Pull-out tab in InDesign CS6

Hi there,
I am struggling to create a pull-out tab in InDesign CS6. I tried the method outlined by Colin Flemming in his video, but this no longer seems to apply.
How must I go about creating a pull-out tab (horizontal) with the new DPS tools? Scrollable frame?
Thanks,
Tess

Was this the video you watched?

It was really helpful to for me and yes you do your the scrollable frame

Pull out tab pan and zoom option grayed out

I've been trying to follow this great tutorial about pull out tabs, but have one issue. I've just updated InDesign 5.5 Folio Builder to v.22 and the producer tools to the most recent release on August 7. Here is what I've been doing.
Create an unassigned box for the tab. Create an unassigned box for background. Create a text box and add text.
Group all of them together.
Create an image box (container frame) that is larger than my grouped content and paste the grouped content into it.
When I select the image box (container frame) and select Pan and Zoom, all options are greyed out.
If I clear the content from the image box and put a photo in it, I can use the Pan and Zoom options.
Any ideas on what I'm doing incorrectly? Thanks!
Tutorial I'm following.

Thanks, for the record, I updated my steps to show the correct process.
Create an unassigned box for the tab. Create an unassigned box for background. Create a text box and add text. Create an unassigned box at the top left to "hold" the tab position to the right side of your document.
Group all of them together.
Create an image box (container frame) that is larger than the grouped content and paste the grouped content into it.
Select the image box (container frame) and choose Scrollable Frame with the options - Horizontal, check Hide for Scroll Indicators, and select Upper Left for Initial Content Position.
Thanks again Bob!

Pull-out tab and layers order question

hello
i'm building a pull out tab like in here
what i paste into the container is a group inluding
- one panorama image / and (over it) a little icon to say "hey, grab me and pull me"
the icon is over the panorama image
but when i preview, it goes UNDER (i can see a part of it only on the left side) and not over it
i really can't figure out why
otherwise i tworks fine, i can pull out the tab, roll down my panorama image etc.

okay bob got it
gotta do both, one over one another
1 first a two state (identical) MSO for the icon,
2 and a transpartent button over it, linkin' t the MSO's next state,
3 then GROUP THEM,
3 and then group this group with the element you want to have under and it WORKS !!!
feeling quite happy

Pull-out tab and swipe: conflict

hello everybody
When you're on article X, How can you swipe horizontally to the next article Y when you have a pull out tab that take the WHOLE page X ?
I'm stuck in navigation !

Hi Seb
I'm afraid you can't! its a bad limitation at the moment.
Answer re-design the pullout.
But just to let you know, the enterprise guys have the ability to create a "fake invisible" hot spot area that sits above the pull out that does allow the user to then swipe to navigate away from the page. Don't actually very fair. If I have that wrong, could some one please correct me :-)
Cheers

Pull Out Tab interfering with vertical text scroll

Hi, ive created a pull out tab which opens up on top of a text frame that scrolls vertically. However, if i try to scroll the text which is under the invisible area i.e. overlaps the 'empty' container area of the pull out tab, the tab opens up, instead of the text scrolling. How do i fix this?

One possibility is to add dummy buttons to the empty scroll area of the pull tab, but I don't think that would work in your case because you basically have dueling scrollable frames.

Pull out tab - two way to scroll

Hello!
I wanted to reproduce the 'two way scroll pull out tab' I saw on the DPS tips app (Advanced Overlays).
I was able to make the the pull out tab and to include another scrolling frame inside But I have problems with the buttons. They just don't work.
I'd like to do the same as in the example with a clicable list that change a multistate object.
Is there some tips to include buttons in scrolling frame?
Thanks for your help!
Best
j.

When you paste the content frame into the container frame in the nested overlay, the buttons lose their actions. Use the Layers panel to select each button and specify the action. It helps if you give your buttons logical names like "Asparagus Button."

Jquery Pull Out Tabs?

