Preview problem with InDesign CS 5.5

I have been trying to preview a simple 5 page document in my InDesign CS 5.5 program with the Folio Builder preview button, but it says that "PDF stacks are only supported on iOS viewers." What does this mean, and how can I solve it so I can preview my document?
Alo, I tried previewing through the Overlay Panel preview option, but once it opens the viewer window, it hangs up and stops loading everything.
Any help would be appreciated.
James

Additional info about what I am trying to do:
I am just playing with InDesign and trying to build apps that I will only use and was wondering if there is any way to do that without using the DPS Adobe requires. That is, are there any other InDesign plugins I can use to generate standalone apps for personal use?

Printing problems with InDesign CS3 running on OS 10.6

I recently upgrade my old G4 Mac (OS 10.4) to a new Mac Mini running OS 10.6.6. I am still running CS3 and have encountered only one problem. When I print multiple copies documents from InDesign that contain several layers, each copy is processed separately, so that it can take several minutes just to send the print job to the printer if I'm printing over 20 copies. Then once the print job is processed the printer pauses between every copy, which is tripling the printing time. If I print a simpler document with only one or two layers it processes all the copies at once, as it should. I am printing on an Okidata 6150 color laser printer.
I never had this problem on my old computer. I'm wondering if this is one of the "unsupported" bugs of running CS3 on Snow Leopard. I want to make sure that this is a problem unique to running CS3 with Snow Leopard before I go ahead and upgrade to CS4 or CS5.
computer: Mac Mini core 2 duo 2.4 ghz processors, 4 gb RAM, printer: Okidata 6150 DN color laser printer.

Hi again Peter
It is version 5.0.4. I updated it when I newly installed it a week ago in my new computer, and then again updated it just yesterday.
I might mention that before I got my new computer, I was running Mac OS 4.11, and was using InDesign 3.0. I had bought InDesign CS3 about a year ago, but hadn't gotten around to using it since version 3.0 had been working fine, and I was used to it. Then, when I got my new computer, I decided it was time to use the newer version. However, while using InDesign 3.0 with the old Mac OS 4.11, a printing problem popped up there, too, a few months ago... and it also involved printing problems with Adobe Reader. I contacted Adobe, and they sent me a patch which fixed it. I will contact Adobe again if need be, although I thought I'd start here first to see if it was a common enough problem that someone might be able to provide a free and routine answer.

Subject: Printing problems with InDesign CS3 with Mac OS 10.6.3
I neglected to ask what version of indesign CS3 you are using. I also
notice that Mac OSX 10.6.4 has just been released. It actually
addresses some CS3-specific issues, though they seem to be related to
launching the apps, not printing. It may be worth trying to update,
nonetheless.

I have a problem with indesign cs6 and my epson 3880 on mac

I have a problem with indesign cs6 and my epson 3880 on mac. I need an older version of indesign but do not have a serial number....any suggestions?

I see then I believe Kglad's advice is on track with starting with updating your printer drivers. I have also moved this discussion over to the InDesign forum as the Users in this forum likely have additional suggestions.
Also if you can please turn off your e-mail signature if you want to respond via e-mail. Your responses are going to a public forum where the information is accessible by anyone. I have edited your previous response to remove the signature.

Problem with InDesign CC redrawing the screen too slow while using Zoom tool

Hello. I got a problem with InDesign CC redrawing the screen too slow while using Zoom tool. Sometimes it takes more than a secong to zoom in or out. However InDesign CS6, Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC works just fine. What could be the problem, videocard or something else? Below is my PC configuration: OS Windows 8 Pro (x64); processor Intel Core i7 2600k CPU 3,40GHz; video adapter NVIDIA GeForse GTS 450; monitor NEC PA271W (2560x1440).

Yes it’s a bug. The trick is to select the tool and then left click the photo information strip and hold for a few seconds until you see the windows bar at the top of the screen (not responding)
The lasso tool should then work normally.

Type problem with InDesign, especially CC.

Hi. I'm experiencing a type problem with InDesign, especially CC. When I open a type box, the cursor appears in the top right hand corner. I can correct that by selecting 'range left' but when I paste or type in my copy, the final period of each paragraph appears at the beginning of the last line. This is drivning me up the wall as I can find a way of correcting it.
Any ideas to solve this problem?
Thanks

Are you using a MENA (Middle East North Africa, Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi, …) version? Then restting woul not help.
If not, you have to create a new document with the same Paragraph, Character and Object Styles (name should be identical) and import them into the other document to overwrite these style oddities.
If you are working without styles? Create correct new styles and apply them.
I doubt that resetting preferences will change here anything as paragraph properties from any existing document will not be changed when working with new preferences.

Printing problems with InDesign CS3 with Mac OS 10.6.3

I am not new to InDesign... I have CS3... but I am brand new to Mac Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.3). Although I can open CS3 and use the application, I cannot print with it. None of my other applications has printing issues... just CS3. Any suggestions?

Problem with Indesign CC 2014 and tables

Problem with Indesign CC 2014 and tables. The text rearranges itself when I delete or add something in a table; the footnotes to the text associated with the overlap even getting unreadable. Just click on the chain symbol in the window and everything is fine. Why?

