Question About Using InDesign CS6 Book Files

I am creating my first book file in InDesign CS6. It's not technically a book (with chapters and a TOC) but rather a collection of files that share the same style sheets.
Will there be any issues migrating from CS6 to CC?
Are there any other big issues I need to be aware of as a first time user of book files?
Thanks!

I would strongly recommend exporting the individual files from CS6 as .idml, then open and convert those in CC and add to a brand new Book (.indb). Don't overwrite any old files just in case.

  • Questions about Downloading InDesign CS6 for WIN

    I am trying to help an employee get Adobe InDesign CS 6 installed on his Windows Computer.
    We are wondering what the difference between these three options are when you are on the Download Program Page:
    Adobe InDesign CS6 Installer for Windows (English & Japanese)
    Adobe InDesign CS6 Installer Package for Windows (English & Japanese)
    or Adobe InDesign and InCopy CS6 Content Installer for Windows (Multi-Language)?
    Are ALL of these programs necessary for him to download? He is worried about the size of some of these files, and if he is duplicating himself by downloading all three download options.
    Also,  does he need to download all three of the following files, too?  Can you tell me what each of these do?

    Hi Momadog007,
    Adobe InDesign CS6 Installer for Windows (English & Japanese)
    Adobe installer contains the extractor (.exe) that is used to extract .7z (compress) files. Size is about 1 Mb.
    Adobe InDesign CS6 Installer Package for Windows (English & Japanese
    The installer package contains the main setup file. The file is downloaded in .7z format (7z is an archive file, like .ZIP or .RAR; with similar and in many cases better compression) which we may decompressed using the previous downloaded CS6 installer or any other extraction tool such as winzip/winrar.
    Adobe InDesign and InCopy CS6 Content Installer for Windows (Multi-Language)
    The content installer contains some additional fonts that you may copy in the font folder in Windows
    You may simply download the Installer package and extract it with winzip/winrar or with the extractor available as a part of first download.
    Application Manager Ent Edition: You can use Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition (AAMEE) 3.1 to create installation packagesas

  • InDesign CS6 book files crash

    InDesign CS6 crashed when I was editing hyperlinks in a book. When I reopened the program, instead of 9 chapter files, I have 45 and all are untitled. What should I do ? Open the files from my most recently saved chapter files? Create a new indb file?

    When you restart after a crash ID uses the recovery data to attempt to rebuild all the files that were open when the program crashed, but it will do this as untitled copies for safety.
    You can open the last saved version of any file that was open most times, too, unless the crash occured during a write operation and damaged the file. My tendency is to do a save as to a new name on the recovered files and not overwtite the originals, just in case, but that can be problematic if you have inter-file cross-references. You should be able to either make a new book file, or replace individual documents in the existing book with the new versions.

  • Question about using third party jar files in Java Web Start Environment

    Hi everybody, I got a very strange problem and still can't figer out how to solve it. Can anyone help to overcome this problem?? Thanks in advance.
    Question: I wrote a simple java swing application to connect to Oracle database. I packed whole my classes and a third party jar file(classes12.jar) to a new jar file named "IRMASSvrMgntGUI.jar" and then use command 'jarsigner' to signed IRMASSvrMgntGUI.jar. There is no problem when I execute 'java -jar IRMASSvrMgntGUI.jar' in the command line. But when I execute this application via Web Start Environment, an "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/jdbc/driver/OracleDriver

    META-INF/
    classes12.jar
    DBAuthenticateDialog.class
    DBConnection.class
    IRMASSvrMgntGUI.class
    ====================================

    If you directly include classes12.jar in IRMASSvrMgntGUI.jar, the classloader won't be able to find the classes inside classes12.jar. You should sign classes12.jar separately and include that in jnlp along with your application specific jar. When you're launching your app using "java -jar somefile.jar" then the classpath settings in manifest file are used, but that's not the case when you start using JWS since in this case the classpath is based only on the " <jar href=..." entries in jnlp.

  • How do I save my file using InDesign CS6 so that it can be opened with CS5?