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know if its possible to have pullout tabs with content working inside edge?
cheers

Hey Elaine,
Thanks for that.
Sorry its been so long to reply i've been trying to figure out another app for ages now!
Anyway with the slide out tab question, i'm hoping this is something i can easily do inside of animate.
Basically when this tab is touched i want it to animate out on to the stage to reveal its content, when its done with the user simply taps it again and it animates back to its start position.
In my composition i have an symbol which contains all the content and sits to the left of the stage just showing its tab, the picture shows this better with the symbol being on the stage.
This seams like something pretty basic to me, simply a touch to make something animate on and animate off. But i cant find any videos or help anywhere for this hopefully simple interactivity.
I know the next release does have something to do with sliders so maybe that will help.
But if you can help out on this i would be eternally grateful!
Cheers

Missing Tabs Panel/Indesign CS6

Hello. I just upgraded from CS4 to CS6 and resumed working on a book, only to find that there is no Tabs panel to be found anywhere (see attached jpg image). It's usually right under Paragraph in the Type Menu. It's also not in the Windows/Type Menu. I've been searching high and low around the program and on the internet and cannot find any clues. The Tabs instrutional videos on YouTube clearly show CS6 with a Tabs panel available in its traditional spot. I know this is bizarre and it's about to make me freak out because it seems like it should be pretty basic and obvious. Maybe it is and I'm missing a vital piece of info? If you have any ideas i sure would like to hear them...

Before the suggestions get made to re-install, a time consuming p.i.t.a. task for sure, do any users of InDesign 6 HAVE tabs in the drop down window?
Like ej5000 I do not have tabs in my drop down menus either. Steve I've trashed and restored my prefs so many times my head spins. Some afternoons it is literally all I get done. LITERALLY.
ej I think you were ont to something here
Hmmm, nothing else is working. This is so rediculous and it's taking up all my work day. I feel like the only solution is to semi-retire CS6, go back to CS4 and only use CS6 for importing .docx documents and exporting ePubs after I've preped them in CS4.
Peter's suggestion is the only way I am able to view my tabs pane.
...press Cmd + Shift + T?
MUCH easier and more time efficient than re-installing or needlessly/ceaselessly/endlessly deleting prefs. Since Adobe is constanly monitoring my activity and issuing updates this should get fixed on Adobe's end IMHO.

Why Out of memery Indesign CS6????

I have just bought a brand new Mac book pro Retina display, with 16GB memory DDR3, 2,7 Ghz Core i7, software OS X 10.8.3 (12D78).
I had my first job in Indesign, - and have worked on it about 2 hours, then came a error: with 16GB memory
Why does this happened?
My old Mac book pro with 4GB memory, does not do this???? What shall I do?????

ID is still a 32-bit program until the release of the new CC version in a few weeks so it can oly address a bit less than 4 gb of RAM, no matter how much is installed onthe machine. This could be caused by a corrupt image, perhaps, really complex vectors pasted from Illustrator, or maybe even just a lot changes without a Save As to clear the change info (though I'm less confident about that one, a periodic Save as to a new name at each major change point in the design is good practice to keep a backup chain in case of problems).

Multiple tabs,sliders or pull-out trays in DPS

Hello!
How can I have multiple pull-out tabs in DPS on the same page.
My screen shots show the tabs on the right and then the last tab pulled out. But it seems that this tab stops all the functionality of the other tabs, i.e. they dont pull out.
Has anyone got a bright idea for a dull day, to make the other tabs work?
Thanks.

Hi Bob,
I seem to be having a similar problem. Could you be more specific about the MSO approach, please?
Thank-you kindly.

InDesign CS6 and OpenGL 1.5 / image frames grey out in INDML

Hi everyone,
I work for a non-profit and I just upgraded to InDesign CS6 on my (signifcantly more robust) machine. Now thier (significantly wimpier) machine needs to be upgraded too as we send INDD files back and forth on a monthly basis, and both sides do edits to the file. The INDML file I export out of CS6 is greying out many of the linked photos (but not all) when they read the INDML file in with CS4.
Two things:
1) Upgrading the slower machine to CS6 is the place, but the hitch is that computer has a graphics card that is only OPENGL 1.5 capabale (GMA X3100). The CS6 specs state you need a card that supports OPENGL 2.0. We can't afford to replace the computer, so: I wouldn't dream of running photoshop CS6 on this old machine, but could InDesign CS6 function on OPENGL 1.5?
2) Alternatively, why are only some of the pictures greying out in the INDML file? Can I fix this CS6 > CS4 issue without upgrading to CS6?
Help! Thanks!

