Preflight panel issues. still.

CS4 6.03. MAC.
When I turn on preflight on it continuously checks the entire document. The list goes grey to black every 2 seconds (see attached screen grabs) and while it's grey, I can't choose anything because it's "checking". I'm assuming it's constantly updating the info but it's really, really annoying that it does this every 2 seconds. Is there a way to stop this from happening?
It does the same thing on both my custom setting and the basic one.
How do I stop it from continuously checking the entire document every 2 seconds. Is there a timer setting I can change somewhere?
Is this just a software glitch?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I could just leave it off, but that still doesn't solve the problem. Plus, while I'm checking each error, I have to wait for it to stop checking before I can even click on the item. The flashing thing is super annoying.
Also, I'm currently working on a 4 page document but If I have one that is 20+ it could take forever to "check" the file, thus having longer than 2 second intervols where I can click on a item.
Does this make sense? It's very frustrating. I can't believe no one else has seen this issue.
Again, thanks for keeping on this issue. I really appreciate it.

Preflight panel Info. shows my placed 300 ppi PDFs at much less effective resolution

Ï'm brand new to InDesign (graphic designer who primarily works in Illustrator, some Photoshop, until now). I understand resolution and PPI but not necessarily in-depth knowledge of the related necessary workflow needed within InDesign, if that makes sense. I've spent hours and hours the last couple days trying to learn the finer points of InDesign as I work on an ad magazine for my company, but I can't for the life of me figure this particular issue out, and I'm guessing (hoping!) it's a very simple solution.
I placed several 300 PPI PDF images in the magazine document (vector PDF's I created in Illustrator, saved as editable PDF's).
I created a Preflight Panel in InDesign with a custom Profile, named it Print Ready, and set image resolution to 250 to ensure as I finish up this magazine design that things are press/print ready. It now shows 5 images with Image resolutions lower than the 250 minimum - all of the pdfs I placed. They all show very low PPI, 74, 109, etc. The 300 PPI pdfs were already sized to the exact proportions they needed to be in the InDesign file and for print, so there was very minimal scaling to fit the images into their frames, so I'm assuming scaling couldn't have created this issue and it has something to do with my workflow and the way I'm bringing them in.
I'd like to point out that this magazine document was created by another designer, and I'm picking up where they've left off, adding some final images and copy. The other picture images she had in the file appear fine, no errors in Preflight Panel...even some preview stock photo's with the X's across them that appear to be very low resolution (we haven't purchased them and replaced them yet in this InDesign file), so not sure I understand why those are not showing up in my Image Resolution as errors??
Anyhow, at some point I came across the Document Presets, which is currently set to Default - and when I click Define, I noticed it shows the PPI at 72. Does this mean that files I place are "brought in" at 72 PPI, regardless if their original PPI is higher? And if so, how do I change that?
If not, how do resolve or correct?
Sorry for the very long explanation - just want to give as many details as I can, since I'm not exactly sure which details are important to figuring out the problem. Thanks in advance!!

I've checked the resolution in Photoshop just as a double-check and it shows resolution as 300 PPI. When you say "because they can be mixed" do you mean because elements and graphics with the PDF can be of varying resolutions? I hadn't thought of that, if that's what you meant. I do have some items within my pdf that might be lower resolution.
If these show up in my Preflight Panel as an issue, does this mean they would be flagged also with the Printer? In trying to find a resolution I read several forum discussions about how Printers often run your document through a Preflight process and will send it back when there are low resolution images in the document.
Is there some other way to be sure these images are in the InDesign document as 300 PPI so I can know they will in fact print correctly?
PS - Peter - thanks for the super quick response! And I saw your the highlighted "Exceptional Contributor" on the right sidebar for the InDesign forum - clearly well-deserved! Congrats

Preflight panel not displaying / broken

The Preflight panel will not display. Invoking it from the main menu (Window > Output > Preflight), or the bottom of the document window or via the keyboard shortcut - none of them work - the preflight panel appears for the briefest moment and then disappears. No other part of the interface appears to be broken or behave the same way.
System
Mac OS 10.6.8, InDesign CC version 9 and Indesign CC version 9.1
Previous versions:
Exact same behaviour in CS6 (8.0.1)
Works fine in CS5.5 (v7.5.3)
Steps taken to troubleshoot:
Replicated the problem in a Mac OS X guest account.
Replicated the problem after resetting the preferences (as described in Troubleshooting 101 post: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990?start=160&tstart=0 )
Tried disabling preflight (via bottom-of-document preflight menu). Tried creating new profiles.
Deleted / reinstalled the preflight profiles?
Not sure how I might do this, but it has occured to me this might be worth pursuing.
Using non-standard preflight profiles ?
No, using the supplied preflight profile.
Any troubleshooting advice appreciated...

