Anyone having issues with InDesign (CS5) and Suitcase Fusion 3 (Mac)?

I've run into a problem that I think might be caused by Suitcase Fusion 3 [Version 14.2.0 (319)], but I'm wondering if anyone here is having any issues with InDesign and Suitcase Fusion like I am?
Just about every time I launch an InDesign document or an Illustrator document (don't seem to have the issue in Photoshop, strangely enough) it pretty much crashes to the point where it's a force quit. Before anyone asks the question, this is what I've done - I've reformatted my hard disk (even writing 0s!), done a clean install of Lion (10.7.3), clean install of Creative Suite 5 (and updates), clean install of Suitcase (and updates)...you get the idea. I'm still ending up with crashing just about every time I open a document in these two apps.
As an experiment I downloaded a (fully functioning) trial version of FontAgent Pro (which I didn't like, btw) and didn't encounter any crashing at all in either application.
I've opened a ticket with Adobe to see if they have any details as to whether this is a known conflict or whatever (though I don't hold much hope for getting help from them since it's looking more like a Suitcase issue than a Creative Suite one).
Does anybody have any suggestions as to what I can do to try and resolve this?
I'm in the middle of producing two magazines and I really really don't need this! Lol

From the lovely people at Extensis tech support -
Thanks for the info. As you said, if this is happening when you have only manually activated fonts, then the auto-activation isn't coming into play which does lead me to think it is related to the plug-in generally and maybe the sleep issue, which you say you definitely have. So I've added you to the sleep issue tracking.
If you find yourself coming back from putting the computer to sleep and the apps with Suitcase plugins have hung, do this:
1)      Go to your spotlight and type in "activity"
2)      Launch "Activity Monitor"
3)      Highlight the name of the adobe/quark application that is hanging by clicking it.
4)      Click the "Sample Process" button at the top of the screen.
5)      Click the "Save" button.
6)      Click the "Save" button again and save the file to your desktop.
7)      This will generate a file such as " Sample of Adobe Illustrator CS5.txt"
8)      Repeat this process with any other application that is hanging.
9)      Highlight the "FMCore" process by clicking it.
10) Click the "Sample Process" button at the top of the screen.
11) Click the "Save" button.
12) Click the "Save" button again and save the file to your desktop.
13) This will generate a file named " Sample of FMCore.txt"
14) Place these files along with the ".Plugins.txt" files created earlier into a new folder called "Plugins"
15) Right click (control+click) to compress into a .zip file.
Please attach this zip in reply to this mail.
When we are sure of a fix, we'll get back to you. In the meantime here are some workarounds:
Option 1:
1)      Back up your font sets by dragging them to the desktop
2)      Remove SF3 v14.2 by following the instructions here:
http://www.extensis.com/en/support/kb_article.jsp?articleNumber=4020
3)      Download and re-install Suitcase Fusion 3 (version 14.0.6) from:
http://dl.extensis.com/downloads/ST/EN/M/SuitcaseFusion3-M-1406-EN.zip
4)      Are there fonts and font sets in your old font vault you would like to recover?
If NO :
a)      Open SF3
b)      Simply drag and drop your original fonts into the SF3 "Font Library". This will copy the fonts into a new font vault.
If YES : Restore your old fontvault from the backup the removal tool created
a)      If you choose "Y" to KEEP your font vault earlier when you ran the removal script, on your desktop you will find a folder called "Extensis-Backup-today's date" that contains a backup of your previous suitcase fusion 3 fontvault.
b)      Move your old font vault from the "Extensis-Backup-today's date" folder on your desktop into this folder:
/Users/[your username]/Library/Extensis/Suitcase Fusion/Suitcase Fusion.fontvault
c)       Launch SF3 from your dock. you should now see all your old fonts and font sets.
Option 2:
Remove our auto-activation plugins and activate your fonts manually in SF3 and/or add your adobe/quark apps to the SF3 > Preferences > General > Global Auto-Activation Options list. here's how:
1)      In SF3: choose Suitcase Fusion 3 > Manage Plugins
2)      Uncheck the boxes for adobe/quark apps; this will remove our auto-activation plugins
3)      Choose SF3 > Preferences > General
4)      Under "Global Auto-Activation Options", press the "+" button to add your adobe/quark apps
Please note that "global auto-activation" is less accurate than our plugin-based auto-activation. Double check your font usage in your design app to confirm the correct font was loaded after opening a document.

Create unlimited folios today with InDesign CS5 and 5.5!

