Problems Updating Producer Tools - InDesign CS5.5

Hi,
I am trying to update the Folio Producer tools in InDesign CS5.5, but each time I unzip the files, Windows shows duplicate files and then prompts for actions; keep original files and new files (same name but different sizes and creation dates), replace the same name files with the latest versions or include the duplicate files.
I have tried each option but cannot get any of them to work. At each stage I have tried the “set-up exe” but a pop up informs me that the file cannot be found.
I also uninstalled the Folio Producer tools and the Folio Builder before attempting to install updated versions of both packages. The order I used to install the updated packages was Folio Producer tools first and then Folio Builder. 
OS: Win7 Enterprise
InDesign: CS5.5
Producer Tools: V 1.10.1
Duplicate files: 130!
Can anyone PLEASE help me out with a solution?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, exactly, looks like glitch in the video. After I stop moving with object, everything is ok again. But not immidiatelly, there is a little delay (1 or 2 seconds). It doesn´t demage my work, it´s only glitch effect. But it delay me in work, it´s not pleasant to work with this glitch effects

  • Trouble Sampling Colors with Eyedropper Tool: InDesign CS5

    Hey everyone,
    My name is Quin, and I've used InDesign CS5 for the past few years and am working on a magazine layout for the first time. I'm suddenly having a really difficult time getting the eye-dropper tool to extract color samples from images i've placed in my layout. These are either jpeg or PDF images. If I recall correctly, in my past use of the program, i could simply click the eyedropper tool in an image and get my color sample – but suddenly, i'm having trouble getting it to sample color/make a color swatch.
    I tried double clicking the tool and excluding everything i wouldn't want it to sample. Tried locking/unlocking layers, tried making sure the image frame itself is selected, tried holding down option, tried trashing the preferences (using a 2012 MacBook Air with the latest version of OS X Mountain Lion)… most of the time when i attempt to sample a color, nothing shows up in the fill box, except the classic diaognal red line over white.
    The exception is when i use the eyedropper to sample non-image base things i've already filled, like a retangle, it picks up the color fine. So it's likely image specific. Is there something really obvious that i'm missing? It's frustrating because i simply want to sample colors to get a rough idea for text colors and headlines that can match images, and there doesn't seem to be a quick way to do this…
    Thanks so much for the help!
    -Quin

    Quin, I just had a eureka moment! I was having the exact same problem,  unable to sample color from images with the eyedropper tool, and when I sampled text to apply formatting, it strangely applied a black rule around the new text. The problem was intermittent, with the tool both working  and not working within the same document. I finally realized the tool was  misbehaving when sampling an item on the document, but worked fine when sampling images or text on the pasteboard.
    So, the document I'm working on is an ad with a 1pt rule around the border. I have the border on it's own layer at the top level, and locked, so I can select items on the ad without the border getting in the way. What I found is, even though it's locked, the eyedropper tool is sampling the border from that layer!
    I tried turning off  stroke  settings in the eyedropper options just gave my text a fill of 'none.' Turning off both stroke and fill settings had no effect on the new text at all. I tried unlocking the layer and just locking the border on it's own, but it still picked up the formatting from the border.
    The only thing that worked is to hide the layer! Turn off the layer 'eyeball' and see if that works for you.

  • Problems with transparent objects InDesign CS5.5

    Hi, I have troubles with using transparent objects in InDesign CS5.5 (Win7):
    If there is a transparent object in the background, is problem to move with another objects over this area. The object moving over the area with transparency "erases" objects below: texts, boxes.... They are not in fact erased, this effect tooks  only for the moment of movement and little bit longer. I have to wait for a while and after it is ok, but the work is slower and software is not working fast as I was got used in older versions.
    This trouble is not a problem of my computer (I have a new one with 16GB RAM, i5 processor), the same trouble with the same InDesign is on my laptop.
    Updates of InDesign are automatically installed.
    Can you give me some advice?
    Thanks, Petra
    this is screenshot - I moved with blue object - below you can see trails of "erasing"

    Yes, exactly, looks like glitch in the video. After I stop moving with object, everything is ok again. But not immidiatelly, there is a little delay (1 or 2 seconds). It doesn´t demage my work, it´s only glitch effect. But it delay me in work, it´s not pleasant to work with this glitch effects

