Periodic failure to echo typed characters in CS2/CS3 InCopy & InDesign

Hi All,
When typing in InCopy the key struck is normally displayed immediately. However, periodically, entered keys are not displayed for a couple of seconds then appear altogether. After that entered text appears normally for a few seconds then the cycle repeats with a few seconds worth of entered keys not displaying then suddenly displaying all at once. Typically I get about 10 seconds of normal response followed by 2-3 seconds of no response as a repeating cycle. Data is not being lost but its display is being delayed. This has also been seen with InDesign CS2
Because of the regularity of this phenomenon I'm wondering if I've unwittingly turned on some feature of InCopy which runs periodically at high priority. Does anyone know of such a feature and how I can turn it off?
Thanks in advance
Paul Strickland

Those machines are ancient in computer terms and what you're seeing is
exactly what I'd expect to see.
There's an earlier thread about the same thing.
Sorry I don't have more to offer but you need to keep in mind that
InCopy needs to do the same operations as far as screen redraw that
InDesign needs.
The only advice I can offer is to edit using the story or galley view.

Hello, I am trying to place a file typed in Japanese in to an Indesign CS2 page.

Hello, I am trying to place a file typed in Japanese in to an Indesign CS2 page. The original text is a Microsoft Word file.
When it is saved as a .pdf, I am not able to do anything with it. I use a MAC running on Tiger 10.4.11.
I need it for an insert in a CD.
Any help on this?
thank you very much.

Ah -- you are placing the PDF, right? Use the Word file instead. A PDF file is not a text file, so you get it as an image.

If it is not a drive problem, maybe it is a runaway application. This article shows how to use Activity Monitor to check for that:

Missing key preview when typing characters in IPad After iOS7 upgrade

How can I enable the key preview when typing characters in Ipad?
After I upgraded my Ipad mini to IOS 7, the preview when hitting keys are not showing anymore.
Its so difficult especially when typing passwords wherein you wouldnt be able to know if you are hitting the right character.

Two things that might help. Reset all your settings and reset the phone. Use the Settings app to reset all settings. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that helps.
The update to iOS 7 added several new features and turned them all on. There are numerous suggestions for reducing battery life by turning off unneeded features. Go through Settings and turn off things you do not need or use. Especially look at Notifications, Push notices, Background App Refresh.

Manage multiple versions(ID CS,CS2,CS3,CS4) of INDD files Indesign proxy for PC

Dear scripters,
I have multiple version of ID installed in my system. I have ID CS,CS2,CS3 and CS4. While I am opening (double click) the ID CS file, automatically the file opening in CS4. For solving this problem I have searched in the forums I found there is a program called INDESIGN PROXY for MAC OSX. It manages the problems well.
Now I am in the process of developing the application same like that for windows using VB. Here is my observation about Indesign proxy.
1. While user double clicks the Indesign file the argument is not passing to the Indesign.exe, but the argument passes to the Indesign proxy. Something like this
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS4\InDesign.exe" "%1"
to this
"C:\Program Files\IDproxy\proxy.exe" "%1"
2. The proxy exe lists all the version of IDs in a dialog box. If user selects CS2, the proxy exe passes the command argument something like this
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS2\InDesign.exe" "%1"
3. Now the file will open in correct version.
I am comfort with VB forums and coding but I am struck getting the file path while user double click's the file. I short need to get the file path of "%1" argument.
I think I am detailed.
Kindly advice me how can I proceed more?
Thanks
regards

I don't think it's a mistake.
"InDesign CS4 (3.0)"
means: this is the OM for InDesign 3.0 (i.e., InDesign CS) that is contained in InDesign CS4.
Wait -- do you mean there might be a difference between "the OM for InDesign 4.0 (i.e., InDesign CS2) that is contained in InDesign CS4" and, say, "OM for InDesign 4.0 (i.e., InDesign CS2) that is contained in InDesign CS5" ?
Why on earth would anyone need that? I imagine it's not because even with versioning the 'older' scripts may not behave the same -- there must be dozens of mails about versioning not working ... I mean, if Adobe knows what causes older scripts to stop working (because, if I understand you correctly, they retroactively change it in the documentation for older versions), wouldn't it be yet easier to not cause those changes?

