Need native InDesign file viewer for Windows

We are evaluating the usage of InDesign as a layout programm for web sites. At the moment we do create our mock ups using Photoshop.
A great thing about that: At least the flattened photoshop layout can be viewed by everybody in our company.
Now - as we do have .indd files there is a desire to have a look on the work results without having a full copy of InDesign installed!
At least for Mac there is http://www.code-line.com/software/sneakpeekpro/
But we still need a file viewer für native InDesign files on Windows!
Any suggestions?

1. You can change the preview size of your documents in Preferences -- it's under File Handling. Other than most of the preferences, this is a system-wide setting, so you don't have to change it per document. Opening, then forcing a file to save (you have to change something or use Save As) will update the previews in the file. I've read that CS5 allows you to save a preview of more than the first spread.
2. http://www.jongware.com/binaries/extractIdThumbnails.zip (Windows) -- drop an InDesign file on this, and it will extract the preview (or previews) into the same folder the file came from. Only works, of course, if there *are* previews in that file. Seems to work fine with CS4, I only have one or two CS3 / CS5 files to test with and it theoretically *should* work with those as well.
This doesn't bring the count of InDesign viewers to '1', though. The file format of InDesign is WAY too complicated to make a 'real' file viewer.
... How about Bridge? Did you try that?

How do I make type with effects appear the same in a .pdf as it does in the native InDesign file?

The type I am referring to is the words "What to do next" above.
On the left is what they look like in the native InDesign CS5 file they were created in. This is how I would like them to appear.
On the right is how they appear when I try to save the brochue as a .pdf.
My question is how can I get the words "What to do Next" to appear the same in the .pdf as they do in the native InDesign file?
Thanks for your help!

Effects are usually using some type of blending mode - you should preview your InDesign file using View>Overprint Preview
That will show you what they look like when they blend with the background.

Placing native Indesign files - rich black

Guys,
I've been moving over to placing Indesign files for the adverts I have created into my magazine layout rather than exporting to PDF and placing them.
However, to my horror, I have discovered that if you do this indesign will output overprinting 100% black as rich black.
Why does it do this? Can I stop it?
If I take the advert file and place it, the black is rich, if I export the exact same indesign file as PDF and place that then the black stays 100% overprinting.

Confirmed!
The lesson here is when you are importing native InDesign files into InDesign, you must ensure the working spaces are the same, or convert policy as above.
Thanks guys.

Do I need to create a view for this?

Hi Ihave got 2 tables emp and project
In emp tabe:
emp_no
family name
given name
In porgect table:
emp_no
status(assigned,unassigned)
start_date
end_date
emp_no Family_name given_name
1 Smith John
In project table same employee can have many assigement eg
emp_no status start_date end_date
1 assigned 01-may-08 01-july-08
1 assigned 01-sep-08 01-july-09
1 unassigned 01-july-09 01-oct-09
In the form:
there are 2 querable fields "project ends between field1(date) and field2(date)" which is used to
retrive records which have end date between field1 and field2.
The following fields are needed to get from database:
emp.family_name emp.given_name project.start_date project.end_date No.of time assigned
Requirements:
1. project.start_date and project.end_date must be the latest project_end_date for the same emp
so in the above sample date
2. No. of time assigned is a count of total of number records which have status='assign'
So for the given sample data the record expected after query would be(field1=01-jun-08 field2=02-july-09)
emp.family_name emp.given_name project.start_date project.end_date No.of time assigned
Smith John 01-sep-08 01-july-09 2
What is the best approach to get:
1 The lastest project(latest end_date) for the emp
2. get No.of time assigned.
Do I need to create a view for this? If yes, any sample sql code this this?
Thanks for your help

Hi W1zard,
Thanks for your reply. Could you clarify the following points for me:
1.) you could create a master block basing on your emp table and a detail block basing on your project table with the relation over emp_no. set the default_where clause of your detail block programmatically using
set_block_property('project', default_where, 'status = ''assigned'' and <your_date_criteria>');
Q1: where I pit this code? in pre-query trigger in detail block?
2.) Of course you could create a view to join both of your tables if you don't want to use master detail blocks; Also do the join over emp_no
create or replace force view v_emp as
select emp.family_name, emp.given_name, project.start_date, project.end_date
from emp, project
where emp.emp_no = project.emp_no
Q2 As I mentioned before, there are multipal entries for the same emp in project table and we only need the maching record from project table which has latest end_date. So I think I need something like
max(project.end_date) somewhere in create view to make sure only one record for one employee.
Also is there possible to include the no. of assigned field(select count(*) from project where status='assigned' and emp=emp_no) into the view as well?
Q3 All the fields mentioned above are diaplay-only. So Can I create a control block which has all the fields from emp and project. Then populate them with my sql. The question is
where I put this customerised sql so when user click excute query. My sql will run and display one the form?
REally appreciated your help!