The system requirements for stand-alone ID don't mention OpenGL at all. You might want to download a trial and see how it runs.
.idml does not include any link previews (that's one of the main reasons the file is so compact). Images that are showing up on the other end must be accessible so that ID can regenerate the previews.

Indesign CS6 quits during document recovery, even after restart. How do I get out of this cycle?

Indesign CS6 quits during document recovery, even after restart. How do I get out of this cycle?
I was saving a document when it originally quit. so "locked" file appeared in directory as well as reg file.
Upon restart of InDesign, recovery failed and software quit again.
Restarted computer, then indesign, file opens but as soon as I select "recover" it sends a message that indesign needs to close.
I cannot seem to get out of this cycle. Help.

Use your operating system’s Search utility to find a folder called (InDesign Recovery) and delete it.

Need help ASAP....

That looks familiar, but that's not good news. That's one of the one's I don't have a solution for. John Hawkinson is our resident expert on these, and perhaps he'll join us.
In the meantime, do you have any third party plugins installed, or a font manager? Did ID ever launch for you?
Are you able to run Adobe Extension Manager? If so, try unchecking the PMWelcomeScreen plugin so it doesn't launch on startup and try starting ID again. I believe that plugin is associated with the ShuksanInit(IStartupScreen* (*)(), IPlugIn*) + 28162 line just before the protective shutdown.
I think we're seeing quite a few problems with 10.8 that may be related to a change in Apple code (just a gut feeling) that happened after CS6 was tested and released.

Issues signing out of DPS Folio Builder in Indesign CS6?

Hi - I work on about 12 magazines with DPS and am pretty consistently getting a sign out error
seems minor but try it several times an hour, not so minor.
Unable to actually sign out of an account and into another via the Indesign Folio Builder pallette,
it seems to lock me into the magazine/account and no options to sign on to another. So what ends up
happening is quitting Indesign in order to switch accounts.
As we also use a publishing system it also means a lot of bureaucracy to get back into what
ought to be a simple switch. Is Adobe going to address this type of 'power user' - aside from
the ability to have a master account for all our magazines? or at least to be signed in on
multiple accounts? or failing that the ability to have magzines nested or in folders. I can use
one sign on for our K4 system, could something similar be in the works for DPS?
I heard a rumour that the whole UI is going to be revamped away from Flash on the web
side, but what does this mean for the Indesign user, will the controls match? As a lead on
multiple projects and multiple teams something a bit more flexible would be welcome.

When you update InDesign CS6, do you see an option for updating the DPS Desktop Tools? You can manually update the DPS Desktop Tools here:

Problem with tab stops in InDesign CS6

Hi there.
I'm trying to align large numbers (with two stops) like
1.229
102.864
7.075
2.140.753
2.251.921
in Indesign CS6. Obviously I'd like them to align on the second dot.
After choosing OpenType > Tabular Lining from the Character Panel menu I am able to align them almost perfectly. However upon closer inspection I can see that the second dot is not aligned perfectly like it should. Why is that? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi Donvinoth,
Sure! If you look at the examples above, I've tried three different options and settings using the Minion Pro font. Selecting "OpenType > Tabular Lining is not even necessary as I've come to learn.
Example A: a normal textbox in which I've selected all the numbers and then chosen "Align right". The numbers then align perfectly on the second dot.
Example B: a normal textbox with several columns and different tabs options. You can see which one I've used on the individual columns by the title above. Notice how the decimal option is not aligning the numbers by the second dot? The only solution to the problem is to choose the "Right-justfied Tab" in the tab options, as shown in the last column. Aparently you can't make the decimal tab align on the second dot like this in InDesign yet but perhaps they'll make it possible in another version.
Example C: I've inserted a table into a textbox and and then used different tabs options on the columns; notice how the decimal tab is working like it should in this case? In order to insert a tab in a table you need to place your curser right in front of the number and then right-click your mouse, choose Insert special character > Other > Tab. You can also choose to make the row and column stroke invisible in the table Table options if need be, which will make it look exactly like a normal textbox.
This won't work with fonts like Dosis as it's not suitable for tabular work where you want figures to line up vertically like Spier said, so you need to choose a font like Minion Pro or something similar to it.
I'm not sure if that solves your problem. If not then please attach a picture of the issue you're having and I'll try my best to help you.