Adobe's official statement
http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/2011/10/create-unlimited-folios-today-with-indesi gn-cs5-5.html
Did you know…
Customers with InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 can now create an unlimited number of .folio files for no additional charge.
You already know that InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 integrate with Adobe Digital Publishing Suite to allow customers to publish apps to tablet devices such as the iPad, Xoom and PlayBook. But for InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 customers who are interested in creating content for tablet devices but are not yet customers, it is now easier than ever to try digital publishing before making the financial investment in the Digital Publishing Suite solution that meets your needs.
InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 customers can now:
Create an unlimited number of .folio files in InDesign
Preview them on Adobe Content Viewer – including interactivity – to see how they will render when published to a tablet device
Share them with colleagues or clients on a 1:1 basis via the Adobe Content Viewer
Further, customers can now access the Folio Producer Service in the Digital Publishing Suite with a valid Adobe ID to manage and edit their .folio files. All of this can be done before purchasing Digital Publishing Suite.
If you are interested in learning how to create an App directly from InDesign CS5 or CS5.5, without writing code or depending on a developer, feel free to try it. You can pitch ideas to your client or your boss; or you can build a portfolio of your work and preview it on a tablet device. Practice makes perfect, and with an unlimited number of .folios, you can practice as much as you want! When you’re ready to publish to an app store, you can select the Digital Publishing Suite solution that is right for you.

I'm sorry EvBurk, what you want is intended not to work.
All Adobe's promotional material concerning InDesign and Digital Publishing (including the above "official statement") carefully uses verbs like "create" or "produce". But they never mention "distribute" or "spread", without explicitly referring to their exclusive hosting services. The whole Folio thing (in contrast to the former "issue" format) revolves around not giving you any chance of physically exporting, managing or owing the folio file itself. It's always somewhere on Adobe's or Apple's servers, or on your iPad, which is also as shut as a vault. So there's no way to export a folio file and toss it around like a pdf or jpeg. All you can do (without a paid distribution) is "share" your folio with some others, under the idea of "testing" and "reviewing". But this can be a cumbersome method. And even when paid (for the app), it's still difficult to distribute it outside Apple's or Android's market.
More than a year ago (in the middle of the Flash-on-iOS debate) Adobe users, developers, bloggers, and evangelists heavily criticized Apple's "walled garden". Adobe literally stated "We Love Apple - What we don't love is anybody taking away your freedom to choose what you create, how you create it, and what you experience on the web." Well, you could say now: "I love Adobe, but what I don't love is Adobe taking away my freedom to own my files, and distribute them on my own terms." They let us create, but not spread our ideas. It's like giving you a typewriter and copier, that only works with Adobe stock paper. Like giving you a voice and an instrument, but only allowing you to sing and play in some walled gardens (dress code: Apple ID) or secluded shed (invitation only).
I really wonder why they so fiercely protect 'their' Folio file. Why do they either have to be "under protection" or be turned into apps? I understand why Apple wants and needs to curate apps, but they don't mind me spreading my own ePubs, mp3 or jpegs. Why doesn't Adobe let me put my folio's on my own server, or send them off to someone with my own preferred service? The Content Viewer could easily be an Acrobat-like reader and let the iPad open folio's (by web links or mail enclosures) into it. If I see how many questions, worries, and problems creators and users have due to this whole closed technique and business, it would be easier to just let go and see what happens. Is it money? Of course it is. But my guess is that Adobe would eventually benefit more from it.
So I hope Adobe declares the Folio as an "open" standard soon, but they're definitely not in that stage. Maybe the specification of the file format just isn't ready yet. Maybe some managers need to remember again how to "Spread the Love"...

How do I create the highest quality pdfs with InDesign CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9? New settings needed?

I sent a lot of jobs to printing companies by sending them high-res proofs on very large, multiple page jobs with lots of photos and graphics. Many companies are requesting that I just send pdfs. I just upgraded to Windows 7 and CS5. I used to have some special settings in my older Acrobat Distiller and InDesign which have been lost. They gave a much better result that what I seem to be getting from the "Press Quality" setting for pdf's. Does anyone have an excellent list of settings that can used to improve the quality of pdf's? I don't know if this is a combination of settings in both InDesign itself, as well as in Acrobat Distiller, or if the settings in one program will solve this. I have a job pending that needs improvement in the pdf quality. Thank you.