Preview problems with Adobe pdfs

Hi all
I hope this is in the right place ... I've checked through the forums, but couldn't find a problem like this anywhere.
I have just upgraded from a PowerMac G4 dual to a PowerMac G5 dual-core, both running the latest version of Tiger and have managed to migrate across most things. However, there is one problem I'm having which is a bit frustrating.
I use the Adobe CS2 for most of my work, but since changing machines, the Export/Save As PDF features aren't working properly. If I Export any document to pdf from InDesign, it will then not open in Preview, giving a particularly vague error: "File Error. Couldn't open the file." If I then open it up in Reader or Acrobat Pro it works, but when closing it afterwards, it asks me to Save the file (though to my knowledge I haven't made any changes). The file will then open in Preview.
A similar thing happens in Illustrator, but with a twist ... a file Saved as pdf will open straight away in Preview, but once closed won't then open again, until I go through the same process with Acrobat. Having the tested the files on other Macs, the problem is with the files, as they don't open on any machine, nor on a PC (before realising the problem, I sent a pdf to a client).
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance <d>

Hi Vipir
Thanks for the quick reply!
When making the pdfs, I didn't use any of the standards (to maximise compatibility), but I tried every available version of Acrobat (from 4 to 7) and all produced the same result. When I started, I had them Optimised, but after reading a few things online, I tried without Optimising, and then without Tagging them, but still without success.
The end result seems to be a pdf which will only open on Reader or Acrobat Pro, after being fixed by them in some way. If not opened in either of them, then they don't seem to be able to be opened by anyone (regardless of platform or program).
Maybe I've been lucky in the past, but I've never experienced any problems with pdfs before, and I just got used to pdfs being fairly 'bullet-proof!'
Thanks for your help <d>

Is there a problem with Indesign effects exporting to PDF?

Hi All... Since updating to the latest version of Indesign, I can't seem to get my effects to work when I export into a PDF? Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with the new version of Indesign? I have a job that I'm urgently trying to get out but can't get the drop shadow or bevel emboss to transfer to the PDF that needs to go to my client? Can anyone help me with this ASAP pleeeeease???

It looks OK in the Indesign overprint preview and I usually have my Acrobat set to view overprint as well so I turned it off & on just in case there was something happening there, but no luck!
I am using a spot colour in the background behind the graphic but not on the graphic itself, but I don't think that should effect it as I'm sure I've done this many times (But I am starting to doubt myself now... lol)?

That is reason, why it looks like it looks. But what happens if you replace the spot to a process color?

Bridge CS 6 preview problem with video files

Hey Community,
I have a problem with the preview in Adobe Bridge Cs 6.
With the pictures and photos everything is fine, but every kind of video format is not displayed as a preview in the preview window, so that I have to open each video manually by doubleclicking on it, so that it is opens in Quicktime.
Is there an opportunity to get that fixed? I just see the Quicktime or VLC-Icon, nothing more.
I tried to purge to cache, to set everything to defaults but nothing worked.
Thank you in advance und best regards.
Alex

Doubleclicking on the files in Bridge causes that quicktime or VLC or itunes (depending on the file format) will open that, but bridge does not handle anything?!
Bridge CC and Bridge CS6 both handle my .mov files from EOS 1Dx and iPhone without any problems. The show in the preview window and can be played with sound in this same window. (MacPro with 10.8.4)
Purging cache is what it is, it dumps the previous cache of the preview and forces Bridge to create a new one, nothing else is set to default.
First try a reset of preferences and hold down option key while restarting Bridge and choose reset prefs. then try again.

Preview problem with C&EN pdf document

Hi,
I have problem with correct font view of some pdf (from web with password) in application Preview. When I have tried open file in Acrobat Reader or my iPhone it works fine. So, I have reinstalled Lion OSX again, I have checked Font Book in OSX Lion, but exclamation marks show me only duplicated fonts and only one problem with very rare font (Bauhaus 93). When I see pdf in Safari its also OK, but after saving it is "broken" (see supporting files).
Thank you.

Hi Gangisetty,
I guess there is no need to change any settings.
You just need to change format from OTF to PDF using some FM.
You can refer following links for conversion of OTF to PDF.
Re: sending INVOICE as attachment in PDF for external Mail address
FM to send an email with a PDF attachment

Problem with Indesign CC 2014 (Creative Cloud)

I tryed to install InDesign CC 2014 (in a Mac) from Creative Cloud but the installation hangs in 17%... Checking the logs shows me that there is a problem with the file.

If this is correct the selected text says that the file is corrupted...

Problem with InDesign CS6 start (without internet)

Hello,
I have a problem with the start of InDesign CS6 linked to the presence or absence of internet.
I need to set an IP without internet on the Mac where I installed InDesign, but when I do it right after the splash screen the program freezes for a few minutes, after which starts.
With internet this problem does not occur.
I have already activated the CS6 both online and offline, but the problem continues.
I need to open something on firewall?
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance

You need to tell us more about what you are doing. Once activated, ID should not require internet access to run unless it needs to verify the subscription status.

Tools problem with Indesign
