Indesign server not recognising fonts.

Hi Experts,
We are generating pdf by running Indesign client plugin on indesign server.
We are able to generate the pdf but correct font is not recognised.
We have placed font in
c:\programe files\adobe\indesign cs5 server\fonts\avery.lnk
the avery.lnk pointing to one of our shared folder placed on other IP adress machine.
whereas if we place font files directly to
"c:\program files\adobe\indesign cs5 server\fonts" fonts are recognised, but not from avery.lnk.
We checked that avery.lnk is correctly pointing to our repository where we have kept out fonts.
I will be highly thankful for any reply.
Thanks& Regards
sameer

Are you sure you haven't converted everything to outlines?
Not sure what else you could try apart from the standard trashing your prefs or cleaning by exporting but if those don't work post this question on the Indesign forum, you'll get far more people answering there.

InDesign Server configuration and fonts

When you start multiple instances of InDesign Servers you specify the different configuration names.
Is it possible that 2 instances of InDesign Servers running on the same server with different configuration names have different fonts installed?
I.e. can I install some fonts of configuration level, not for the entire server?

There is no document titled "InDesign Server Installation and Configuration Guide". This was an error in the CS2 version of Introduction to InDesign Server.
You'll find the CS2 version of Introduction to InDesign Server in the InDesign Server CS2 ESD (the server download bundle). Even better you'll find the CS3 version in the InDesign CS3 Server SDK. Available at the following URL:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/
The information about Java/CORBA is specific to CS3, but the information about scripting and SOAP applies to CS2.
Let me know if that helps, or you still need something else.

Adobe Indesign CS6 not finding fonts

Dear Support,
Adobe Indesign is not detecting the font arial narrow bold, narrow italic, please can you inform what to do.
I have reinstalled the font in the windows\fonts folder restarted and still experience issues.
I have reinstalled adobe indesign cs6 and still no luck.
Please get back to me.
Kindest Regards.

Hi Jan Lotz,
You should keep the font arial narrow bold, narrow italic in the same folder where you keep your indesign file. Then open the indesign file hope it will work.
Good luck!
Not true. At the very same place as the InDesign document is saved should be a folder with the name "Document fonts" and in this folder you have to put all fonts.
You should also take care if the font family include a font with these styles and is compatible to your OS. Best practice is to use OTF fonts.

Tagging TextFrames With InDesign Server - not showign in desktop?

Hi all,
Ive come across a weird issue with marking up text frames with InDesign Server (CS3) whilst processing xml rules during an xml import.
I run the following code on desktop it works fine. When run on server, it works apart from the frames will not highlight when "Show Tagged Frames" is selected.
(code cut for brevity)..
//..open a new doc, import the xml file, process the rule set.
function AddTextFrame(element)
this.name = "AddTextFrame";
this.xpath = "//textFrame";
this.apply = function(element, myRuleProcessor)
with(element)
var frame = page.textFrames.add();
//...frame geometry code goes here...
markup(frame);
As Ive stated, the code is functionally fine on desktop and server, but the tagged frames will not highlight when the document is created on server?
Ive tried numerous work arounds (placeIntoFrame etc) but to no avail.
Any ideas, is this a known/expected behaviour?
Cheers, Scott

After much local experimentation and iteration with Adobe tech support, we have a fix for Problem nr. 1: cannot define the port that works in our environment (IDS CS4 running as a service, Windows 2008 Server).
Add this parameter to your server startup command line for each instance of InDesign Server you're running:
-ORBendPoint giop:tcp:<serverIP>:<portNumber>
where
<serverIP> is the static IP of the server that is running IDS. Note: The OmniOrb docs imply that you can use the server's domain name here, but that didn't work for us. 127.0.0.1 also did not work. The IP number does work. This might help your Problem nr. 2: wrong IP address in the application IOR if you set it to the IP you want to listen on, but we have no experience with that.
<portNumber> is the port you want IDS (via OmniOrb) to listen on. If you're running multiple instances as we are, each instance should have its own unique port number.
I completely agree that, as an enterprise product, IDS's default behavior of boldly going where no one has gone before in your port space at each restart is not the way to play nice in a firewalled, enterprise environment. This should be documented in Adobe's Introduction to InDesign Server in the command line parameter discussions, it would have saved us a lot of time

Why does InDesign sometimes NOT package fonts?