    I know other people asked similar questions but I can't find anything that helps me figure my issue out.
    Basically, I packaged my file using InDesign CS6. When I sent it to the person it needed to be sent to, she couldn't open it. She was running CS5.
    So now I'm trying to REpackage it still using CS6 but when I make an IDML version and try to package it, it says that I need to SAVE it. Well the only options are CS6, which I can't use again, and another IDML version. If I did the IDML it would just save it as another untitled document and then I'd have to start all over.
    Actually I just tried that, and InDesign crashed.
    Any suggestions?

    Hey,
    There is no such function in InDesign as 'saving to a lower version' (as it is in e.g. FrameMaker). There are interchange formats: obsolete INX (CS2,CS3,CS4) and current IDML (CS5, CS5.5, CS6).
    You need to export (ctrl+e) previously saved document into IDML and attach to existing INDD file (Attaching is not necessary as IDML is a self-sufficient file). Also it's a really good idea to attach a PDF file (from CS6) as there might be some differences when opening a IDML from higher file in lower version program.
    Final package could look like this:
         Document fonts
         Links
              original file.indd
              original file.idml
              original file.pdf
    best regards
    Kuba

  • Editing Photoshop CS6 file using InDesign CS6

    I need to edit a Photoshop CS6 file using InDesign CS6. Specifically, I am editing a business card and want to make changes to the layered components (for example: changing color hues, changing logo, changing fonts) and I know nothing about InDesign. Can anyone give me some pointers?

      The thing is, I don’t have Photoshop or Illustrator; I only have InDesign CS6 and I want to do the following:
    Deepen the colors
    Swap the logo for another one
    Change the font
    I am not able to access the layers because I used the place function to insert the jpeg file in the InDesign document. I remember once being able to access the layered document, but I don't remember how. I tried opening the Photoshop file using InDesign, but it doesn't come up as a readable file.

  • Can I use InDesign cs6 to open and work with PM6.5 files?

    Can I use InDesign cs6 to open and work with PM6.5 files?

    Lrak wrote: "It sounds like I should to that before endeavoring to transfer the manuscript?" (re-link)
    It should be much easier to re-link in the Pagemaker file, as, with any luck, you can get the filenames from the Graphics Manager.  After conversion to InDesign, any out-of-date linked images get their names converted to something like "image 123.jpg", and are themselves converted to an embedded low res representation of the image.  Even vectored art.  Pretty hard to figure them out, unless you are VERY familiar with the file, which you may be.
    It may be that any cropping gets lost, too?  I do prepress work, we do some set up for our customers, but most comes in pretty much ready to go, so I don't often have to did too deep into fixing such issues. On the other hand, any problem that can happen has probably crossed my desk, or it seems that way some days!

  • Will Adobe indesign cs6 books work with the adobe indesign creative cloud version?

    Will Adobe indesign cs6 books work with the adobe indesign creative cloud version?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I think, this question is a very good one.
    If I have a *.indb document created in CS6, populated with InDesign documents from CS6, what to do, if I want to migrate my workflow to the latest version of InDesign CC-2014?
    Short answer (avoiding trouble and headaches):
    1. Convert all your InDesign documents from CS6 to CC-2014 (*)
    2. Use NEW document file names for all your CC-2014 InDesign file types: *indd, *indt, *indl
    3. Build your *indb documents for CC-2014 anew.
    4. Use NEW document file names for CC-2014 InDesign file type: *indb
    But isn't that a tedious task to do?
    Yes. But fortunately there are some scripts around helping you with the conversion process.
    See Peter Kahrel's website. Especially:
    Free script Batch convert/export InDesign documents | Peter Kahrel
    There are others as well…
    Uwe
    *Before migration of the workflow batch export all InDesign CS6 documents to IDML and PDF.

  • How to create interactive pdf for Ipad using InDesign CS6

    Hi I created a Magazine layout using InDesign CS6 and wanted it to be viewed on native Ipad reader (but not as apps).  I put interactivity features like page navigations and hyperlinks and converted it to interactive pdf. The problem was the links and buttons are not showing on Ipad.
    I tried using Acrobat Pro to create the hyperlinks and this time the navigations and hyperlinks are showing. But is there a way not to create the hyperlinks manually one by one (specially the next page and previous page). If I have more than 100 pages of documents this process will be very tedious.
    Is there a solution to create the interactive pdf directly from InDesign without creating the links in Acrobat?