I bought the photoshop cs2 cs3 cs5 and lightroom and lightroom 4. i can't install on may new macbookpro 13inch?

i bought the photoshop cs2 cs3 cs5 and lightroom and lightroom 4. i can't install on may new macbookpro 13inch?

On which operating system are you trying to install these Adobe apps?
Please specify the operating system name and version.
If you have purchased new Macbook Pro, then you should have atleast Mac OSX 10.9 or later. However, i doubt you will be able to install most of these apps on it as they are pretty old apps except CS5 & Lr4.
Still you can give it a shot and check.
What happens when you try to install them?
Do you get any error message? An error screenshot or full text of the error, should be helpful.

CS2/CS3/CS4: Cannot get file path in Unicode of the current document on Windows

Hi All,
In my automation plugin I need to have full absolute path of the opened document with any possible non-English letters. Using SDK examples Listener and Getter that come with Photoshop SDK the full absolute path which I obtain is in the default ANSI code page (CP_ACP) and I can convert it to Unicode using MultiByteToWideChar() API. However this works well when I have corresponding to document name language set in the "Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Advanced -> Select a language to match the language version of the non-Unicode programs you want to use." For example if name of the document has Russian letters and chosen language in "Regional and Language Options" is also Russian the described conversion works well. If I change "Regional and Language Options" to English for example, full path returned by Photoshop SDK API (AliasToFullPath in PIUFile.cpp) for the document with Russian letters will contain "????????.psd" symbols.
So I need to have an ability to get absolute file path in Unicode. Is it possible in Photoshop CS2/CS3/CS4 for Windows? I have searched forum and SDK but could not find info on it.
Is it possible to have native HANDLE of the opened file to get file info using Windows API?
Please advice.
Below given slightly modified code from Photoshop CS3 which I use to get absolute file pat of the opened document.
Thanks and regards,
Sergey
std::string outFilePath;
int32 theID = 0;
SPErr error = kSPNoError;
error = PIUGetInfo(classDocument, keyDocumentID, &theID, NULL);
if (error == kSPNoError)
Handle theFileHandle = NULL;
error = PIUGetInfoByID(theID, classDocument, keyFileReference, &theFileHandle, NULL);
if (error == kSPNoError)
int32 length = sPSHandle->GetSize(theFileHandle);
Boolean oldLock = FALSE;
Ptr pointer = NULL;
sPSHandle->SetLock(theFileHandle, true, &pointer, &oldLock);
if (pointer != NULL)
outFilePath = (char*)pointer;
sPSHandle->SetLock(theFileHandle, oldLock, &pointer, &oldLock);

Hi All,
Does anybody know, whether it is possible to get Unicode file path of the current document in Photoshop via Photoshop SDK API or without them?
Thanks,
Serhiy

Need to Uninstall CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 - Uninstall Tool Missing

We've been with Adobe for a long time.
We're upgrading computers and Mac OS on all to Mavericks.
Would like to clean up in the process.
Would like to thoroughly UNINSTALL all CS, CS2, CS3, and CS4 products on all computers.
We are currently using CS5. And, after installing Mavericks, will install CS6 Design Standard.
Most threads point to using the UNINSTALL TOOL ... but no one seems to have a link to where to get it?
It is not in the folders that everyone says it should be. I do not have it.
I hesitate to just DRAG the folders to the trash. I'd prefer a tool that will UNINSTALL proper plists, etc. ... not just trash the AP folder.
Anyone?

I have already been there.
1. In my Adobe Installers folder, there are only alias' folders for "Add or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium", for "Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium", for "Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium" and for "Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit 2.1". When I "Show Original" and go there and try to OPEN the folder to run the uninstaller ... nothing opens. When I search for "Adobe Uninstaller", nothing is found.
2. I have downloaded and run the Cleaner Tool for CS3 and 4 ... but it was very very fast (didn't see a progress bar while it was working as expected) and CS3 and 4 are still in my applications folder. There was a message on one of them something about "support file missing".
So, this doesn't seem to have worked ... again.
In our office, we used to "trickle down" computers. The person with the oldest computer gets the new on and his goes to someone else. The problem with this has been that the person giving away the computer has been required to "clean it up" before passing it on and people haven't known HOW to do this. Thus, the missing uninstallers, etc.
So ... I want to delete (thoroughly) CS, CS2, CS3 and CS4, including Bridge, Device Central, Extension Manager, Drive, Fireworks, Flash, Media Encoder, Stock Photos, Version Cue, SupportAdvisor ap.
Can I simply "drag to trash"? I suspect not. But unistallers don't seem to be present and cleaner tool doesn't seem to work.
Are the instructions for "manual" removal of all files?
Thank you.