Hi. I'm using the latest version of InDesign and lately, when I package files, I've noticed that the 'document fonts' folder is not always created in the finished packaged folder. There seems to be no pattern to when it does or does not include them. For instance, on one job it did include them, then on the same job when the artwork had been updated, it did not. Same typefaces etc. Any ideas?

Okay. So you do not have the latest version but you do have the most recent patch for CS5. I know there were some issues with Type 1 fonts but I’ve heard nothing about issues with Opentype or TrueType especially on Windows.
Sorry, but I really don’t what to tell you.

InDesign does not package fonts used in placed .AI files

When we package a project for our print vendor, placed .AI files containing fonts do not get collected. I know those fonts are embedded in the .AI file when printing from InDesign, but sometimes our prep vendors need to make last minute edits to these .AI files before they RIP the project. Is there a way to have InDesign collect fonts from .AI files? I know we could use Illustrator .EPS format and uncheck "Embed Fonts", but our vendors prefer .AI files. Any add-on plugins available to solve this problem or other workarounds?

I suppose you could open each .ai file, go to select> object> text objects, copy, then paste into InDesign, save and package. Then delete the pasted type after packaging. This does not work with Zaph dingbats, symbol, or probably other "ornamental" fonts, which are converted to outline upon pasting.

InDesign CS4 not packing fonts

I'm using InDesign CS4. All of a sudden, a new problem has ocurred. When I package files, the "Fonts" folder is no longer being created with all the fonts used in the file. The "Links" folder is here, but no "Fonts"

Are you sure you haven't converted everything to outlines?

InDesign CS5 not recognizing font style

I recently installed InDesign CS5 on a Windows 7 machine. One of the fonts I have installed (both in the Windows/fonts folder and the InDesign font folder), Futura Lt Cn Bt, only shows up as an italics style, not a normal style.

The italics version shows up in ID and is installed in both my main font folder and my ID fonts folder. However, the "regular" or non-italics version, is also installed in my main fonts folder. I seem to have found a solution by finding a free download of this style (i.e. non-italics) of Futura. It created a separate font entry in my ID (rather than just adding a different style to my exisiting Futura Lt Cn Bt listing), but all seems to be working. Thanks for your help!

Plug-in not recognised CS5

I am updating my CS3 plug-in to CS5. I have it all compiling and linking but when I put the plug-in into the plug-ins folder and launch InDesign CS5 (Mac) it get an alert that says "Adobe InDesign does not recognise Elateral.InDesignPlugin as a valid plug-in. Please reinstall the Elateral.InDesignPlugin plug-in and restart InDesign.". Is there some new resource that I need to add or a new setting or a new callback I need to implement? I have put a break point in SDKPluginEntrypoint.cpp at IPlugIn* GetPlugIn() but it does not break which suggests that the runtime linkage is not working and the plug-in is not even being loaded. Any suggestions?

The Folders in your last post are part of the differences between CS3/4 and CS5 I was talking about. I asume it's the same game on Mac as on Windows.
Just generate a new project with dollyxs and add your source files to the project. The Folders you listed should then be created automatically.
As i wrote the other way is to modify your project file according to SDK samples. If you do that those folders should be created at time you compile the project too.
You can find infos about the same problem on Windows (I had 1 month before you, yes, "thank" you Adobe) in this post:

Basic questions on InDesign server

Hi All,
I'm studying InDesign server and have some basic doubts which are given below:
(1) I've already developed using JS/VB.net, can I directly use those tools directly in InDesign server without modifying anything?
(2) How to practice with InDesign server, since I didn't find any trial version of InDesign server?
(3) Since InDesign server not having any UI, how we an run, any basic ideas?
Thanks,
Praveen

1. That depends on what you have developed... User interface elements are no good in server code, for example.
2. I guess the best way would be to become an Adobe partner http://partners.adobe.com/.
But: there is a trial version if InDesign Server: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=indesign_server
3. InDesign server and desktop are essentially the same. Primarily I would suggest developing on the desktop version.
Logging to file, and starting InDesign Server with a console open are two ways of debugging on the server.
Message was edited by: Andreas Jansson. Adding info since I just noticed that there is a trial version of InDesign Server.