  • Problema de video con InDesign CS5

      Hola colegas
      Anoche trabajando con InDesign CS5, me he fijado en un error de video, y digo que es en el InDesign CS5, ya que he hecho lo mismo con el CS4 y no tengo ese mismo problema. A ver os explico, en el CS5 hago un degradado y coloco encima una imagen y la muevo por el degradado y crea unas manchas que al soltar la imagen ya desaparecen, resulta incomodo para trabajar. Hago la misma operación en el CS4 y no pasa nada. No creo que sea el ordenador ya que es un MacBook Pro Unibody Intel Core2Duo 2.8 GHZ, 4GB de RAM DDR3 y con una tarjeta gráfica NVIDIA 9600GT a 512MB
      Os dejo unas capturas de pantalla que he hecho para que podáis ver a lo que me refiero.
      CS4 CS5
    Un saludo

    He probado con el efecto de degradado a transparencia y efectivamente, en Mac, aparece ese problema de redibujado. No asi en Windows 7.
    No existen disponibles actualizaciones de drivers para tarjetas GeForce (o de otras marcas) para el Mac OSX, asi que habrá que esperar que intenten solucionarlo bien Apple con un driver en una actualización, o Adobe si el problema lo pueden resolver ellos.
    Ya no hay acceso a la base de errores detectados al lanzar InDesign CS5, asi que habrá que ir a la página en inglés para añadir el "defecto" para su posible solución en alguna revisión. (Ya han lanzado varias para Flash, Dreamweaver, Bridge ...).
    De todas formas, mi consejo es que los degradados vayan de color a no-color (0%, o "blanco") no a transparente, evitando añadir transparencias no necesarias a un archivo para impresión, o a formatos que no la admitan.

  • Problem with Eyedropper Tool in CS5

    I have used many versions of PS but can not figure this one out.  When using the Eyedropper Tool in CS5 it does NOT pick up a color when I click on that color...the Foreground and Background colors remain black and white.  Any suggestions?

    Ok...I figured it out.

  • Updating plugins for inDesign CS5

    This has surely been discussed and answered prior to today but I can't find any mention other than a Search uncovering dozens of torrents.
    I frequently get a message I need to update my in-design plugins but can't find a link to an adobe download. Any help appreciated.

    I inherited the job of recovering files created during the period of time my company used Adobe CC and after analysis decided to go back to using CS5 and CS6 software they had purchased. I'm forming the opinion now that it will be easier for me to simply reconstruct the documents either in another program or ID CS5. There may be serious differences between CS5 and CC versions but for the publications this company produce, I can't find any useful difference between the two versions or at any rate, nothing I can't overcome with CS5.
    I'm not surprised to discover what you've said seems to be correct. Just another example of too much focus on profit and not enough on product perfection. When I compare some of my magazines created with an Atari system, the only functional difference is the colour and the layout. Both of which could be easily brought into line with current design trends. I agree absolutely with your description of the message. All it seems to have done is create a plethora of virus riddled torrents unknowing people are poisoning their computers with.
    Thanks for the reply. I think this company's answer is to recreate those documents that were not converted to .dml files before removing CC from their workstations.

  • Finding ligature text in PDF when produced from InDesign CS5

    Hi everybody,
    Can you please any one help me on the below issue.
    When searching the PDF, some words are not found. If I search the word "final", I find 19 occurences of the word "finally", but none whatsoever of "final". The word "final" is only found if I search for "fi nal" with a space between the "i" and "n". I previously suspected a ligature problem. Please provide me a solution and it will be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Sathishkumar K

    These problems are difficult, and details matter a lot.
    EXACTLY how are you generating the PDF, and exactly what tools are you using to view and search it?
    What versions of the tools, and what version numbers of the operating systems?
    Can you share the files with us?
    Lilia, I don't think it's fair to spread Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) about ligatures. They're an important typographical element that works well for many people. If there's a problem with it, we should figure it out and get it fixed rather than ignoring it and pushing it on to the next generation.

  • InDesign CS5 crashes when clicking on Edit menu or context menu

    I had this infuriating problem with InDesign CS4, found a few references to others having the same issue, but never any real solutions.  This problem seems to in InDesign CS5 as well.
    With a document open, if I click the Edit menu or right-click anywhere in the document window (including in the pasteboard area... it does not have to be on an object), ID immediately freezes and I get the Windows 7 "Adobe InDesign CS5 has stopped working" dialog.
    I've deleted the preferences, created a brand new one-page document, and the problem persists.  If no document is open, I can pull down the Edit menu just fine.  With a document open, ID crashes before it even draws the menu.  It does not matter whether I use the mouse or the keyboard to get to the Edit menu.  I can also right-click on things like palette tabs to bring up the context menu.  But I cannot right-click anywhere on the document itself without ID crashing.
    The maddening thing is that the problem did not show up until some time today.  I've brought up an object's Effects window via right-click plenty of times, as well as used the Fitting context menu.  It was working fine last night and earlier this morning.  Then suddenly for no discernible reason, the crashes started happening.  I am not aware of any changes to my system that might reasonably cause this.  No new fonts, no Windows updates, no Adobe updates.
    Any suggestions on how else I can troubleshoot this?