Thanks Peter. My last post was specific to using the Print Booklet feature (which is now solved thanks to your help). But this is related to creating high-res pdfs in general that go to printing companies, and being used for sending high-res proofs to clients. In general I don't need to set up printer spreads for my jobs (just for the one I asked about in my other post), but I used to have some specific settings that a printing company supplied me with to give the highest res pdf output possible. Those settings did in fact give a better result than the Press Quality settings built into my Adobe programs. I have had printers over the years request that I create a postscript file, then use distiller (using the settings they supplied) and I got an excellent result. After getting a new computer, Windows 7 and new CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9 upgrade, all of these settings were lost. I have notes on the settings from a couple of years ago, but they don't seem to apply to the CS5 programs in every given area and I feel like there may be just a couple of boxes that either should or shouldn't be checked that I'm missing now.
I understand that this is very specific information, and I may just need to go with the Press Quality settings. The printing company that gave me that great info a while back is no longer in business and other printing companies I have checked with won't spend that kind of time with me (or maybe they don't know anything other than using the Print Quality setting). Maybe within the CS5 program now, the quality of this setting has been improved more than I realize yet. Again, I'm new to CS5 and am just trying to get everything back to the way I used to have things running, and trying to get the best results possible.
Thanks again!

Large Volume Data Merge Issues with Indesign CS5

I recently started using Indesign CS5 to design a marketing mail piece which requires merging data from Microsoft Excel. With small tasks up to 100 pieces I do not have any issues. However I need to merge 2,000-5,000 pieces of data through Indesign on a daily basis and my current lap top was not able to handle merging more than 250 pieces at a time, and the process of merging 250 pieces takes up to 30-45 mins if I get lucky and software does not crash.
To solve this issue, I purchased a Desktop with a second generation Core i7 processor and 8GB of memerory thinking that this would solve my problem. I tried to merge 1,000 piece of data with this new computer, and I was forced to restart Adobe Indesign after 45 mins of no results. I then merged 500 pieces and the task was completed, but the process took a little less than 30 minutes.
I need some help with this issue because I can not seem to find another software that can design my Mail Piece the way Indesign can, yet the time it takes to merge large volumes of data is very frustrating as the software does crash from time to time after waiting a good 30-45 mins for completion.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Operating System is Windows 7
I do not know what you mean by Patched to 7.0.4
I do not have a crash report, the software just freezes and I have to do a force close on the program.
Thank you for your time...

Page Setup Issue with InDesign CS3 and Xerox DC240 w/ external Fiery

Running on OS 10.4.11
Printing to Xerox DC2400 w/ External Fiery (driver v1.1 v3016.102)
Application InDesign CS3 v. 5.0.2
When I send a document in CS3 to print, I have to constantly go to the page setup and select the proper paper size and orientation in order to print properly. In CS2, I was able to set all this by simply going to the Setup window and designating my paper size and orientation there. Does anyone have the same or similar issue? Were you able to resolve it? All suggestions are welcomed. I have contacted Xerox and they say that this is not an issue with their driver, they say that this is an application level issue!!
Thank you.

I think I may have figured it out by trial and error. In the Pages palette, there's an option in the pulldown called "Panel Options". I set both sizes to "Small" and turned off "Thumbnails". Seems to have worked - knock wood. Presumably when thumbnails is turned on, InDesign is updating the contents of the document AND the pages palette thumbnail simultaneously. Anyway, that seems to have fixed it. Just wanted to post this solution FYI for anyone else who may be having this problem.

Issues with MBP C2D and networks with any PCs attached...

So for a long time any time I go to anyone's home with a wireless network, I will jump on and the network will stop working for anyone but me. This happened recently when my girlfriend updated from a netgear that broke to a Linksys wrt54gs. Any time I connect my MBP C2D to it wirelessly I know out the rest of the house, 2 desktop PCs. I also have this problem at my store where it affects the people working around me, so that they cannot connect to the net, which is a BIG hinderance to them, obviously. I had this problem with my wrt54g and changed the firmware to one noted somewhere else (different forum) and it works fine, PS3, and everything connected works perfectly. I am almost to the point of buying a PC so I stop knocking out peoples networks, any thoughts on this, I don't want to have to go back to a PC
Oh and I am using a WEP 128bit hex and no other security on both networks.

I had similar problems with a WRT54G Linksys Router, and after a bunch of searching, I found that there is a problem with the latest firmware on the router. I downgraded the firmware as the post recommended (Linksys Forum) and now all my macs can connect.
Here's a link to the post I found on the Linksys site that solved my problems:

Cross platform issues with InDesign CS5 or earlier

Potential client would like me (designer on a Mac) to design print docs which they can then edit on their PCs. Would love to hear feedback from others about any cross-platform issues/best practices suggestions. Thanks!

No problem at all, the only thing you have to do is make sure you both have the same fonts in a flavour (Opentype) that you can both read. So when you send them a Indesign document using these fonts they should be able to open it up on a PC without getting a "missing fonts" warning. Once you've got that sorted you're away, I do exactly this all the time.
Oh and of course you must have the same version of Indesign! You can save back one version (or from CS5.5 to CS4) but it's not recommended for this type of workflow.

