Indesign Server CS6 on OSX slowed down

I have CS6 installation on Mac Pro 4,1 quad core with 16GB of ram with OSX 10.9.
Only four instances are working now, and there are no other processes except one CS4 on this machine.
After few months server have problem with speed, sometimes server is working very slow. Changing content in one text frame, changing style takes more than one minute. Content is short, few characters and documents have less than 100 text frames.
This same operation normally takes few ms.
CS4 instance on this machine works fine.
Regards
Piotr

Try running the combo update.

  • InDesign Server CS6 (MacOS) - JavaScripting & Troubleshooting "Bus error" or "Segmentation fault"

    I'm attempting to convert a workflow from InDesign CS5.5 Desktop with AppleScript to InDesign Server CS6 with JavaScript. It seems most of our templates work fine but every now and then I run into one that seems to work properly but right after we export to PDF and JPG which is the final step in the script I get either a Bus error or a Segmentation fault error. The files do export and the console sits idle for a few seconds then I get the crash. It doesn't seem to give me anything else and I can't find a crash dump or core file anywhere on disk to examine.
    The exact same input files on InDesign CS5.5 Desktop completing a very similar automation task via AppleScript work without an issue or error. I'm not certain if it's a problem with the way the InDesign files were put together, a version problem between a CS5.5 file and CS6, or something that I'm doing wrong in the script.
    Is there a way to get InDesign Server to go into debug or verbose mode so that it will show more than just two word errors on crash?  I've read a few people talking here about the debug version but every path I've found to get access to the debug version runs into a roadblock with a bad link.
    I would appreciate a point in the current right direction for how to debug these templates this script.

    Re: verbose mode. These are not InDesign error messages. They are system errors, saying that an app (InDesign?) crashed, went away, hence could not issue any kind of message. Crash logs are the place to start. If they don't help, and the crash is outside your code, after that it's over to the maintainer (Adobe?)
    Worth sharing a suitable crash log, as the list of routines active at the crash can narrow down issues.

  • Comment activer la licence de démonstration sur InDesign Server CS6 ?

    Bonjour,
    Au démarrage d'InDesign Server CS6 sous MacOSX, j'obtiens l'erreur :
    ERREUR [serveur] Adobe InDesign Server a détecté une anomalie de licence et va s'arrêter.
    Après quelques recherches, j'ai créé un pack d'installation Trial avec Application Manager Entreprise.
    Le problème reste le même avec cette installation.
    Une solution à me proposer ?

    Et oui c'est ce que j'ai fini par trouver
    InDesign Server Trial not Licensing
    Et évidemment, il faut remplacer Win par Mac sur un OS Mac
    Merci de ton intérêt et de ta réponse

  • Indesign CC CS6 is really slow today. Updates have been done. Do you have a solution?

    Indesign CC CS6 is really slow today. Updates have been done. Do you have a solution?

    Adobe has absolutely acknowledged issues for some users with CC and there are well over 700,000 paid CC subscribers. I suggest you check your facts before posting complete nonsense.
    Where has this been acknowledged? If so it is still not fixed.
    CS6 sold 14.5 million copies. An advertisement email from Adobe stating: "Join the over 650,000 creative professionals who’ve already made the switch to Creative Cloud* and get everything you need to create, collaborate, and publish all in one place. And with a Creative Cloud membership, you’ll always have the most advanced design features the minute they become available. At the Q2 earnings Adobe stated 770,000 subscribers. Why do the state 120,000 less? Did 120,000 early adopters not continue the subscription?"
    That may be more that a few but hardly worth risking having access to the latest new bugs the minute they become available.

  • Does installing Desktop Experience on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 slow down the server / increase processor usage?

    Hello.
    I'm running a tekkit classic (Minecraft) Server on a dedicated server I got from OVH, Im just wondering - Im currently using ClamAV for an antivirus, But I would like windows defender.
    Im wondering if installing Desktop Experience on my dedi would increase processor usage or slow down the dedi even slightly.
    System Specs:
    RAM: 32GB DDR3 ECC 1600MHz
    CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1245v2
    HDD: 2x2TB SATA (Both used, specified as different drives)
    OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
    Theres only 1 indev tekkit server currently running on there, Im getting 0-5% processor usage. I may be setting up more modpack servers  - but im wondering if installing desktop experience would increase the processor usage or slow the dedi down.
    Thanks.