    Peter,
    Yes, I can bring up the Paragraph Styles and the Character palettes with no document open, edit the [Basic Paragraph] style to change the font family, then open a blank document, and new text boxes will use that font.
    I'm on a bit of a deadline right now, so I ended up uninstalling ID CS5 and reinstalling it.  I can now successfully bring up the Edit menu and the right-click context menu both in a blank document and in the document I was working on before.  I'm sure the problem will reappear again at some random point in the future, so I am still looking for fixes that don't involve reinstalling the app.
    BTW, I have tried exporting my work document to IDML and re-importing it, but to no avail.  I've also tried toggling Dynamic Spelling (past threads have suggested this as a possible fix), but also to no avail.
    It would be really nice if Adobe products produced some sort of crash dump or bug report when this sort of thing happens...

  • Hard 100% InDesign CS5 crash - Dead?

    I have a large multi-document book that causes a hard InDesign CS5 crash (submitted to Adobe without response many, many times).  Opening any of the book's documents causes the crash, or restarting InDesign after a crash - which crashes trying to recover.
    I've done the following - many times in various orders:
    o  Reset InDesign preferences (on restart with 4 keys or manually deleting hidden files per this forum).
    o  Cleared all the font caches.
    o  Run the Photoshop FontTest javascript (which identifies Lucida Grande as a problem).
    o  Re-installed InDesign CS5 and updates completely (although without a complete preceding de-install).
    o  Re-installed Mac OS X 10.6 and updates completely.
    o  On another machine, created individual markup documents of every document in the book (.idml files), then moved and tried to open them on the offending machine.
    o  Removed all the "recovery" files - in the book's home folder as well as ~/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/Version 7.0/en_US/
    o  Screamed.
    In all cases, upon opening a document in the book (individually or via the book's list of documents) InDesign crashes.  I'm just about ready to get my money back for CS5.  Anybody have some magic?  I need it.
    Here's the stack crawl of the crashing thread:

    I have no idea why this should be so, but I found a way to retrieve corrupted documents in the book:
    The book contained 12 documents - 6 of which were corrupted by InDesign and could not be read by ID CS5, ID CS4 nor could they be exported to .idml files because they couldn't be opened long enough to do so.  History (although I can no longer prove this) indicates that InDesign could corrupt a document during a crash (in book mode, with a good document open, try to open a corrupted document) and subsequent recovery attempt.  When I indicated that even CS5 on another machine would repeat the corruption process, this is how it happened on both of my machines.
    So... I tried everything - going back to old backups (thanks to Time Machine), most of which were corrupted or earlier documents that were missing most of what I needed.  I was prepared to re-do hundreds of hours of work.  I re-installed Mac OS X 10.6 again.  I re-installed InDesign CS5 again... and I thought... before updating it (from the 7.0.0.355 disk distribution), let's try to open the corrupted versions of the documents.  It opened 5 of the 6.  Amazed, I quickly made uncorrupted copies of these documents, made markup files and replaced them in the original book.  The last document crashed, but it didn't spread to other open documents.  So (still without updating InDesign) I created a brand new book file and started adding the documents to it - leaving the one remaining document as the last addition.  When I added it, ID indicated it was damaged but added and opened it anyway.  I made an uncorrupted version of that document and replaced it in the replacement book.  I ran the PhotoShop font test again and it still reported that Lucida Grande (regular) was SNAFU, but Font Book reported it as OK - seeming to indicate that the font issue raised in this forum was not related.  I could find no visible abnormalities in any of the recovered documents.  (I was also the victim of the "Anchored Object outside the margin" crash problem early in CS5 that required an update to recover from.)
    I'm going to update my copy of InDesign CS5 one of these days, but not until making extra backup copies of every ID document I've produced in the last year.  I'm a software guy and my instincts tell me that something (wild guess - the Adobe Cool Type feature of the Paragraph Composer/Optical Kerning plugin) is broken - perhaps worsened during a software update.  Adobe software is known to be "fragile" - I just had no idea how expensive such fragility could be.
    I'm marking this thread "answered" although I still don't know the reason for the problem.  Thank you for your help and encouragement.

  • Indesign CS5 with PNG file exporting as a PDF file but the text is random bold

    Hello,
    I am looking for help to teach me how to solve this problem.
    I use Indesign CS5 to make a proposal. I set the page marker and sub title in the master page.
    Of course, there are including dozens of pages and some pictures here.
    And one of these page, I place a PNG file and type some text.
    When I export this file as a PDF file, one page, which is including PNG file, the text becomes random bold.
    Therefore, I have used PSD file to cover the PNG file. But finally getting the same problem.
    So does anyone can help me how to solve this problem?
    Thanks so much for your help.