All of a sudden I have this right now. Preflight and conditional text panels empty. Preferences already trashed - no change. Seems to me like a damaged source file.
While thinking about how to make both panels work as usual again, I wanted to repair the CS6 installation. Well, Adobe's installer does not offer a repair option...
Update: creating a new user on Windows made the panel appear normal again. So it seems the registration of Indesign's plugins is corrupt. Well, then let's reinstall it...

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Front panel issues

Hello there,
I originally had the Creative Audigy 2 ZS Platinum and all was fine. It all worked and the world was happy. I then (won't go into details) managed to damage the card and whilst I still got sound, the front panel and the joystick port would not work. As it was only the card that was broken, I purchased a new Audigy 2 ZS card assuming I would be able to just stick the front panel connector back on and all would be hunky-dory.
As you probably guessed, I am here, so all is not well. Whilst the game port now works, the front panel still does not respond to anything and I am at a loss. Is there some kind of jumper I need to switch or something? What have I done wrong.
All input is more that welcome, thanks...

i am having front panel issues. i think the damage to the card is a potential problem, but i don't think it's the cause for the panel not working. i think something is just seriously wrong with creative hardware. i really don't think pre-sales testing was performed extensi'vely enough. i have had more problems with my audigy 2 platinum in the 2.5 yrs i've had it than a new born baby. to make a long story short, i did a complete upgrade of my system, the only thing i kept was my case and audigy 2 and front dri've bay. i did nothing different than i had before, re-installed windows and everything. everything EXCEPT the front dri've bay works. i do get the red light from the optical out though, so there is power. i don't know what's wrong with this thing. all i can say is: creative you need to get your s**t together, you have as many issues with your sound blaster cards as microsoft has with windows. tech support: you need to do something for once and answer posts that people ask. i posted my question about this problem 7 months ago when it happened, guess how many repsonses i have. ZERO, NONE, NADA, NOT ONE RESPONSE. i don't blame forum users, not everyone knows, i blame tech support b/c you don't respond. i have no clue why, but do something, please.

Preflight Panel Error

I've recently started using the preflight panel in ID CS4 when I produce my company's 4/c process covers.
I have set up a custom preflight profile so that under:
- IMAGES and OBJECTS > Image Resolution > color, grayscale and 1-bit images are checked off and set at minimum resolution of 300dpi.
- COLOR > Color Spaces and Modes Not Allowed: RGB, Spot Color, and Lab are checked off.
> Spot Color Setup > Predefined Spot Colors Must: Use CMYK Equivalents
However, when I place some EPS files, I'm getting preflight panel errors indicating that the EPS file has an effective resolution less than that of 300dpi I set in my custom profile, and that the "content" uses spot color.
I opened up the EPS files in AI CS4 and the doc info says no spot colors. And when I package the ID files with the EPS graphics, the summary says that no spot colors were found. Also, these are postscript files...why would I get a resolution error? Besides, the EPS files are at 100%.
Why the spot color error? Help!

Run the EPS files thru Illustrator and sava as to proper current .ai files and replace and see if the problem persists.

Duplicate script label warning into preflight panel - possible?

Hello!
Duplicate script labels are creating problems for us.They occur when our graphic designers copy a picture box and forget to change the script label, resulting in two identical images - if the indesign document is closed - and reopened.
Is there any way to either provide a warning for duplicate script labels, and/or a insert duplicate script label-warning in the preflight panel?

Hi Hans,
Thanks for that suggestion.Simple and affective.
Cheers!

Preflight Panel Problem!

Indesign CS5
In the lower status bar preflight reports 3 errors and there is a red dot. When I click on the tab to bring up the preflight panel, the panel is blank and doesn't specify the errors. I tried loading other preflight profiles but the panel remains blank.
Haven't had any luck finding an answer to this problem.
Any one else experienced something similar? Solutions?
Thanks!