    Hi Guys
    This is Sean Smith.  Marilou who wrote the original post works for me.  Bob if you could point us in the direction of details you need I’ll ensure we provide the additional information as soon as possible.
    M tells me she pretty much doing exactly what Steve's article suggests.
    The concern is what a remarkably cumbersome process this appears to be.
    Even though I believe her explanation entirely I find the problem to be highly disconcerting as it’s wasting an immense amount of valuable time and inhibiting the production process significantly.
    She is producing wonderful results but via an immensely painstaking process fraught with potential for error.  Each page link has to be manually linked to the next by number.  It’s entirely possible to make a mistake and link to the incorrect page thus missing pages.
    If she inserts a new page – guess what? All the pages links have to changed manually and double checked yet again.
    If she makes a ‘Contents’ section as we do and exports the InDesign file as an interactive PDF all the contents items and links are missing and are therefore blank.
    She then has to export the document as a plain PDF and do the job again in Acrobat.
    For an extravagantly wealthy company with such extraordinarily expensive software I find this to be entirely incredulous.
    Who is the Product Manager for InDesign?
    Are they aware of this issue?
    What are they doing about it and when will it be done?
    Just curious are you guys paid employees or volunteers as this appears to be an official forum and we are new here?
    Digital publishing of PDF magazines appears to be an explosive growth market especially for platforms such as the iPad but this primary product for the task appears to be inadequate or ill-conceived.
    Is DPS a possible solution or is this more for Apps than PDF production?
    Regards
    Sean

  • Hi, I am using Indesign CS6, How to set the page size in Inches.

    Hi, I am using Indesign CS6, How to set the page size in Inches.

    All fields in InDesign can be entered in any measurement system. So, if you want to make an 8"x10" document and go to File>New Document and the window looks like this:
    …you can type either 8 in or 8" into the Width field like this:
    …and when you move to the next field, it will convert the eight inches into the equivalent number in the unit of measure that it is using at the moment, like this:
    … (203.2 milimeters is the same as 8 inches). You can also enter a different measurement unit into other fields once the file is created, such as the width or height of a frame, or the position of an object in the X and Y coordinates.
    If you would rather just work in inches instead of having to type the inches mark or abbreviation, go to InDesign>Preferences>General and select the Units & Increments tab. There you will see Ruler Units for Horizontal and Vertical at the top of the window. Set them to Inches and all of the fields will display in inches. If you do that to an open document, you will change the unit of measure for that document. If you do it while no documents are open, it will change the unit of measure for any new documents you create. To change the unit of measure for existing documents, you will have to open each and make the change.

  • Using InDesign CS6 onWindows PC.  Apple icon and traffic lights in L top corner are missing.

    Using InDesign CS6 onWindows PC.  Apple icon and traffic lights in L top corner are missing and so are some of the editing features.  I fixed this once before by accident but can't remember how I did it.  All I remember is it had something to do with the veiw % in other applications - I think!

    I've been using a tutorial that is obviously been done on a Mac.
    I used to have a link somewhere that was basically a list of all of the differences between the two platforms, but I can't lay hands on it. I'm sure if you asked us about the features that were missing or broken, we could answer fairly easily - you know, like "Preferences are under the InDesign menu on a Mac, but in Windows they're under Edit."
    The worst of these differences is in keyboard shortcuts - Macs have an extra modifier key, so whenever I switch platforms I always spend twenty minutes flopping my hands around and muttering uncomplimentary things about Cupertino and Redmond, at least until muscle memory takes over.

    Not as such.
    Give the AppleTV units unique names and also enable Airplay password in settings with unique passwords for each teacher.

  • Hi, I have quick question about use of USEBEAN tag in SP2. When I specify a scope of SESSION for the java bean, it does not keep the values that I set for variable in the bean persistent.Thanks,Sonny

     

    Make sure that your bean is implementing the serializable interface and that
    you are accessing the bean from the session with the same name.
