Minimized files make it difficult to open other files in InDesign CS4

When I minimize a file I 'm working on to the bottom of the screen in InDesign CS4 and try to open another file, the file I'm trying to open minimizes to the bottom also. It took many tries and a lot of frustration to realize I have to drag the minimized tab up to the left corner and drag the corners out to work on it. I get many interruptions during the day, and often like to minimize one project while I need to take care of a quick fix on another project. Is there a setting I'm missing that will correct this? I have not encountered this in previous versions of InDesign.

Well...what do you know?
All I can do is confirm the behavior. The new file isn't minimized but it is at the bottom of the screen.
You might want to file a bug report.

I've never seen it since I prefer the tabs.

Display "Application over 20MB" when I type OK button, the appearance will not go away and make me unable to open other applications, what to do and whether it must be restarted

display "Application over 20MB" when I type OK button, the appearance will not go away and make me unable to open other applications, what to do and whether it must be restarted?

The 20 meg message is the download limit for 3G. If you can't get rid of the 'OK' message then you can do a reset by pressing and holding both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
You should be able to download the apps by switching to wifi on your iPad or downloading them on your computer's iTunes and syncing them or dragging and dropping them over to the iPad device.

You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CS4" because it is not supported on this architecture"

A day or two ago I went through installing Adobe InDesign CS4 on Leopard OS X.5.8. After what appears to be a successful installati
on, in launching InDesign CS4 the message " You can't open the application "Adobe InDesign CS4" because it is not supported on this
architecture" comes up". Calling in to support and speaking with the agent who read through previous posts, suggested to me that I
should try the same fix that has been suggested when I ran across an error when installing Adobe InDesign CS4 on another separate ha
rd drive externally connected to this computer running Snow Leopard OS X.6.1 for the error reading: "Damaged &/or incomplete install
ation" when launching afterwards. The support technician told me to first delete with the uninstall Adobe InDesign CS4, InDesign.
Following this I am told to run the CS4 Cleanup Utility. I restart the computer each and every time after running each of the utili
ties. Now I am told to install InDesign as a trial version from the DVD and after installation to go ahead & enter the serial numbe
r. When launching InDesign CS4 after installation got back the same error as before: "You can't open the application "Adobe InDesig
n CS4" because it is not supported on this architecture" comes up". Followed KB404711 article and no success. What else can be don
e to fix this issue?
This morning contacted Adobe Support regarding this response:
After having a detailed reserach on your issue i acme to the conclusion
that the problem you are having is not related to Adobe software but its
in fact related to your MAC version ( OSX-5.8). While reseraching your
issue i came across
to many forums where a lot of postings were about the similar error but
with different products the only comon thing was all the Errors were
with Mac machine , also when you check the system requirements for
Adobe Indesign Cs4
by going to the following link
http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/systemreqs/?promoid=DRHXE you
will find the Mac OS version supported are from Mac OS X
v10.4.11–10.5.4. but we do support Snow Leoprad , so i would like
to advise to you to either contact your system manufacturer or upgrade
to Snow Leopard ( mac os x 10.6)
I have been told that my case is being sent to Level 2 agents and that it can take 24-48 hours for a response. In the meantime I decided to see what the Support Forums can do for me. Until then I am down. Thanks for the help.

In the application folder there is a folder 'Adobe InDesign CS4' within which there is just the application file. I would expect there should be more file there??
I've un-installed and installed again - still the same.
Even downloaded the dmg again and done thwe whole thing over again.

CS4 "You cannot open the application Adobe InDesign CS4 because it is not supported on this archit

Just installed CS4. Ai and Ps open fine. i get this prompt with InDesign.
You cannot open the application Adobe InDesign CS4 because it is not supported on this architecture.
any clues on how resolve this?
thanks!

I'm having exactly the same problem with InDesign from CS4 Design Standard (Photoshop and Illustrator both work), and I don't know what to do. I've called up the Adobe support line five times, and received five different answers, none of which have worked (and on three other occasions, my call was dropped, once after an hour on hold).
One of the Adobe tech support people said to me "None of CS4 works with either 10.5.8 or Snow Leopard. We will issue a patch for that soon" - which directly contradicts what Adobe itself says on this site. I also went to see a Mac Genius, who couldn't help either.
I have a 2GHz Macbook with 2GB RAM running 10.5.8. I've run the uninstall, and the Adobe Clean Script, I've repaired permissions on my drive (which isn't case sensitive), restarted, reinstalled, tried installing on an external drive and then tried downloading the trial, in case it's the install CD - nothing works.
Any suggestions, anyone? Might there be a problem with my library that is stopping the install? Something else?? I bought CS4 for InDesign primarily, this is not good.