MacBook Air, can I partition my Mac external drive to have an ISO image file location for Windows downloads?

Keynote viewer for Windows

Although I am an Mac user I defend that Apple should think in build a Windows version of iWorks. But if this is not possible a Keynote viewer for windows is an urgent must.
Thank you

Ask the same thing recently to Apple feedback, Keynote is fantastic but it is a nightmare when making a presentation for PC, either Keynote for windows or right at least a reader, otherwise Keynote will loose interest except for my own stuff

How can I control that it becomes Ipad version who will open the windows and Andoid viewer?

We have a enterprise app with custom store front
How do we solve it

I have Creative Suite 6 Production Premium and InDesign CS5.5 for Windows, but I need the Mac versions of these. Is it possible to swap or exchange these products?

Does Adobe allow exchanging my Windows version of CS6 Production Premium and InDesign CS5.5 for the Mac version? (The CS5.5 box is unopened, and the CS6 is in mint condition.)

You might be able to do something for the CS6 product, but as far as the CS5.5 application goes it will not qualify. See the following:

WinHelp viewer for Windows 7

Just in case anyone may need it, Microsoft have released a viewer for WinHelp files under Windows 7. Click here to download it.
Read the RoboColum(n) for a tips, tricks and musings on the Technical Communication Suite products.
Follow the RoboColum(n).

Well, I have the Adobe Cloud subscription which includes InDesign, so installing the Adobe Content Viewer is not a problem.
All I really want to know is if you can use touch controls to navigate in Adobe Contnet Viewer on the MS Surface. It could be unlikely but as Neil said above, it might magicly work : )
The reason I am looking at the Surface is because I thought it would be a good portfolio/presentation device to show to clients in a tablet form that could also show Flash which most tablets can't.
If it could show Adobe Content Viewer folios that I have already created for the iPad and utilize touch controls, that would be the best solution.

Nothing. i get a prompt saying "the feature you are trying to use is on a resource that is unavailable." and then it goes on to say.. "Click ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'quicktime.msi' in the box below." and it already has two diffrent paths located in the entry box and i have tried them both and it keeps giving me the same message as i posted above. i am so lost and it dont help that i dont really know a whole lot about computers. i am stuck between a rock and a hard place.any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing QuickTime again. Does the install go through properly this time?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Oracle 11g on Unix server needs to write files (.csv) on Windows server

Hi,
Currently we are using Oracle 10g which is installed on a Unix server and on the same server there is a directory under which some files are being exported/downloaded by the db.
We are having DEDICATED DB INSTANCE on the SHARED server, and not a DEDICATED SERVER.
Now we need to migrate from Oracle 10g to 11g, but due to some complaince issue, we have been asked to create those directories on some other server. We have identified a Windows server and can create directories.
Now I request any expert to pls suggest/guide me that how can the db (on Unix server) export/write files on another Windows server?
I read in a thread that the server (where files should be exported) should be MOUNTED on the server where db is physically installed.
Pls help me here.....

How is the process on the local server suppose to deal with errors when it attempts to create a CSV file on the remote server? Or deal with network bottlenecks that results in severe performance degradation when trying to create a CSV file? Or if there lacks freespace for creating the CSV file?
What about security? How is the local Oracle server to authenticate itself with the remote server? How is the remote server to protect that directory share against unauthorised access?
How is this remote server going to provide access to authorised s/w to these CSV files?
Who (local or remote processes) is going to manage this directory share and ensure old CSV files are deleted and that there is sufficient freespace for new CSV files?
There are a LOT of questions that need to be asked... BEFORE deciding on HOW technically to do it. As the technical decision will be based on the functional requirements and how to best meet these.
Technically - there is Samba, NFS, FTP, SFTP, SCP, RDIST and a number of other methods that can be used. But without asking the above questions and getting proper business answers, selecting a specific technical method is very much premature.
You are asking the wrong questions, and in the wrong forum. You need to determine the business requirements first.