Indesign CS2 mit InCopy CS2 stürzt immer wieder ab.

Hallo,
arbeite seit ca. 2 Monaten im Indesign CS2 und InCopy CS2, immer öfter passiert mir, dass ich Texte vom In Copy trenne und so wie ich dann das Indesign Dokument speichere stürzt das Programm ab und das Dokument lässt sich nicht mehr öffnen. Hat vielleicht jemand Erfahrung damit oder eine Lösung?
Danke
Georg Plant

Tut mir leid, dass meine Informationen für Sie widersprüchlich sind aber leider bin ich am verzweifeln wie wir zurzeit arbeiten und dies ist für mich leider nicht einfach.
Wir arbeiten selbstverständlich mit InDesign CS2 (4.0.1 Version), dass ich eine manuelle Exportformat Änderung gemacht hätte habe ich nie geschrieben.
Mein größtes Problem ist, dass ich mit dem Redaktionssystem Smart Connection und InCopy CS2 arbeite und ich nicht verstehe wieso diese neue Version so unstabil ist. Habe bereits mit der vorherigen Version (InDesign 2.0.2 und InCopy 2.0.1) gearbeitet und damit hatte ich keine Probleme.
Wenn ich von InDesign CS2 normale Dokumente (mit keiner InCopy CS2 und Smart Connection Verlinkung) über meinen Server speichere erzeugt er mir INCX Dateien (und mit diesen Dateien gibt es keine Probleme) aber wenn ich über Smart Connection speichere (und dies ist die Verknüpfung zum Redaktionssystem InCopy CS2) erzeugt er mir INDD Dokumente.
Diese Dokumente führen häufig zu abstürze die sich dann nicht mehr öffnen lassen und dies passiert hauptsächlich wenn wir in voller Produktion sind und die Auslastung der Dokumente ziemlich hoch ist.
Bei unserer Wöchentlichen Zeitschriftenproduktion machen wir währen der Arbeit Kopien und nochmals Kopien, damit wenn ein Dokument kaputt geht nicht alles vom neuen gemacht werden muss aber leider ist dieser Aufwand sehr mühsam und zum zweiten haben wir ja in der neuen Softwear investiert und Verbesserungen zu erreichen und nicht Verschlechterungen
Ich hoffe Sie können mich verstehen welcher Wirtschaftliche schaden dies für uns ist wenn man so unstabil Woche für Woche arbeiten muss es ist leider fast nicht mehr ertragbar.
In der Hoffnung Ihnen jetzt eine aufschlussreiche Erklärung gegeben zu haben verbleibe ich mit freundlichen Grüßen
Georg Plant

InCopy CS2 Copyfitting with InDesign CS3, Version Cue CS3

Hello. We are using InCopy CS2 together with InDesign CS3 as part of an Version Cue CS3 workflow. Certain stories do not copyfit exactly in InCopy CS2. They copyfit properly in InDesign CS3, but when the assignment with these stories is opened in InCopy CS2, the copyfit is close, but not perfect. We never had this problem when we were using InDesign CS2.
Has anyone seen this problem; can anyone suggest a workaround? (Incidentally, The copyfit looks just fine when we open the file in InCopy CS3; but we are NOT using InCopy CS3, because it causes synchronization problems - it reports that files are open, when they are not. )
Thanks for your help - Chris

The text engines have changed from CS2 to CS3 and again with CS4.
There's no way to get an accurate copy fit using a different version of InCopy than InDesign.

Adobe Products CS, CS2 & CS3

Can anyone confirm that these products install and work properly. I really want to upgrade but it's not an option if these programs don't work.