  • Indesign Server Licensing

    I am looking into purchasing a 3rd party product for doing dynamic date publishing using Indesign. The vendor is telling me in order to be complaint with Adobe I need to purchase an Indesign Server license even though the 3rd party application doesnt need it. It will basically sit on the shelf and collect dust. The vendor isnt even looking for us to purchase Indesign Server through, so its not like they are making any money.
    Just doesnt make sense on why I would need to purchase it. I have tried calling Adobe sales reps numerous times and either no one knows the answer or I never get called back from the people who are supposed to know the answer.
    I figured this was the best board to post this on, not sure if it would be better somewhere else.
    Does anyone have any insight into this? Any response is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I had trouble - the instructions send you down some confusing paths - but I got it working eventually. The "Installation Instructions.pdf" file indicates you need to activate the trial with Adobe Provisioning Toolkit Enterprise Edition (APTEE), but sends you to a link that says nothing about APTEE. It turns out you can find APTEE in a download called Adobe Application Manager Enterprise (AAME), which doesn't say much about APTEE, but does install APTEE in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\Enterprise\utilities\APTEE\CS6". You don't actually need to create a distribution package of the product installer with the UI of the installed AAME software as you might be led to believe; in the folder above is a command line tool, for which the "indesign-server-cs6-release-notes.pdf" file provides incorrect command line information regarding how to activate the 90 day trial (spurious spaces at line breaks and in command line options that are supposed to be "--" not "- -"). The actual correct command line I used successfully to activate the trial was "adobe_prtk --tool=StartTrial --leid=InDesignServer-CS6-Win-GM" .
    It really shouldn't have taken that much figuring out (especially since the InDesign Server CS6 installer itself has a UI which suggests you can just choose an option for trial mode). You can only get on the right track by reading and then ignoring the instructions, and searching around for the right download on the Adobe site.

  • Is it possible to leverage InDesign Server templates in a custom web app?

    Hi there,
    I am building a custom web app and was hoping to leverage our existing InDesign Server templates within our web app. What I would like to do, is based on user input, show my template with the user's input in the browser. I have looked through the API guides for InDesign Server CS6, but I haven't been able to conclusively find anything that will allow me to use the APIs to call the server, send the data points the template requires, and then get an image back from the server.
    I believe this is possible, I am just not sure how to achieve it! Any ideas or articles that help push me in the right direction would be extremely helpful!
    Thank you!
    Marshall

    Yes it's completely possible. There are two parts to making something like this work:
    1. The scripts themselves. You can generally script InDesign Server and desktop InDesign exactly the way using ExtendScript. So that's the part of the process where your script receives variables and passes them into the template and replaces something you've identified as variable, whether text or an image or something else (perhaps a color theme, etc.). You should get your scripts running on desktop before playing around with server.
    2. The messaging between your web app and the server. Whatever language you are using (i.e. PHP, .Net, Java, Ruby…) there is a way to make a SOAP call to InDesign Server to tell it basically "run this script with these parameters". You should get the "hello world" script running from a SOAP call on the server before using your real variable-driven document.
    The documentation of these things is available here:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/sdk.html
    You need to download the InDesign Server SDK (don't worry if you're on CC and it says CS6, almost nothing changed) and the InDesign Scripting SDK. The Server SDK deals with part #2 above, the Scripting SDK with part #1.
    It really isn't that hard. I should warn you, though, that it is addictive and once you do your first one you will become all-powerful and want to do nothing else. :-)
    Good luck and don't hesitate to ask questions.

  • InDesign server crashes every time when calling deleteEmptyPages in script

    We are evaluting InDesign Server CS6 on a Windows server environment. We have an idml file, sample xml file that is tagged to specific frames inside the idml file and a script file for execution on the server. This script opens the idml file using the app.open api, imports the xml file and export the ID file to a PDF. Because we have table content with variable row count, we are using the smart text reflow functionality. Setting the text preferences with smart text reflow appears to be working but we also want to delete the empty second page when the content is less than a page. So, we also tried using the deleteEmptyPages property document's textPreferences. When this is set to true and the script is executed on the ID server using the sampleclient, the server crashes with the following message. When I do the same thing in the InDesign UI using the preferences options, it works as expected.
    The script looks like below - is this the right way to do it?
    var myInddFile = app.scriptArgs.get("idfile"); //"X:/IDFiles/AutoFlow.indd";
    var myXmlFile = app.scriptArgs.get("xmlfile"); //"X:/IDFiles/deleteme.xml";
    var myOutputOptions = "[Smallest File Size]";
    var myPDFPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName(myOutputOptions);
    var myDoc = app.open (File(myInddFile), OpenOptions.OPEN_COPY);
    myDoc.xmlImportPreferences.ignoreWhitespace = true;
    myDoc.textPreferences.smartTextReflow = true;
    //myDoc.textPreferences.addPages = AddPageOptions.END_OF_STORY;
    //myDoc.textPreferences.limitToMasterTextFrames = true;
    myDoc.importXML (File(myXmlFile));
    //uncommenting this line causes the ID server to crash
    //myDoc.textPreferences.deleteEmptyPages = true;
    var myOutputFile = app.scriptArgs.get("outputfile");//File("X:/IDFiles/sampleX.pdf")
    myDoc.exportFile (ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE,myOutputFile, myPDFPreset)

