Lexmark C743 and Indesign CS4 Problem

Does anyone know why Indesign CS4 will only print to my Lexmark C734dn (a postscript 3 emulation printer) with the settings that are set via the printers own web page but not with the settings set in the InDesign print dialogue? Specifically I want to duplex print direct from InDesign. At present it seems one can only do this by exporting to a pdf and using Acrobat (where the options both appear and work).
Many thanks for any help.
James

Since InDesign is an Adobe product you might want to contact them.
Or, contact Lexmark about duplex printing with ID.

Hi, Accidentally somebody screw up Photoshop CS4 and InDesign CS4 Master edition on a MAC computer in the school. The install discs did not start to run therefore I can't reinstall the 2 missing programs. I want to install the softwares, therefore I download those from here. The downloaded program refuse to accept the serial number which was given to the school when they purchased the Master Collection CS4 MLP A00. Thank you for your help, in advance.

Hi Jeff,
Thank you. I am a little bit busy at work, sorry for the delayed reply. I tried to solve the problem, but it still exists. The 3rd of the Adobe disk is damaged someway. I tried to run on my mac at home and it has a failure. So I think we have no other choice that to download the full pack of master collection. I had a discussion with the IT expert and he figured out that company does not exist any more from where they purchased the Adobe Master Collection for Mac and PC. So If you would be kind to help me, what kind of information ID or any kind of document would be needed to identify the purchaser institute (us). I don't think any of us has an account at the Adobe. I will try to figur out. I desperately need to replace Photoshop and InDesign as without them it's really harsh to teach the kids fot the graphic design.
Sincerely yours.

Indesign CS4 Problem with weird characters HELP!!!

I am rather new to Indesign, but have been using it for several months with no problems. I design our church bulletins and my youth group bulletins using it every week. I don't know what happened but I opened previous documents tonight and when I tried to change the text with the text boxes, it shows the text being changed, but when I hit space or click off the text it turns into boxes instead of the text characters I typed. I have tried opening other docs and even other text boxes within the docs and everytime it does the same thing. When changing numbers it brings up a little box with numbers and chinese looking symbols next to them. This is really confusing me and google searching has come up with nothing to help. Can someone please help me before I lose my mind???

More inforamtion about restoring preferences can be found here: Adobe InDesign CS4 * Setting preferences
Read everything.
If that doesn't solve the problem, it sounds like a font problem. Are you having any other problems in other applications? It's possible you've selected a differnt fron than you are used to using.

InCopy SC5 and InDesign CS4 compatibility

Hello,
I’m on an older Mac G5, 10.4.11 and I am running CS4. The editor I work with is on a new iMac, 10.6.3 Intel Core I3 with InCopy CS5.
I’ve set-up my InDesign assignments for the editor to edit in InCopy. My only options when creating the assignments were to save as CS3 or CS4. I’ve saved the assignments in CS4. The editor in InCopy isn’t able to see the layout view on some of the assignments/stories and also isn’t able to make any changes in any of the different views.
When she tries to “check out” the file she is prompted with this message, “Unable to lock the following files:Workshop:PRODUCTION:INCOPY-INDESIGN EXHANCE:2010 Magazines-InCopy:HE10 Fall-InCopy:Celebrating 25years-Hiring .icml.”
The InCopy files are located on a server we both can access. I’ve made sure that her username is correct when I assigned the files.
My questions are could this be a server issue because the InCopy assignments are saved on a server and there is a problem with her username or password or could this be a compatibility issue between InDesign CS4 and InCopyCS5?
Please help,
spoimme

The main problem is that you're on CS4 and the other person is on CS5. These applications were not meant to be used that way.
You'll need a new computer to upgrade to CS5 for this work successfully (CS5 is Intel only). But I would also suggest that the editor run the CS5 7.0.2 patch which was released this morning and does address some issues that might be at work here.
Even it does, you need to be aware that because of text engine changes you will not likely be able to get a true indication of copy fit from one person to the other.

Smart objects from Illustrator and Indesign dimensions problem

I have been trying to find an answer to this problem for 6 months now and surprised no one else has tried to find any answers.
When we import something from illustrator or indesign as a smart object, for some reason the objects width and height will not keep their dimensions in proportion.
When the asset is first imported as a smart object it says the width and height are exactly 100%. However after that if you try to change the dimensions they will be out of proportion, usually the width will be 100% but the height will be out by about 1% to begin with. When you scale up, the percentages fall further and further apart. See image attached.
This has become a real problem for our workflow as the creative director insists we must correct every layer which has this issue by typing in the sizes manually, but then this doesnt always fix the problem either depending on which version of photoshop you are using.
Why does this happen, and how can we fix it for good?
Thanks, Chris.

