Jumping pages in InDesign CS 5.5?

Working in InDesign CS 5.5 with a 12 or 16 pages tabloid newsletter. Very often when I click for instance in a menu choice or Enter for implementing a change or new stuff, the pages jump uppwards very fast and I end up at page 3 or so without the change at page 8 is done properly. This happen very often, more often now than one year ago. It is only happening i InDesign, not in Phoytoshop or Open Org. I am working with a Mac OS X vers 10.7.5 How can I stop this annoying events?

Is this a "recycled" file that's been resaved many times? Try a trip through .idml. See Remove minor corruption by exporting
And what mouse are you using? Can't remember which one, but either the Mighty Mouse or the Magic Mouse was prone to all sorts of strangeness in ID.

How do I place text from Pages in InDesign

How do I place text from Pages in InDesign?

You will need to export the text from Indesign as either .rtf or .doc files and import those.
You can also cut and paste but I assume you have already tried these options and are not happy with the result, but haven't said why.

How to set unequal columns using master pages in InDesign CS3?

I don't have CS3 anymore but I don't think this has substantially changed in the last few versions of InDesign.
Choose View > Grids & Guides > uncheck Lock Column Guides. Then drag the column guides to the position you want.

, and jump pages. Is there a way to access the keyboard.. to clean?d

Help! it has taken me 1/2 hour to write this. The keys on the right hand side of my computer, will cause the cursor to ,
jump backwards, delete whole lines of text, and wreck havoc with anything I attempt to do. Jump pages, etc. Just moving the cursor via trackpad will open of close webpages, and send e-mails to those not intended. Maybe, something is gumming up the keyboard. Is there a way to remove cover and clean?
Or is it a heat up problem. I can't keep buying a new computer every five years. Have had Macs since 94'. But, wallet thinner, must go to PC if can't fix this one. I have 5 others upstairs that can't find anyone that can fix.

Hello,
It could be stuck key. (or keys)
You can try cleaning the keys, here is how you can do that.
http://mij.oltrelinux.com/ibook/cleaning_keyboard/
Pop the caps off and clean around them.
If that doesn't work then you may require a new keyboard.
Here is how to remove and replace an iBook keyboard.

Should it require a new keyboard, they can be replaced very cheaply.
Remember to get the right one for your iBook (i.e 14" or 12" models differ)

Adobe Reader: Jumping pages

Hi,
As there does not exist a newspaper app for BlackBerry OS10 for my daily newspaper I have to download the newspaper as PDF-file, the size is between 10 and 90MB. The preinstalled Adobe Reader would be great, but when scrolling within the document and zooming into the PDF file resp. the text, the Adobe Reader often jumps to another page, e.g. from page 5 to page 20. This is not a good user experience!
With my older BlackBerry devices I never had such an issue!
Is BlackBerry aware of this "Jumping-pages-problem" and is there a software solution on the way to solve it?

Can you please do the following in Reader:
Click Edit, Preferences.
Choose Documents.
Check the box marked, Restore last view settings when reopening documents.
This should do the trick.

Ce genre de choses arrive lorsque les blocs de numérotation sont hors de la page. Si ce n'est pas le cas, tente un export en .idml

My trackpad on my laptop is freezing, jumping pages? HELP! I bought a wireless trackpad,

My trackpad to my laptop is freaking out. Freezing, Jumping pages. I won't touch it & it still freaks. We bought a wireless trackpad & it still flips. I don't know what's wrong. Please help.

Open the MBP and examine if the battery has swollen. If not, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.

Page jumps around in indesign

Downloaded the trial version of indesign CS5. OSX 10.6.3, 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB, 1067 MHz RAM, 1 TB HD.
Working on a doc and page seems to jump around inexplicably on its own. May be some preference I need to set correctly or some other minor glitch but it is extremely annoying. Possibly Mouse related? Have no idea but need to resolve this issue before purchase.
Thanks in advance.

This is likely due to the Live Screen Drawing option in Preferences being set to Immediate - the default - rather than Delayed.

How do I change the text color of footers on select pages? (InDesign CS6)

Good afternoon,
Months ago, I worked with a graphic designer to put together a 100-page workbook for my training company. He turned all of the files over to me and I'd like to make a small change before we print another run for a new client. Specifically, I'm having trouble changing the text color on select pages. Since a picture says 1,000 words, let me give you an example:
As you can see, the copyright information on the right side of the page is difficult to read here when placed over the photo (you may have to look closely, but it's along the guy's sleeve). What I'd love to do is change that part of the footer (not the left, page number side) to white text. This would make it quite a bit easier to read. There's a number of other pages in the book that I want to make this change to. I'm not sure why I never noticed it or mentioned it to the designer. I suppose I've become more discerning since then.
Let me tell you what I've tried to do:
I learned how to override master pages by CTRL+SHIFT clicking on the footer. However, this has not worked for me. It allows me to change the page number part, but not the copyright side. Additionally, sometimes when I override the master the formatting of the footer goes goofy. For instance, the left side and right side come together and end up in the middle of the page I'm working on.
I'm looking for a quick way to go through and make the footers easier to read on pages where they are backed by a photo. Hoping you can help me. Please let me know if you need any other information.
Best,
Taylor