    Thanks Harbs. We are looking at full automation and so removing the pages manually is not an option. But I did find a script at InTools http://in-tools.com/article/scripts-blog/script-of-the-day-jan-24-2010/ that helps with automating the removal of empty pages. This script appears to be a nice workaround for server side usage. I used it on my document with multiple column text frames and it is removing the empty page as expected. If there is a better way to do this, let me know. Thanks.

  • Indesign Server and the SDK

    I wanted to know whether the SDK is a part of Indesign Server CS6 so as to use it in coldfusion? Or the SDK comes with additional cost?

  • In design server CS6 license

    Hi we are looking at Indesign Server CS6 and the 2 license - Premium and limited - at http://www.adobe.com/mena_en/products/indesignserver/buying-guide.displayTab3.html
    Question 1)
    We have to make a interface for a real-estate agent who has to make some PDF´s for newsletters (web to print)
    but can we use the limited license so that the real estate agent can use his browser to make web to print ?
    - or is it only the premium license who in wich we can make a browser based interface ?
    As i read it on the Adobe website its only the premium license who we can use to make a browser based interface
    - the limited license is only fore a closed network - and therfore not fore an internet based interface?
    Question 2)
    Is ther any Adobe partner who you know of that has made a browser based interface fore a Real estate agent to make web to print whit a Indesign server ?

    I can't help with licensing questions, but check out www.printui.com
    they've basically done what you're asking for.

  • InDesign Server CC

    We are looking at developing a Windows Service application using the InDesign SDK.  With the current version of InDesign CC, we cannot do this because the application must be running in UI mode after a user has logged into Windows.  InDesign Server would meet our requirements (user does not need to log in to Windows to run the application), but it is only available in CS6.  From what we understand, we cannot mix InDesign CC and InDesign Server CS6 as the INDD file saved with CC cannot be opened with CS6.  Is there going to be a CC version of InDesign Server?
    We will also be looking at creating another Windows Service application that interacts with PhotoShop.  Do you know if PhotoShop has the same restrictions as InDesign in terms of needing to log on to Windows to use the application through the SDK?
    Thanks,
    Jody

  • InDesign Server 5.5 Missing Links

    I'm getting missing link errors in the log when InDesign Server opens files. The missing links reported are for xml files and snippets. Opening the document and looking in the links pallette shows no missing links. I tried using AppleScript to see if I could access these links but they are not there. I can find the links if I open the document in a text editor so I know they are actually there but I cannot seem to find a way to get rid of them. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.
    Has any one else seen this problem?
    Is there some way to "clean" the file? ( I already tried doing a save as on the files. )

    I encounter the same problem with InDesign Server CS6: I get warning messages about missing snippets. This does not prevent to generate PDF's successfully (with madeToPrint server), but I would like to understand…
    Any idea?

  • InDesign Server CC2014 Trial issue

    Hi,
    I cannot start our InDesign Server CC 2014 (Windows Server 2008). I have installed the software and was logged with our Adobe ID and installation was successful without any error message. The installation manual states that “InDesign CC Server needs to be activated before it can be used. If the computer is online, activation is done automatically when you install.” However, I got an error message when I tried to launch InDesign Server: “Adobe InDesign Server is not properly licensed and will now quit”.
    Since  I had previously installed InDesign Server CS6 on another machine, I tried to use the APTEE to start the trial. I used the CS6 one because I did not find any version for CC 2014, I finally got the message:
    StartTrial Successful
    Return Code = 0
    but when I tried to launch again InDesign Server, I always get the Adobe InDesign Server is not properly licensed and will now quit message.
    I also read this thread but did not find the solution Indesign Server CC Trial issues
    Thanks for help!