I do not have the answer for I don't have illustrator and indesign. I do have Photoshop and have notice that it try to match resolutions and maintain sizes but it may also scale placed object etc. There are some some Photoshop preferences setting that can effect some operations. Photoshop also has support for non square pixels.
Make some test if illustrator and indesign have setting for pixel aspect ratio and DPI resolution. Make sure all documents have the same pixel aspect ratio and same DPI resolution and that the vector object to be imported are not larger then the Photoshop document their being imported to.
Thanks for the suggestions, but none of these would be the answer. Illustrator is Vector so it does not use DPI / Pixel aspect ratios etc.

Creative Suite CS3 and InDesign CS4 Issues

Hi,
I'm hoping this is the right place to post. I installed parts of Creative Suite CS3 on my system (just the basics, PS, ID, Illustrator, etc.).
Later on I just got Photoshop CS4 and Installed that.
Now, months later, I want to instally the rest of CS 3 on my system, yet half way through Disk 1, it ejects the disk and asks me to install the InDesign CS4 disk. I don't have InDesign CS4! I did install the trial version but then uninstalled it.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

A,
Uninstall anything CS4 (use Adobe's uninstaller; do not just drag to trash). Install your CS3 components; then install Photoshop CS4 again. It would seem there is either some dependence upon certain components shared by both versions; or maybe it's the way some data is transfered behind the scenes from one version to the other.
Remember to repair permissions and run DiskWarrior to fix any permissions, disk or directory issues that sometimes crop up.
On a slightly different note, on my well-maintained system, I had the Master Collection CS3 on my Mac; then installed the Master Collection CS4. When I recently decided to uninstall most of CS3 (per instructions), I found that for a few CS4 apps, I had to enter my password the first time I launched them. But Photoshop would tell me some scripts were missing, and the solution was to uninstall Photoshop CS4 and reinstall it.
Go figure!

Lion upgrade and inDesign printing problems

Upgraded to Lion and now inDesign cs4 crashes when I go to print

Did you do an in place upgrade of Lion? Not a great idea.
Clean install followed by a clean install of all applications. You should also take note of the following:

Importing Word Docs(2007) into InDesign CS4 problem

Well, I am creating a users guide in CS4 InDesgin, and I have a Word 2007 doc with tables in it, about 6 pages total, when I try to import that file, the whole InDesign freezes up and does not respond. When I have imported docs before, I had no issue? Is there something I am not doing? or is there a bug that I don't know about?
Thanks
Brian Watson
[email protected]

Well, I just accidently figured it out.. in Word 2007, if you save it as .docx is when I have the issue of InDesign freezing up and having to shut it down and restart InDesign. However, if I saved Word file as 97-2003 file .doc then no problem importing.. Thanks anyhow.. I hope this helps other folks..

Acrobat 9 and indesign CS4

I have been using layers in acrobat 9 pro to do some hide/show layers with javascript. The problem i ran into is that if i needed to update the pdf, i would loose the layers i had created in the pdf and/or the javascript. I could preserve the javascript by using 'replace' pages in acrobat but the layers would be lost.
I then decided to get indesign where i could create layers and then export them to the pdf, so every time i needed to redo the pdf, I didn't have to recreate the layers.
PROBLEM
If i create interactive buttons in indesign and then export them to a pdf, the pdf created is fine including interaction buttosn. However if i try to then update the original document by using 'replace' pages (this lets me keep the javascript), the buttons all disappear.
Below is the pdf from indesign which functions correctly with the buttons.
Below is the original pdf after i have imported the above using 'replace' pages. The buttons are still there and the mouse over works, but the images have disappeared including the prev/next arrows.
What gives adobe. I have checked and double checked all settings for the export including layers, hyperlinks, objects, embed, you name it but no joy.
Thanks to anyone with an answer.

This thread can be closed.
I had inadvertently tried to replace pages from an indesign created pdf into a non indesign created pdf and this created the problem.
Once i create the pdf from indesign and then add the javascript to the exported interactions in acrobat, i can replace pages with no problem once i continue to create them with indesign which exports the layers. This way my layers and javascript all stay intact and i can happily keep recreating the pdf without lots of work on the backend.
What acrobat does do is create a separate layer for the interactive buttons in the newly replaced document which i can then just merge into the page. which forms my background.
I hope this helps someone else.

InCopy CS4 and InDesign CS4 cannot open file at the same time!

I have 2 editors that make changes in my indd file. The one editor is able to open the file concurrently with myself (i'm in indesign) just fine. But when the other editor wants to open the file....I cannot open the indd file and vice versa. We are PC based.
shane

Yes, we are all working on the same server.
And Yes on the Editor A / scenario 1 (Designer opens file and Editor A opens file concurrently). works fine.
Editor A closes out of Incopy and so does Designer. Editor B opens the file and Designer tries to open the indd file and now the designer gets the warning: Cannot open document. You may not have permission or the document may be open already. This is the same error if the Designer opens the file first and Editor B tries to open it while the designer has it open.
Editor A and B are able to have the file open at the same time no problem.
Also this happens to all indd files that Editor B tries to open. So it is not linked to a problem with the file.
one other note: on the server just above the indd file...when Editor B has the indd open in InCopy... a 'temporary' Indesign Lock File appears.