On Illustrator CS6 (Mac OS) how can I keep an open file minimized when opening other files?

I work with several files at a time and it can become annoying when you open several files and a minimized file keeps opening after each one. I don't want to have it open in the background, I just want it to stay minimized until I'm ready to work with it.
Thanks in advance

Hi Lytle,
Let me clarify few more things here. There is an option Window>Arrange>Float in Window / Float All in Windows. You can use this option to float all your documents i.e. make them in separate document window. Now you can minimize these individual windows. But, when you open any more document your last active document window will come into focus. To avoid disturbing minimized state of other documents you can keep a blank document floating and before opening any document make it active and then open any new document. This is a kind of workaround to get rid of this issue.
Hope it helps!
Thanks!

Need to publish PHP files and be able to "open other movie"

I am hoping someone can help me. I converted my published
captivate projects to PHP per request of my company web team. In
most projects, I link to an addional project using the On success:
"Open other project" command. All projects are .cp files and this
feature has always worked in the past when published and uploaded
my projects as .htm. I can still upload my files as .php with the
.swf file and opening a project from my web page works fine.
However, when I click the link at the end of one project to open
the next, I recieve an error stating the file cannot be found.
Consequently, the file it is looking for is the .htm and I cannot
figure out a way for it to look for the .php file. Because of
company standards, I cannot simply upload all files (.php, .swf,
.htm) as a work around. Does anyone have a procedure to make
Captivate "call" the .php file extention when linking a project
instead of the .htm?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Welcome to our community, Especial del Dia
You might try using the approach of "Open URL or File". Then
point to the URL of the PHP page instead.
I think if I were in your shoes, I'd arrange a meeting with
the web team and see if you can figure out why HTM/SWF are bad and
things MUST be PHP or die. You may just find that after you explain
all the extra effort and time wasted in attempting to be compliant
with what is often some IT person's whim and mandate, things will
change and you will be allowed to publish what has always worked
until IT wanted to change things and break it and point their
fingers at you.
Just thinking out loud... Rick

Links in Pages document to open other files in same folder

Hi, In Microsoft Word on my PC I can put links in a Word doc to photos, PDFs and other files that sit in the same folder as the Word doc. Can I do the same in Pages on my Mac, and if so how please?
I'm using Pages 5.2 in Mavericks.
Thanks,
Neil

Just because you can do these things in MS Word, is no assurance that you can do them in Pages, which is not an MS Word clone.
Pages v5(.2) only supports links to Web pages and Email.
Pages ’09 v4+ supports links to another Pages ’09 document, Web page, Email, or internal Bookmark.

Linking to a MS word file in Safari does not open the file

I access a web site that has hyperlinks to MS Word files. When I click on the link the following happens.
1. I get a new empty window
2. I get the download window showing the file
But the file does not load in Word.
I have to manually click on the file to load it into word.
When I access the same page with Firefox,and click on the hyperlink the Word file loads into Word with no action required by me.
Is this they way Safari works or is there some preference I can set to make it load the file into Word?
Safari does open pdf files fine.

1. I get a new empty window
2. I get the download window showing the file
This is normal for a site that has the Word files links set up to open in a new page. (Which is almost necessary in Windows IE, since IE will open the Word doc in the same browser window otherwise, losing all web site navigation.) But Safari doesn't open Word files directly, so you get that blank new window while the file downloads in the background.
But the file does not load in Word.
What do you have in Safari > Preferences, in the General section, for "Open safe files after downloading"? If you have that box checked, files that the Mac OS considers "safe" (JPEGs, PDF files, etc.) will open automatically in the default program for that type of file. The only question is whether Word documents are considered safe. They might not be, since they can carry macro viruses. Checking now...
I tested that, and it seems that Word files are not considered "safe" files and will not open automatically with that setting checked. The alternative: when the downloads window opens, it shows the file you just downloaded. You can double-click on the Word file's icon to open it in Word, without navigating to the downloaded file on your hard drive to open it.