Any issues with Premiere CS5 and CS4 on the same machine?

I want to install the trail version of Premiere CS5, but I want to know if I'll still be able to run CS4 if needed during the trial period, as well as after the trial period if I decide not to upgrade. Does uninstalling CS5 mess up CS4 in any way?
J. D.

The only issue I've found was related to tape capturing. My Canon XH A1 footage stopped being captured when I installed CS5 as trial (However I've had it as trial for a few hours only). Once I entered the licence it started working again. This is the only thing! Don't uninstall Acrobat Pro if you do have it installed.
This could have to do with the fact that as trial some codecs are not installed. Case in point is AME CS5, it is only able to export to a few formats as trial.

Hyperlink issues in InDesign CS5 and CS6

This might be obvious, but it's driving me insane. I'm highlighting text and linking to external URL's from InDesign. In InDesign it seems to keep rewriting the hyperlinks? When I highlight and change it to a specific URL, I'll highlight another one and then the previous hyperlink goes to another URL in my hyperlinks list? Does this make sense? Anyone else have this problem? I'm just trying to build a resume and link to websites. Microsoft Word does this fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gerry

Works fine for me, might be the process of how you create the links. My process is simple, I highlight the text "One", and then in the URL: box type in the website then hit return when done.
Thinking this thorugh some more, I believe you may be not selecting the entire hyperlink use "Go To Source" to select the link entirely.

Print problem with InDesign CS5 and Power RIP-X

When I try to print an InDesign page using PowerRIP I get a big X across the page that is not in the document. Any ideas as to why and how I can fix this?

The demo version PowerRIP adds the X watermark.

AFP networking with indesign cs5 jumpy folders

I have a snow leopard server with afp filesharing and 10.6 clients connecting to it. Ever since we upgraded to adobe cs5 we have problems that folder-name toggles(jumps) between upper and lower case. This makes it almost impossible to for example mount an image in an indesign document. The jumps can be seen in both finder and open file in indesign.
The problem persists until i quit the for example the indesign cs5 and reconnect the network share. If i den start indesign cs5 the problems comes back. This problems only happends when using afp-fileshares, if we copy the exact same folder-structure to a local disc it works fine. We have no special characters in the filepath.

Indesign creates a temoraryfile with / (slash) in, this is generally a very bad idea to have exactly as danegeld states.
Hopes either apple or adobe solves this quick, i just got off the phone with the adobe support here i sweden and they say that there is no support on the cs5 products if we have the files on a network share.
who doesnt work in a networked enviroment. to have a workflow then you have to copy every file you use for a indesign document to the local disc first and then upload the result to a fileshare when you done editing, not very efficent.

Possible to create medium res .pdf file with InDesign CS5?

Hello,
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to create a medium res .pdf file with InDesign CS5?
I'm working with a client and have been sending him both high res and low res files of a catalog project. High res .pdf is 12.8MB and low res is 1.2MB. He is asking whether I can create something in between the two, say somewhere around 6 to 8 MB.
Any insight would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Tania

PDFs do not have a resolution. The graphics within do, however..
Look at the downsampling settings and experiment until you get what you want.

Font issue with InDesign and OS 10.6

I have read quite a bit on this but have found no resolution. We installed OS 10.6 on two of our three G5 Macs at work. We use InDesign CS4 and OS 10.6.5.
When we open an InDesign file that we all share, the machines with 10.6 on it say fonts are missing. (I believe this is a naming convention problem.) I learned that some of the fonts for InDesign should be moved to the InDesign font folder. We did that. That helped on several of the fonts. However, we still have an issue with Helvetica Neue, and Universe (67 or other numbers). I have the same Universe font family listed, but when I go to find 67 or 47, they aren't there.
Anyone else having this problem? Do we need to go in to every document and change the fonts to avoid this error? Is there a better fix?

I have just swapped from an old Mac Mini (using 10.4.11) to the new Mac Mini (using 10.6.6). I did not do any fiddling about fonts. Everything is as it installs. The only thing I did is to resolve duplicate fonts in Font Book.
For convenience, I used Arial for documents. Now when I open an ID document, it says Arial[TT] (as well as bold, italic...) is missing. I checked the Arial ttf group is in /Library/Fonts, but in ID font list, it shows an Open type.
All I want is that the fonts should work, when I open all the InDesign documents (still in CS2 Version) that I created since last five years. I am no techie by any means, what I need is a step-to-step to solve the font issue, so that I can get on work immediately.
Any concrete step-to-step advice is highly appreciated.
