnowledgeBase article.

How can i save my work pdf files and personal pdf files separately in my ipadmini

Hi,
I would like some help on separating my personal and work pdf files in my ipad. Currently i saved everything in ibook but find it unprofessional when i have to show my clients my work
Is there any other way to save my work pdf files separately?
trena.c

If you still would like to use Ibooks you can add Collections. i.e.. work pdf's
View your collections, add a new one.
Now go to the pdf's you want to add to that collection and move them to the new collection you have just created.
Hope this helps.