Passing files into labview vi by opening the file

I have a labview exe that is installed on XP that can create/save files with an extension not recognized by windows. The files can be opened from within the exe but what I want is to double click(open) the file from explorer/desktop and have it opened in my vi. I know how to associate the file with windows so opening it will open the exe, but how do I pass this argument into my exe so my app can use it?

Us the "Application:command line" property, see attached code image.
When building the application, make sure to check "Pass all command line arguments to application" in the builder.
When your associated file is double-clicked, the application will open and have the file name of the double-clicked file as second element (#1) in the commandline array. (You can also drop any file on the application in explorer and it will open with the dropped file name in that position.)
Also check the online help under index: "Command Line Arguments (Application property)"

When I download a .pdf file using mozilla, I cannot open that file despite having adobe reader on my desktop. I cannot save the file to open at a later time

I wished to view a .pdf file of a vehicle brochure. Mozilla found the brochure ok, but would not let me view it or save it. I ended up having to use IE to download and then view the file. How do I enable Mozilla to allow me to view .pdf files< I have Adobe Reader 9 installed on my PC (using Dell and Window 7)

File Type Association fails when opening multiple files from Bridge to Premiere

I'm running Vista 32 bit CS3 Bridge and Premiere.
According to the Video workshop
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter-archive/video_workshop/
under Premiere > all 19 topics > Managing Media in Adobe Premiere Pro > at 02:46 it shows group selecting a bunch of quicktime files using Edit > Select all, then File > Open With ...the drop down shows Premiere.
Mine only show Premiere if a single file is selected. If I multiple select, it only shows Quicktime Player 7.6.
I've checked the file type association in preferences of Bridge to open these files in Premiere but it still only sees Premiere if a single file is selected.
I've upgraded Bridge to 2.1.1.9 and set to run as Administrator but to no avail.
Any ideas?

Import has always worked fine. this is not the issue.
I have now changed the file association in Vista, re-started Premiere and Bridge and then after having started just Premiere chose File > Browse and the selected all the .mov files and selected Open With. Hurrah! Premiere is now listed!
However, If I continue the focus changes to Premiere but a warning appears "This file path does not exist on disk at this location".
Nothing is imported. Unlike the video workshop mentioned above.
If however, I chose Open and not Open with then the files are imported.
Seems to be a bug with Open with with more than one file chosen. If a single file is chosen and Open With is applied then the focus changes to Premiere but no file is imported.
I have seen the exact same problem in another discusion "Re: Bridge CS3: Not importing clips into Premiere CS3" (see the More Like This panel on the rightside of this window)

How to open Photoshop files as layers in an open Illustrator file?

Hi there,
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but right now I'm working with both Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 on a mac. I'm creating a graphic. The background is a (cartoonish) mouth and I finished it a couple of days ago. (It's an Illustrator file.) I've been working on the letters to go inside of the mouth, (Once I'm finished it'll look as though they're being crushed.) I scanned and edited small wooden letters in Photoshop, and now I would like to work with them with the background in Illustrator. I understand how to open a Photoshop file in Illustrator, but I don't want to open the document as a separate Illustrator file. Is there a way to open a file from Photoshop as a second layer?
Some of the letters repeat as well. Will I have to create two files for this, or can I open the same file twice?
Thanks! VA

Simply copy&paste the stuff to the worjking document. You are over-thinking this.

Opening Word docs in InDesign CS4 (Mac)

Hello everyone.
This is my first time asking for help from this forum.
I have just upgraded to CS4 from CS2 (Mac) and I have been having numerous issues with Word and InDesign. When I try downloading a fairly complicated Word file into InDesign CS4 it crashes. But, if I open it in InDesign CS2, it opens fine. I then take the ID CS2 file and reopen it in InDesign CS4 and it works. Though this maybe a good workaround, it isn't something I can be doing all the time, its way too time consuming. Does anyone have an idea what the problem is? Or, what I can do about it?
As a note: I have also just upgraded my systems to Mac Pros and iMacs with Leopard on it.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. I am placing the file.
I'll try posting this to the ID forum.
Thanks for the quick response.

Thanks for the info. I have had this file opened in lower versions of CS with no issues. It seems like every few files this is happening to. All my current systems have two gigs of Ram.
I was suspecting (dreading) that it may be a font conflict. I know the system fonts (dfonts) have been somewhat an issue in previous versions of CS, but I never had crashes to InDesign before because of font conflicts. I will try sorting through my fonts and breaking-up the file.
Thanks again for your guys help. I'll let you know if I find anything out.