Preflight Panel. Could this be DONE?

Hello.
I'm fairly new with creating custom panel for Photoshop CS4/CS5 and I'm just wondering if creating a mini Preflight panel that reports details about an active document is possible. Similar to the screenshot below.
Thanks.

With Configurator you can do it but configuring a "script button" ( through your own script)
but it will display data only when you click the button
If you want a panel as shown in the image you should use SDK and FlashBuilder:

Preflight panel - maximal total ink option?

Hello!
I wanted to ask is there somewherein CS5 preflight panel hidden option for checking maximal total ink coverage for images? I didn't find it.
In CS3 there was such option. It sometimes worked strange but it was posible. And there was much more option for checking.
Or i just miss something and it all is there and i just don't see it?
Thanks.

I was found it. Don't remember right now where but there was such thing. Not so obvious but it was posible to add option for checking and find in object list total ink for image. I think same was for stroke and fill color max ink. But that was in CS3. I can find it later (some days) if needed.
Separation panel is excelent thing but since it depends on human eyes it's not so "cool" better for workflow would be to make Indesign do that work.
P.S. Oh my...i feel so ashamed. That was acrobat preflight. Sorry sorry sorry.

SEO Metadata options not display in admin panel issue.

SEO Metadata options not display in admin panel issue.

Hi there,
Not much information or detail there.
If the New meta option on pages is what you are refering to then the site in question is likely not been upgraded to that beta feature. Only partners who have access to beta options under settings can access that to upgrade.

Firefox continues to have"Not Reponding" issues. Upadated all plug-ins and disables most of them but issue still occurs, often.

Firefox continues to have"Not Responding" issues. Updated all plug-ins and disabled most of them but issue still occurs, OFTEN.

Thank you for your reply,
I know that plugins aren't being outright disabled and that people need to be encouraged to keep up to date, it's just that there's a lopsided amount of focus on them as a security vector from Mozilla.
I must point out however, that javascript security at the moment seems to consist of an on-off switch on almost every browser in existence: there is no obvious way to set "I don't want that site to know where my mouse is for my privacy", "I don't want that site to dynamically load content because it slows my browser" or the sort.
While there is CAPS ( http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/ConfigPolicy.html ) it is not configurable from within the browser (and its existence at all is obfuscated) and considering a lot of javascript is obfuscated to discourage run-time modification (say using web development toolbars) or discourage CAPS usage, there's little way to know what exactly to use CAPS on without reverse engineering. The average user would not be able to do this.
Javascript security needs to be more, much more than an on/off switch.

X-Fi Titanium PCI-E x1 and known UT3 OpenAL issue still not fixed!!!!!!!

Dear creative support... wtf is this?! This issue is known since so looooooong time, as i've read at other forums fixed with all other x-fi sound cards but with not my one. Installed yesterday latest beta driver, day before yesterday i've been using stable 2.7.0008 driver and with both versions i got this **bleep** annoying crash.
I want to remember to you issue details: random crashes of game during play it with ingame OpenAL enabled.
I have 5. speakers set and i want to play the game with surround audio, i can get it only by enable OpenAL in game menu so do not even try to suggest to me to disable OpenAL!!! I tried many known "fixes" and workarounds, using latest versions of driver but issue still happens to me.
IF this issue will not be fixed i will buy asus xonar asap, temporary i just have no money to buy new sound card. Gi've me driver fixing this issue, ffs!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is full PC configuration:
AMD Phenom II x4 B35 2,9GHz
Palit Radeon HD3850 52MB GDDR3 PCI-Ex
Creative X-Fi Titanium pci-e x
3xGB Kingmax DDR2 066MHz
Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H

This is the only game with which i have a problem.
I contacted with support via email form, they suggested to me to contact with game's customer support i did so and waiting for answer from them.
Creative support in answer said that this issue happens not only with creative x-fi products but unfortunately it's not true. In many forums problem were analysed by users and result is one: x-fi users only are facing this issue. Also before i bought card i've been playing long time ut3 with integrated realtek sound card and there was no problem with enabled openal, it shown up when i bought and installed x-fi titanium sound card.