I think you should have left it as it was. It seems like what you had was single pages flowing as spreads within InDesign. Like below. That is the correct way, and when you changed it to all single, it did create your footer problems.
Will you be sending the file as a PDF to your online printer? If so, then leaving the InDesign file set as below is fine. The PDF output will separate the pages.
All you have to do is make sure that Pages, not Spreads, is chosen when you output the PDF

Export selected items on each page in InDesign to JPEG

Hi All,
I have InDesign CS5.5. I have a document with more than 50 pages and each page has unique image and the description for image.
I need to export each page as JPEG. but i don't want to export full page. i need only the items on each page. So i go to each page and select all the items and export. while exporting i use the same name of the image used in each page.
I tried writing a script but it exports only the active page. i do not know how to navigate to the next page and export.
is some one can help.
below is my script.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myNumPages = myDoc.pages.length; //get the number of pages
var myFilePath = myDoc.filePath; //get the file path
var myRectangle = app.activeWindow.activePage.allGraphics; //get the graphics of the active page
var myPageName = app.activeWindow.activePage.name; //get the page name.
           if(myRectangle.length >1)
                    alert("the page has more than one image. Delete the other image to export");
                    exit();
var myImageName = myRectangle[0].itemLink.name; //get the name of the image
app.select(NothingEnum.NOTHING);
for(var i=0; i<myNumPages; i++)
          app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.high;
          app.jpegExportPreferences.exportResolution = 300;
          app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.exportRange;
          app.jpegExportPreferences.pageString = myPageName;
          mySelectedItems();
function mySelectedItems()
          var myObj = new Array;
          myObj = app.activeWindow.activePage.pageItems;
          try
                              app.activeWindow.activePage.groups.add(myObj);
                              catch(e)
          app.select(app.activeWindow.activePage.allPageItems);
          app.selection[0].exportFile(ExportFormat.JPG, File(myFilePath+"/"+myImageName+".JPEG"), false);

export all image of each page try like this
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myFolder = myDoc.filePath;
var myImage = myDoc.allGraphics;
for (var i=0; myImage.length>i; i++){
    app.select(myImage[i]);
    var MyImageNmae = myImage[i].itemLink.name;
    app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.high;
    app.jpegExportPreferences.exportResolution = 300;
       app.selection[0].exportFile(ExportFormat.JPG, File(myFolder+"/"+MyImageNmae+".JPEG"), false);
    alert(myImage[i].itemLink.name)

How can I convert 75 Illustrator pages into InDesign?

I'm working on a rulebook for a boardgame. Each page has vector art and text blocks intermixed to explain the rule mechanics. It now exists as 75 individual Illustrator files that need to be combined into a single PDF document.
Obstacle 1: Illustrator doesn't have enough space for 75 artboards
Obstacle 2: Using copy-paste to put each into InDesign doesn't work: Each line of text becomes an individual text block (and therefore uneditable).
Obstacle 3: Using the Place function loads each page as a uneditable picture. I'd have to open each individual page in Illustrator to make a change.
Background: The rulebook was created in a ten-year-old version of Macromedia Freehand, which will not work on my new iMac. Converting it to illustrator resulted in 75 individual .ai files
Is there a way to allow more space in Illustrator to hold more artboards? Can two exported .pdf files be merged together (so the rulebook could be done with two or more .ai files)? Or do I have to start all over in InDesign?
Is it just me, or are InDesign and Illustrator two halves of a single program, but don't work together? There has to be a way for the latest in two Adobe software titles to accomplish what Freehand could do ten years ago with just one program.

Illustrator and InDesign have completely different file formats because they were developed independently by different teams and for different users. Their way of handling text is also completely different. That's why they don't exchange data as well as you would like.
You could only copy small vector objects from Illustrator to InDesign, and it wouldn't retain their position so that wouldn't be practical. Formatted text can not be copied between the applications.
I would use the Place command. When you need to edit a page use the Edit Original command. You can Option/Alt-double-click on the placed AI file and it will open in Illustrator for you to make your changes. Save the changes and they will be automatically updated in InDesign.
Otherwise, you will have to recreate the entire project from scratch in InDesign.

How do I edit master footer on certain pages in Indesign?

I am making changes to a large Indesign document that someone else started so I'm not sure how the master footers were set up nor how to change them. It looks like that the master footers reflect the section of that page. How is this set up to begin with? As I'm changing content some of the footers are not being updated. For example, a certain section is now longer and ends up taking more pages but the footer isn't reflecting the correct section name. Along with that I notice that one of the section footers has a misspelled word. How do I change that? I don't want to click and unlock the footer to change it as then it won't be linked to the master any more.

Is there one master for all pages, or a master for each section?
If a single master, it's probably using a Running Header variable to pick up the section name, but if there's separate master for each section you need to apply the correct master to your pages to get the footer to match. Edit the spelling whre the error occurs, on the master if the word is spelled out, or in the text where the content for a variable is being picked up.