Indesign CS4 problem

I can not select a layer or page and edit.
I can see both layers and pages but cannot select and edit anything?
I have tried to re-install sewel times and used ccleaner and intalled again.. still same problem.

Is the layer locked? Is everything on the master page?
Are you using Windows? See InDesign tools and panels don't respond to mouse clicks (Windows 7/Vista)

LaserJet and InDesign printing problem

All of a sudden my CS6 InDesign will not print to LaserJet.

This is so odd. On this particular problem page, a couple of days ago I replaced the image 3 times and it still gave me a printer error. I copied the page from the 30-page doc onto a new, single page and still had the problem. I deleted the image and still had the problem. There are three text boxes and I deleted them one at a time and each time, all the way down to one text box, I was still having the problem. Tonight I go back to the original 30-page doc., replace the image, and the page printed out fine. Frustrating!

Configuration to run PS and Indesign CS4 Effectively

Hello Adobe Users,
I need some feedback on a configuration that will allow for effective use of Adobe Photoshop CS4 and IndesignCS4 at the same time. The users currently uses a Dell Optiplex 745 PC with 3 Gig of Ram, with a ATI Radeo X1300 series graphics card that has 256M on it and support OpenGL2.0 and Shader Model 3.0 in at least some capacity.
When creating documents in InDesign and using Photoshop for editing, the system is dog slow.
This is a 2 GHz + Pentium processor and no other applications are running.
I can bump her to 4 Gb but don't see that making a huge difference.
I'm looking for suggestions? Replace with workstation level machine with XP64 and 16Gb of Memory?
Can you give me some examples of an effective Windows User platform that you are working with that works well with the two products running together?
Thanks in advance!

Flash Player 10 and IDE CS4 problems

Well, first I installed the new flash CS4 to test and made a
simple webpage with no code. I added a button and a Motion tween
animation that makes a box to go from a point to another. 35 frames
total, and a 'stop():' at the end of the timeline. The stop(); is
the only code.
Then I publish and test on the browser IE7, and I also open
the Task Manager. Ok, and the problem is: even with the animation
stoped at the frame 35, IE7 with the flash running is eating 4k of
memory from time(seconds) to time. 4k only for just one motion
tween that go increasing over time is not good. But if I remove the
layer with the motion tween, the 4k memory usage increasing stops.
Another problem is: if I add a component button on the a
scene, it works ok. But if I add another scene, add one instance of
the button component, and try to edit its label parameter, it will
give an error message when I run the movie. This one:
TypeError: Error #1009: It is not possible to access a
property or method of a reference of a null object.
at
testeCS4_fla::MainTimeline/__setProp___id1__Scene2_Layer1_0()
at testeCS4_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
But the only thing that I change is its label text, using the
component inspector parameteres panel.
One more:
The script generated by Flash IDE when we publish to a
webpage, to detect the flash player version is not detecting flash
player 10, even if we have it already installed. Because it only
search for: ("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.7"); and it should be
testing also for ("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.10");

Make sure the agent working the detection case knows about this
thread, and don't hesitate to ask them to escalate to a senior
agent. We'll get it figured out.
(And to answer your question, all I did was publish from
CS4.. you can look at my detection code source on my site. )
To try to help you out, I put a bunch of alerts inside of the
javascript on this page:
http://www.bentimagemedia.com/escalations/fptendetection/flashplayerversion10.html
That should give us a better idea of what the code is doing
when you view it.
I'm also wondering if perhaps this might not be a language
problem of some kind. If you have some friends who have the same
language OS that would let you test on their machine perhaps we'd
see similar results?
Ok. I have 3 computers at my home where I was testing this,
and I was getting the same problem and I had installed flash player
version 10,0,12,36 at the same time os all 3 computers.
But I found the problem. When we install flash player 10, it
will add a new key inside the registry saying this:
"ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.10", and it will also change
the value of the
"ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash/CurVer" key to:
"ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.10" also.
But looking at my registry ( you can see here also:
http://server6.theimagehosting.com/image.php?img=flashProblem.jpg&album=0&fullsize=1
), after installing the flash player 10, the value of "CurVer" was
still saying "ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.9" for some reason. So,
I guess it was a installation failure that happened at the same
time on all the 3 computers that I use.
So, the problem is now fixed because I unistalled flash from
all computers and installed it again. Now the registry is right
("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash/CurVer" key has:
"ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.10" ), and the detection code is
working and showing the right version.
So, the problem is fixed, but 2 questions remains:
1- How did flash player failed to right the right value when
installing?
2- How the Adobe FlashPlayer instalation version ( at Adobe's
) was detecting the right version insalled and all other codes were
not?
Anyway, thanks for you help.
Now, there is that very important problem of flash motion
tween eating memory.