Adobe just released a paper on this topic, it discusses their latest releases...
"Adobe Photoshop CS3, Flash CS3 Professional, Contribute CS3, Dreamweaver CS3, Fireworks CS3, Flash Player 9, GoLive 9, Illustrator CS3, InCopy CS3, InDesign CS3, Bridge CS3, Version Cue CS3, Device Central CS3 and Acrobat Connect (Start Meeting) are all compatible with Leopard.
Older versions of Adobe and Macromedia may work with Leopard, but the company warns there could be “installation, stability, and reliability issues for which there is no resolution.” Adobe said these products would not be updated for Leopard."
*Sure would like info on CS & CS2 Photoshop/Illustrator*

CS, CS2 & CS3 place problem

Hi,
I was just wondering if someone could help me with the following problem:
All l'm doing is placing a text file into a text frame - sounds easy - test code below:
======
set boxContent to "HDPropane:textfile.txt"
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
    activate
    set MyDocument to active document
    try
        set myframe to (text frame 1 of MyDocument whose label is "testbox")
        «event K2 plac» (boxContent) with «class rtfo» without «class imot» given «class insh»:myframe
    on error emg
        display dialog emg
    end try
end tell
========
This works OK and will overwrite the contents each time... the problem is when you link the text frame to another text frame.... it still works fine if you run the script without having any contents in your text frames but as soon as you have some contents you get an error 'import failed' I get the same problem in CS, CS2 & CS3
I've even tried after the 'set myframe' adding set myframe contents to "" - adding this line was a little hit and miss sometimes it worked sometimes l got the same import failed message.
Regards, Gary.

Change this:
        set myframe to (text frame 1 of MyDocument whose label is "testbox")
        «event K2 plac» (boxContent) with «class rtfo» without «class imot» given «class insh»:myframe
to something like this:
        set myframe to (text frame 1 of MyDocument whose label is "testbox")
        set contents of parent story of myFrame to ""
        place file boxContent on myframe without showing options

All copies illustrator crash, cs2 cs3 cs4 Leopard 10.5.8 powermac 1.8 dual

I crashes every time i open it. it suddenly started happening. i could get just past the opening pane at first allowing me to choose what kind of document to open print rgb etc, the it stopped doing that. i get the opening pane the it crashes, it aslo happens in past copies cs2 cs3 cs4 non of my illustrator copies will open

It could be an issue with your font caches. Go get fontnuke and try deleting all your system and application font caches.
It doesn't sound like a preference issue if it's affecting all the other versions. Do you have the suite installed? Is Photoshop working properly?

Problem batch processing in CS2, CS3 and CS4e

I have all the above named programs and have tried unsuccessfully to get the batch process to work. I currently run it in CS with no problems. We want to upgrade to CS5e and actually be able to use it to process our web gifs without constantly going back to the old version.
I have an action set up with the following steps:
Start Record
Open File
Save for Web - Set Width to 150 pixels - Apply - Save (I select a folder called 150)
I repeat process for a 300 pixel image.
Close the file
Stop record.
Go to batch process:
Choose Action
Select Source Folder
Override Action "Open" Command is checked
Choose Destination Folder (150 from above)
I select OK.
This runs fine in PS CS and no matter how many files I have in the source I end of with the same number in both the 150 and 300 folder I have created, named correctly and in the correct 150 or 300 pixel width I need as gif files.
I repeat the same procedure in CS2, CS3 or CS4e and all I get is a folder with one image in it when done. the batch runs and you can see it opening files but it just constantly overwrites the original file.
I have tried to check other boxes such as the Override Action Save As Command and other things I have found on these forums but nothing is working.
I even called Adobe and was on the phone for 99 minutes and let them view my desktop while I ran the procedure in both PS CS and PS CS4e and they were stumped. I was told they would pass it on to supervisors and someone would call me back. I called back after a week since I had not heard from anyone and was told my call was recorded as a mis-dircted call and they had no record.
If someone could please help I would really appreciate it. I have spent the last three evenings combing websites and watching videos to no avail.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but I have checked all those and am using the same settings from program to program without success. It always work
