MathType 6.7e with InDesign CS6 on Mac OS 10.6.8

We have created an equation as EPS/None format by using the MathType version mentioned above.
The same equation was imported into InDesign CS6 and found that there was an extra space that occurred around the equations. But we did not give any additional space before/after the equations in MathType.
The above space was taken by default while saving eps/none format in MathType itself.
On Windows, There is an option called "Picture Padding". We could control that extra spacing before even we created any equations.
On Mac, I was unable to find that option for the above version.
Since we struggle a lot to adjust an extra space in InDesign on every equation that occurred by default while saving as EPS/None format.
We are running out of time to deliver the pages to client.
Can you please guide me on how to solve this issue?

Regarding picture padding on the Mac...
As you noted, on Windows it requires a change in the Windows Registry. On the Mac, this is in an Apple Plist.
Here’s where the file is located: ~/Library/Preferences/com.DesignScience.DSMT6.plist
Note that this is a hidden folder. You may already understand how to find it, but in the event you don’t, the easiest way is to open a Finder window and click the Go menu. Press the alt/option key, and you'll see Library appear between Home and Computer. Click it, and when it opens, then you can navigate to the Preferences folder. (Note that this is not the Library folder you'll find simply by clicking Macintosh HD. That's not the hidden Library folder, and you will not find the plist there.)
Before opening the file, if MathType is running, close it, otherwise any changes will be overwritten when you close MathType.
Once this plist file is open, scroll down near the bottom to the key named Windows/PicturePadding. The default value is 2. You can change it to 0 and save the file. If you have the Apple Developer Tools, the best way to edit this file is with the Property List Editor app. Don't even try with TextEdit.app. Another app that works is TextWrangler.app.
This may solve the issue, but you may also see some clipping of the image. You'll have to experiment a bit to see what works. We plan to improve this process in MathType 7 to make it possible to change this value through the MathType GUI.

  • InDesign CS6 on Mac OSX 10.9.3 crashes on startup

    Hello out there
    I have a problem with InDesign CS6 on Mac OSX 10.9.3 and I'm really desperate right now...
    I've installed the CS6 Master Collection some days ago.. all programs (f.e. Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects) are working fine, but InDesign doesn't.
    When I try to start it, it suddenly crashes during (or immediately after) the step "Starting up Service Registry":
    You can find the crash log here:
    http://db.tt/vzRV3kzt
    These are my computer facts:
    I really tried everything..
    For example I tried all those steps:

    and this:

    and this:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-system-errors-freezes-mac.html
    and I also tried starting it in the Admin/Safety Mode.
    I also did some research in this forum, but couldn't find a solution...
    So, I have no further ideas how to solve that problem.
    Did anybody have the same problem? It would be really great if you could help me...
    I never had any problems with InDesign CS5 or earlier versions.
    Many thx,

  • Indesign CS6 on MACs with OS 10.8 are having problems with links

    Hi
    Indesign CS6 on MACs with 10.8 are having problems with links. All links to other files have to be updated when opening a file although definitely nothing has changed to the linked files.
    We can rule out our company's networking and the system hosting the files (HELIOS software on RedHat Linux VM). This happens with newly created Indesign files and with old ones. E.g. we create a file on Tuesday, save it and open it again on the exact same MAC on Wednesday and all links to other fiels (.indd, .png, .bmp, etc. nothing uncommon) have to be updated as they all show the yellow triangle + black exclamation mark symbol next to them. Has anybody else experienced this, What can we do? We have tried absolutley everything and updated all software from MAC OS to CS6 itself but nothing seems to help on the long run.
    Any further information required?
    M. Miller

    Thanks for your quick reply.
    We actually noticed that there also seems to be something wrong with the timestamps:
    If we open the infos via the MAC finder to a file (.psd e.g.) which is linked in one of our indesign files, it states a certain date of creation.
    If we then switch to the Indesign file we just opened in which we had to update all links and open the infos to exactly the same file we looked at in the finder, a different date of creation is stated. So there also seems to be a mistake here (hope it's clear what I mean).
    We are ruling out our network as the error cannot be "re-enacted". We have created numerous test files in Indesign (simple white page containing one link to a .psd file which is also used in one of the supposedly defective files) and have opened them on various MACs with various OS versions over the past days/weeks but unfortunately the files open without any notifications or errors.
    Just as a background: a few months ago, the problem seemed to occur between MACs with differing OS, 10.6 - 10.8 at first. A file which was created on a 10.6 MAC could not be opened without updating all links on a 10.8 MAC. That is why we updated everything to 10.8. The error did not occur for about 2-3 weeks but then reoccured again.?
    Have you heard anything similar?

  • Linotype Decoration Pi will not work with InDesign CS6

    Linotype Decoration Pi Font will not work with InDesign CS6. If I buy a new version from the Sdobr store, will it work?

    Has the font ever worked in CS6? If not, did it work in a previous version? Did it ever work in any version of ID using your current OS version? I ask the last question because I helped someone on another forum today that had a font that did not survive migration on their Mac. In their case, the font was selectable but the application would crash exporting to PDF or printing.
    I'm using a PC. It works here.
    It is listed along with the fonts that start with D here.

  • Having major issues with InDesign CS6

    Having major issues with InDesign CS6. Not only is it crashing, but it is corrupting the existing file.  Then when I relaunch, it is not allowing me to open the file again.
    In another instance, yesterday I opened an file created 3 months ago and it allowed me to make changes, however I could not save them to the existing file, or not even to a new name.
    I had to copy each layer on each page to create a new document.  NOT GOOD!!!