    This sounds like a known issue with transparency on the page. When transparency is introduced ID uses a differnt method, apparently, of rendering text on that page and it appears bolder on screen and can print that way on low resolution devices like desktop printers. It usually is not a problem on press output.
    The only way to mainatian consistency would be to introduce transparency on all pages, perhaps by adding a transparent object to your master page.

  • Probelm with InDesign CS5 table resize

    I am having problems resizing tables in InDesign CS5.
    The width can be in- and decreased, however the height just won't move up nor down when pulling in the lower right corner nor anywhere else on the columns baseline.
    Anybody else having this problem?
    Is it a bug or maybe just me not understanding things correctly in the help section...?
    Any input is appreciated so knock yourselves out. :-)

    Hey again!
    I figured it out. Just made a complete new document and tried again.
    This time everything works as it's supposed to.
    I assume the problem has something to do with the fact that I overtook the job I am currently working on from a colleague and thus there was some form for corruption or similar.
    At least when starting from a fresh it's all working fine again.
    But you just gave me the idea to check this possibility so I rated your answer as helpful.
    However I have no clue what to do with the old document in order to change that. I guess it's one of those InDesign mysteries that so often occur but I also assume that copying and pasting will be sort of a solution..., well here and now at least.
    So unless you know what could be the reason for the corruption I'll thank you very much for your time and kind help.

  • Trouble updating Camera RAW for CS5

  • Missing words creating PDF with Acrobat 7 (newly installed InDesign CS5)

    Since a few days I have some curiosity creating PDF files!
    Randomly the PDF output is missing whole words in the document but having spares in the right tracking for them in the document.
    It occurs that the missing words are subject to another font however not all words in this font are missing in the document.
    Also my printer tell's me if he's going to print the PDF (in this case a serial letter with pre-stamped addresses) his computer is breaking down completely and also printing hieroglyphs.
    This document was printed from MS Word 2003 with "Adobe PDF" as printer.
    I also use FreePDFXP, though the same error comes up.
    In addition I tried several settings for the PDF with no effect in the outcome.
    I am still working with Acrobat 7 (from CS2 suite) under WinXP Professional SP3 and hadn't any problems before installing my InDesign CS5 upgrade a few days ago.
    I only can assume that the problem is InDesign CS5 but cannot prove it.
    Anyone an idea on how to solve the problem?!
    I am really annoyed about this since for the pre-stamped letters I already paid money to the mail service and the need to be in the mail today - otherwise I am loosing several 100 Euros to the paper-bin).

    Thanks for your feedback.
    However I checked all the settings in the joboptions. All fonts are to be embedded (100%) and I also actively selected the fonts to be transferred.
    I am using TheSans from LucasFonts as Open Type.
    For my document I have SemiLight as standard style and Bold for accentuation.
    While the bold style will be printed in "bold only" lines, it is not printed in lines/paragraphs where also the SemiLight style is used.
    When I change color of the words in bold, the effect inverts and only the bold style words are displayed but not the SemiLight text!
    I have a second laptop with the same system and software configuration (Win XP Professional SP3; Acrobat 7), where the same document runs smoothly.
    That's why I assume, that it must be the Indesign CS5 upgrade causing trouble (it's the only new addition to the first laptop).
    Unfortunately Adobe has no answer here also.
    The only solution would be to adopt my documents for this effect and follow the logic of the machine instead of my mind...
    As we do so often since invention of computers...

    1.1.1 version did not have any problems after the update, the problem occurred.
    I wonder what has to be resolved.
    During the following posts in the same case shows the problem has beenresolved with the people saw a wonder.

    I have the same problem (as explained at length in this thread), with the Folio Builder 1.1.2 update using InDesign CS5 under Windows XP. I can even sign in to CS Live services within InDesign, but opening the Folio Builder panel then produces the same error that you're getting.
    The only workaround is to uninstall DPS and then re-install it step by step, stopping after the second patch. Do not install the latest Folio Builder because it does not work under Windows, as far as I can see.

  • Folio Producer Tools in both InDesign CS5 and CS5.5

    Two versions installed (InDesign CS5 + CS5.5 - Win7-64Bits). I installed the Folio Producer Tools / Panel in both, but on version 5.5 "Extensions" menu does not appear. What is the solution to the problem?

    Uninstalled and reinstalled Folio Producer and Folio Panel, but there's no "Extensions" in Window menu. Another tip?
