Printing 3026 copies of a 2 pages document in Indesign CS4

Hi,
I have a problem in InDesign CS4. I have a 2 pages document, that I want to print 3026 copies of. I know, that ID only will let me print 999 copies, but I only get a pdf-file of the 2 pages (page 1 and page 2), not 999 copies of the document. How to do it? Can anyone help?
Henriette

Thank you for your reply. I'd better explain the task properly. I have an InDesign document, 2 pages to be used as direct marketing to 3026 addresses. I had intended to print the document as a pdf file of 3026 copies, and then put the addresses of as a watermark in Acrobat (another pdf file 2 pages), but when I try to print 999 copies of InDesign, I get only a pdf file on the 2 sides, not in 999 copies. Have an idea of what I can do?
Many greetings
Henriette

Using "Pages" as my word processor I can not print a Standard page. Trying to print several copies of a single page gives me every thing parented back to back. What do I do to fix this?

You have Duplexing turned on. Turn it off.
This is to do with your Printer Driver and has nothing to do with Pages.

Resize a multiple page document in Indesign CC

How do you resize a multiple page document in Indesign CC so the content stays centered.
If I do it from Document Setup it resizes from the top left.
This use to work from Indesign CS6.
Thanks,
Rod

Try using the Page tool and the Liquid Layout Re-center rule.
You'll need to either select all the document pages or the master pages you want to resize. When those pages are selected, enter your new page size and choose Re-center from the Liquid Layout menu.
It's worked for me on pages I've tested.

Transferred CS4 to new MacBook Pro, now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. Help!

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. I transferred my CS4 from my older MacBook Pro to my new computer, and although it seemed to be working fine now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. These fonts are installed on my new computer, can be found in InDesign CS4, and work fine within the program but will not appear in PDFs. The letters turn into rectangles. Does anyone know why, and how to fix that?
Help/input would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Kristen.

you should properly install adobe products, not move, migrate or otherwise transfer them.

I previously used Indesign CS4. I now have recently purchased Indesign CC. I have a Mac Yosemite 10.10.3. When I print, I cannot select my paper stock, other than what is in the print dialogue box, i.e. art paper. In Indesign CS4, I could choose fine art

How can I print out a section of a pages document?

I am helping my dad with his (massive) memoirs. He wants to send individual chapters to friends and erstwhile colleagues, by PDF and snail mail. The chapters are in individual sections. How can he share or print these - without having to specify page numbers? Much obliged for any help.

Well you could chop up the document into individual documents or just Print from page x to y to PDF.
Since your father's friends will most likely have PCs or simply not have Pages, that would be the best format anyway.

How can I make a page transparent in InDesign CS4?

Hello and thank you all for your help in advance!
I would like to make a page transparent in InDesign.
When the magazine is printed it will be an overlay page with font printed on it where you can still see the image underneath. I was wondering if this is possible.
I'm not quite sure if it has a technical name to it or not so I uploaded a picture of what I'm speaking about to Tinypic.

(routes and lines on top on the semi-transparent page, map on next)
Thanks for your help!
Nora

will these subjects actually be printed on separate pages or do you want to overlay some images on one page with type on the same page?
If the former, add and use layers; if the latter design one page and save it as a pdf. Place that pdf on a lower level layer, lock the layer, and work on a higher layer.

How to hyphenate page ranges in InDesign CS4 Index

Hello,
Does anyone know how to automatically hyphenate page ranges in an index in InDesign CS4? In other words, if I generate an index with a reference on multiple consecutive pages, it looks like this:
Entry 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Obviously, this is much more cluttered than if it could read:
Entry 1, 4-10
I'm wondering if anyone knows whether there is an option to cause InDesign to do this automatically. I'd hate to have to go through and do it by hand.
Thanks in advance,
Professor F

Thanks very much, Jong, this is a helpful start. Unfortunately, it creates a new problem for the one it solved; when I run it, it will insert page numbers after the first letter of the index entry. So
Certificate of insurance 389, 390, 391, 392
becomes:
C, 389–92
ertificate of insurance 390, 392
I regret that I don't know anything about scripting. Is there some way to fix this, either through InDesign settings or by adjusting Peter's script?
Many thanks!

Thumbnails disappeared in Pages panel in InDesign CS4

The thumbnails that show the page spreads and the master pages have disappeared in the Pages panel of ID CS4 (on Windows XP SP3). I can't figure out (a) what caused them to disappear or, more importantly, (b) how to get them back. In the Panel Options, I have Show Thumbnails checked for both Pages and Masters, and all 3 of the Icons options checked. Any suggestions on how to get them back would be appreciated.

In followup, I tried to reinstalling ID4 -- a painful process. That didn't solve the problem. So I tried unchecking display thumbnails vertically. That worked in that the thumbnails for both masters and pages displayed correctly horizontally. I then rechecked display vertically and they disappeared again.

Opening InDesign 2.0 document in InDesign CS4 - is it possible?

Someone sent me an InDesign 2.0 document and I cannot open it using InDesign CS4, which is the version I have. The error message I get reads: "Cannot open [filename]. The document was edited by a pre-release version of InDesign."
Is there any way to open these documents?
Thank you.

No.
This is not a Version 2/Version 6 (your version) issue. The user had a prerelease version of InDesign which saved in a format incompatible with the release version, as a form of copy protection for beta users. If the person providing the file was a legitimate user of the prerelease version of InDesign 2, then they might be able to contact Adobe to solve this problem, but I highly doubt it.
Anyone who would have been a legitimate user of a prerelease version of InDesign is not likely to never have upgraded in over six years. The supplier of the file is likely a severe cheapskate using a bootleg copy.
Your best option may be to ask for a PDF and a packaged copy (with all linked files), then use that as a template to recreate the file.