  • Crash with Indesign CS6 and Keyboard Maestro

    Anyone else experiencing crashes when using Keyboard Maestro with Indesign CS6 on OSX Mavericks? (Latest update of all mentioned apps).
    Indesign crashes when I try to copy certain items in Indesign, but it is not possible to narrow down which. Happends even when there are no macros installed in KBM. Therefore it seems like its the Keyboard Maestro Engine that causes the crashes.

    Yes, I would certainly get the latest update. That we often solve issues like these, for this is not normal. Some further tips would be quite InDesign, then to trash your InDesign preferences and then re-start InDesign (it will rebuild them again). Some further areas to look into would be:
    * Corrupt Font(s) (or corrupt font caches - see below)
    * Corrupt Image(s)
    * Power Failures (power surges)
    * Placing images via drag-and-drop from an Internet page
    * Working on an InDesign file over a network or on a remote server
    If all else fails, we as Markzware (I work for them) also offer a Service to fix corrupt InDesign documents. See:

    Hopefully this helps you.

  • Sign in with indesign CS6 in folio builder panel

    hi! I can't sign in with indesign CS6 in folio builder panel. what can a i do?? I can sign in from adobe web page, but not from indesign, and the option "updates" from "Help" menu is deactivated

    I found one way to fix it:
    - quit all CS6 apps
    - if in OSX force quit the CS6ServiceManager via Activity Monitor app
    - go to the User Library (hold down option key while accessing the Go menu) and find these:
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS6ServiceManager/preference/csxs3.pref  - move this file out to desktop
    Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db - move this file out to desktop
    zip these up and delete the original, you now have inaccessible copies to put back just in case but have found this unnecessary.
    - Restart Indesign and log in should now hold.
    Found this started to happen after updating to 10.9.2, on a number of our designers machines.

  • My Fonts change when opening an InDesign CS4 file with InDesign CS6

    I've been experiencing strange behaviour when opening a InDesign CS4 file file with InDesign CS6: the kerning and spacing is all off:
    Original file:
    opened in InDesign CS6:
    Is this a conversion error? Is there a setting/pref I've got wrong?

    It's more than a year ago since this issue was reported, but at this time I'd had the same problem when opening a CS4 document in CS6/CC.
    I was amazed that a header, placed in capitals, looked different in CS6/CC. But at last, after several tests, i've came to the conclusion that "forced" capitals behaving different than "real" capitals. In others words: when you forcing text to capitals the kerning would be different in CS6/CC. When you place text in real capitals (Shift + text) the kerning is the same as in both InDesign versions.
    Text in CS4:
    As you can see: in CS4 there's no difference between real capitals en forced capitals.
    Below the results when opening the CS4 file in CS6/CC:
    I'm not sure if there are still people struggling with this problem, but hopefully was is this helpful.    

  • How do I print to a postscript file with InDesign CS6 without both extensions, .indd.ps?

    How do I print to a postscript file without an .indd extension in InDesign CS6? I choose Print, choose a print preset from my print shop and Save. The first time I tried it was blank (the Hide Extension was checked), so I tried to save and got a dialog box that said it cannot be saved as an .indd file (duh), to choose both or .ps. I chose .ps and it was fine, but every time I postscripted it gave me this dialog box until I unchecked Hide Extension. After I did that, every time I postscript it automatically saves both extensions. Not a big deal but it is annoying. I just want it to end with .ps like it used to. Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thanks!!

    I have no idea but I am incredibly curious...why are you doing this?
    Printing to postscript is a completely archaic workflow. Export to PDF
    instead.

  • Help Viewer is an issue with InDesign CS6

    Would anyone happen to know if the Help Viewer is an issue with InDesign CS6? Even with a manual install the Help feature launches without issues the first time and won’t launch after the second time. This is the message we are receiving on Windows 7:

    -Anup.
    YES! It does help.Thank you very much. I changed the setting yesterday but side tracked before I see the online content works. So in general scope, yes it takes me to the online help center, which gives me options for more "community" answers. So yes, thank you for making me look further.
    However, I really was a fan of the local help that looked like and felt like the user manuals produced by Adobe, not just blogs, and more message boards. So I am still partially dismayed that I take the time to download and update the local help files, but can't use them. And wish Adobe would just fix the problem, so I can have immediate access to user manuals without having to surf all over for answers. Perhaps this is a novice thought, but I liked reading it in manual formats provided by the amnufacture of the software.
    Thanks again though for the help and it will just have to get used to this method. UNLESS you can tell me good news of something else I am missing?

  • Can I replace InDesign CS6 with InDesign CS6 ME version?

    Can I replace InDesign CS6 with InDesign CS6 ME version? And does the ME version interface in English or Arabic?
    I have a translator who sends me InDesign files using the Sultan font, but when I open it, a lot of the font shows up as math symbols. I have the correct font installed, but I'm wondering if I need the additional features of the ME version of InDesign to make the type correct on my end.

    I don't believe my CS6 is from a Creative Cloud subscription. It was installed by my IT department, so I will ask them.
    When I receive the files from the translator, they send both an InDesign file and a PDF, so I can see it as they see it. However, the InDesign file looks like this:
    But the PDF file looks like this:
    They sent me the font file, so I'm assuming I have the right font and the issue is on my end. Or perhaps not?