Getting the default font - possible? (default fonts problem in InDesign Server CS5)

Is there a way to decide whether a font is used as "default font" for a document?
Or a simple way to see whether a font is used at all?
The actual problem is that InDesign server (CS5 ver. 7.0.3.533) returns the "default font" along with all other used fonts, when looping through the document.fonts collection. This becomes a problem when the default font is never used in the document, and is also not present. Then the (name of) the default font may also become meddled by a style that does not even exist for that very font.
This is indicated as a problem in our application... as a missing font, just as the call to InDesign server reports back. But the font (with that style) doesn't even exist.
Running the same script on an desktop InDesign CS5 (ver 7.0.4) the unused default font of the same document is not returned at all.
Thanks,
Andreas

To get the default font, just check:
app.activeDocument.textDefaults.appliedFont
Obviously this didn't solve the problem, since InDesign server has made up a font name that is reported as missing... and it's not equal to the default font. So there is some lack of logic in my previous description.

Font's...manage through indesign server or os?

Hi,
I'm just getting started with InDesign Server, and working with packaged .indd file (i.e all elements in a nice folder structure).
My question is, if i'm uploading a new package onto my server, and want to use the fonts for that artwork, do I need to manually, or through some form of automation add the fonts to the windows server, or is there a function in the InDesign Server that deals with importing / loading fonts?
Any help much appreciated!
Many thanks,
Brett

You're pretty close, the outlined steps could work. Of course you'd have to add some more postprocessing steps - add or remove pages dependent on your conditional sections, let InDesign rebuild the index if you need one, eventually optimize the layout beyond the automatically maintained keep options.
With that number of produced documents your topmost issue will be speed. For that reason I'd try to not use IDML and outside processing - to open an existing document is much faster than to import it from IDML, and if you can reuse the same template document without close-open, it will be even faster. InDesign has many features such as conditional text, text variables, counters that could be utilized. Your script would then work straight on the document object model, given an input such as tab delimited text or xml.
It is possible to communicate from .net applications with InDesign, but here you should also run comparisons with VBScript and ExtendScript which both have the advantage to run within the InDesign process. There are also other advantages of VBScript and ExtendScript - controlling InDesign can be a bit inconvenient for strongly typed languages like C#, even though it is doable. The community and thus possible support is larger for ExtendScript.
Output will work in all mentioned formats. You might get along with a PDF-only workflow, but as you mentioned the print supplier may have special requirements.

IPAd saying not recognising server, won't sync with phone, not let me apps???

Ok so I have been travelling South America for 3 months. In the first 6?weeks my iPAd and I phone were syncing and working well. When I updated my phone and iPad to the 7.o2 my iPad started asking for my apple account which then was coming up incorrect. I reset this, but nothing came to my nail. I answered the questions, but it still wasn't recognising the password. My photos weren't syncing anymore, I'm not able to access iTunes or apps. When I try to log onto Facebook from Safari, it comes up weird and in a list of normal writing. My iPad says it does not recognise the server.
Everything is working well on my iPhone, but really need my iPad for travelling essentials which is the reason I bought it. Downloading books, music ,games , photos to fb etc.
Can someone please help?? I've tried resetting the iPad, but nothing. My email address is my id so this is only used.
There is no email address for apple support and only a number which would cost a bit from Peru
Thanks
Sheryl

You can try resetting your iPad and iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.
There are many ways to reach applesuppohttp://www.apple.com/support/contact/ depending on where you are.