My only local print shop can't open a .pages document

Help! I have to have the brochure I've worked on for a week printed this afternoon, and the printer is pc only, can't open my file. When I save it as a word document, it is not possible to read the document, and much of the content is missing...it generally looks like a third grader threw it together. Any help?

It's the printer offices which are more numerous using Windows than Mac Os X which is really not the same thing.
Sigh, you are wrong Yvan.
Between Microsoft Word and the printers raster image processor there has to be a page description language. Microsoft did not proceed with TrueImage as a competitor to PostScript, so Microsoft has had no native page description language between Word and the RIP. Instead Microsoft has depended on the Adobe page description languages PostScript and after 1993 increasing the Portable Document Format which is a derivative of PostScript level 2.
If a print shop receives a Word file, it opens the Word file and launches a print job from within Word that hands Word's internal data structures off to the Windows GDI Graphics Device Interface which in turn hands off to the Windows PostScript driver which in turn writes a PostScript file to disk which in turn is converted to Portable Document Format, if the PostScript is not sent directly to the PostScript Level 2 or PostScript Level 3 RIP.
It seems that you don't understand what is this forum.
Prepress has a first principle: GIGO Garbage In Garbage Out. Apple is responsible for the input to the prepress process, that is, for the input to the page description. If the input is garbage for whatever reason, then there is nothing the print shop can do with the printing master (well, short of hand editing the page descriptions in the PDF prepress editor which, believe me, is not for the non-technical).
Apple's job is to do the best it can to make sure the everyday enduser is able to produce input that will work well as the page description is processed down the line. In my humble opinion, what Peter has been asking for (deviceCMYK and device spot colour) would not be the best way to make sure the everyday enduser is able to produce a workable printing master, but then I got myself called a colour management (best not use that word) on another list.
The question remains whether Apple in its own terms, that is in terms of the device independent imaging models Apple itself developed, is doing the best for the everyday enduser. For instance, the Adobe PDF evangelist crossed himself in the OS X 10.3 time frame when it turned out that Quartz was converting TrueType to Type 1 instead of Type 42 in writing PostScript since the TrueType instructions are hurt by converting to Type 1 hints - not to mention that the obligatory CMAP Character Map is clipped when converting to Type 1.
I know you don't know prepress, and there's no problem with not knowing prepress, but please don't post to people that Apple's prepress support is satisfactory, because in fact it is not.

Print multiple Copies, Same Photo, One page?

I must be a moron. How does one put 2 or 4 copies of the same VERSION on one page to print. This was easy in iPhoto.

Can't be done.
Export and use iPhoto (or Pages or whatever) to do it.

Advice on importing a 250 page document into indesign 5.5

Hi,
My job needs me to put together a fairly large well-designed 250 page book. I currently have the document in a 2007 Miccrosoft Word file. I was trying to read on the Adobe website, as well as on the forums, but I am hoping to get some additional clarification. I was wondering, can Indesign 5.5 inport such a large word document and is it a difficult process? Also, would it be good idea to even try and import a document of that size, or is InDesign not really made for doing something like this? Thanks.
Louis

This is a major project and will require a fair amount of "advanced" technique (like using Styles properly), whether you make one file or a series of combined chapter files in a Book (In ID, a Book refers to a container file that holds information about other documents and is used to coordinate them and ooutput to a single finsehed document. It has nothign to do with waht the content actually is). The advantages I can think of to using a book over a single file are ease of navigation (fewer pages to scroll through in any document), some convenience if more than one person is working on the project as multiple docs can be editied by differnt people simultaneously, and a (very) small bit of additional safety from loss. With a single file, if it's damaged the whole thing is damaged, with a book, you lose only one document and the rest are still good. For a project this size, especailly if it has any cross-references (which are very flakey across documents) I think the advantages are minimal compared to some of the potential porblems John has raised.
But the main reason I'm posting is that I get the sense you are a new user, and I STRONGLY suggest you take some time to get a little training before you dive into something this big and dig a hole that you'll have trouble climbing out of. Lynda.com has some great video training, and a lot of new users find Sandee Cohen's Visual QuickStart Guide to be an excellent book (it's the most recommended book on this forum).

Unable to edit documents in InDesign CS4

Hello,
A work colleague has recently changed their laptop and installed CS4 - since the getting new computer he has been unable to edit documents (which are fine on my machine). He can select objects and reposition on the screen, but can't edit/delete. He can place the cursor and type new text, but can't edit existing text and is unable to move the cursor with the cursor keys.
The objects are not on the master page or locked.
Our Corporate IT has recently revoked all admin access to our own machines - could this affect InDesign? (No-one else seems to be effected)
We have tried uninstalling/reinstalling and deleting the prefs, but to to avail.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the reply.
My colleague had CS4 installed on his previous machine and had been using it without problem for over a year - its only since receiving his new laptop that the issues have started.
Unfortunately, I don't think setting up a new user account is really an option (it requires assistance from our parent company's IT dept.).
Yes, we did follow the instructions in the link when replacing the prefs files.
Regards,
James

How to get the filename of the current active document in InDesign CS4?

Hi,
If I open a document from File->Open, I can get the document's file name using IOpenedFileInfo->GetOpenedFilePath().
But, if I create a new document and perform File->SaveAs, GetOpenedFilePath is returning invalid IDFile reference.
What is the right way to get the active document's file name?
Thanks,
VSP

You can try this:
     IDatabse * db = ::GetDatabase(theDoc);
     IDFile * sysFile = db->GetSysFile();
     PMString docName = sysFile->GetFileName();
Good luck
