Repairing Corrupt Windows User Profile for InDesign CS4

InDesign CS4 began crashing upon startup earlier today. I tried deleting preferences, both through the automatic (Ctrl-Alt-Shift upon startup) and manual (deleting Version 6.0 folder from Local and Roaming profiles) methods, and uninstalling/reinstalling the application, but neither worked. The first tier technical support suggested that I launch INDD from a new admin profile, which worked successfully. I am now looking for guidance on finding the source of corruption within my primary user profile.
I am running InDesign CS4 6.0.4 under Windows 7 64-bit.

Not that I can tell. Here is the event that posts in the Application Log when I start InDesign through the usual method:

Essbase client missing after creation of new windows user profile

I created a new windows user profile after an apparent corruption of my old one. However, when I open Excel, the Essbase client (add-in) is gone. Smartview is still there. The client doesn't show up after registering Essbase Add-In is executed. I can add the client by navigating to C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin and selecting essxleqd.xla and essxcln.xll. The add-in then appears to be installed. However, when I try to connect to Essbase, the connection dialog box does not show up. I'm on version 11.1.1.3 and Excel 2007.
Is there a way to resolve this short of re-installing the client? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
dave

I remember the Essbase add-in used to be a small executable of a few MB that was easy to install. It's my understanding that they went to the global installer where they include various product assemblies. The files needed to run the global installer for a simple add-in amount to close to about 4GB in size. Our VPN for remote users is very slow and takes forever to install. I see ther is still a small executable for the Smartview install. Is there a small executable for the Essbase add-in somewhere that I'm not aware of? I can reinstall if that's what it takes. I was hoping there might something a bit less time consuming.
Thanks John.

Cannot add/ change user account - error with Microsoft-Windows-User Profiles Service

Hello
A few days ago my computer went wierd.
I cannot update windows because I get no results when I use "Windows Search"
My metro UI doesnt work properly. I cannot use it.
Somebody said that it could be that my User Account could be corrupted.
I tried to create I new one, but I could do the first steps, because the computer doesnt respond when I click "Change my account" in controlpanel.

What can I do?

Hi Intesabra,
Have you made any modifications to the machine before the issue?
First of all ,I would suggest you to update the machine manually.
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Update\Check for updates.
I also suggest you to perform a full scan with the antivirus software to eliminate the virus issue considering this issue is a little wierd. We can do this in safe mode to improve the scanning quality.
Run "services.msc" to check the status of "User Profiles Service" and ensure it is running.
Run "dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" or "sfc /scannow" to check the health of the whole system files.
Considering this issue occurred recently, we can perform a system restore to recover the machine to a previous point.
Best regards

Outlook clients unable to connect to Exchange / Windows user profile

Exchange 2010
Outlook 2010/2013
I've seen a dozen or so computers in the last few weeks with this problem. The user suddenly cannot connect to the Exchange server in Outlook. (Sorry, I don't have specific error messages for this part.)
If I try a repair on the Email account or try to create a new Mail profile, I get this error:
"The action cannot be completed. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."
I have verified all Exchange and mail security settings. Outlook configuration is not the problem.
I tried deleting %appdata%\microsoft\outlook and %localappdata%\microsoft\outlook.
I tried a repair on Microsoft Office.
I tried creating a new Mail profile for a different email account.
The only thing that has fixed this problem is a completely new Windows user profile, which tells me there is something else broken in the user profile. Does anyone have any idea what it might be?
Blog /
Twitter

Hi,
Please try to access Exchange via OWA.
This issue may occur when the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders registry key does not contain all of the required data. Specifically, these problems occur if the AppData string value is missing from this
registry key.
To resolve this issue, import the User Shell Folders registry key from a working Windows User Profile.
Steps to perform on a working computer
Start Registry Editor. Click Start , type regedit in the Search programs and files box, and then press Enter.
Locate and then select the following registry subkey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
On the File menu, click Export.
Specify the name of the .reg file and then click Save.
Copy the .reg file to the computer exibiting this problem.
Close Registry Editor.
Steps to perform on the computer displaying the above error(s)
Start Registry Editor.
On the File menu click Import.
Locate and select the .reg file exported from the working computer.
Click Open.
Close Registry Editor.
Best Regards.

Slow installation for indesign CS4 trial

I have downloaded the trial issue for indesign cs4 and try to install it on my PC, it is really slow, it is about 10 hours now and the install progression is only at "Adobe Output Module", it is about 25% of the total installation if I look at progress bar.
My computer is an Acer Aspire 7720, Intel core duo, cpu 2 GHz, RAM 3 Go and 250 Go of Hard drive.
I have followed the instruction to disabled the Antivirus program and Firewall too. So how to speed up this install, it is the first time I encountered that kind of problem.

User Access Control and Pain In The Arse.
There's something going on with the system if the profile check is taking two hours. How much free space is left on the hard drive?
Is there some sort of minimum-required configuration you can boot to, similar to running MSconfig in XP and turning off startup programs and non-Microsoft services? It really sounds like there is still something running in the background that is conflicting. You are certain that anti-virus is not running? I'd also be sure that no browser toolbars are loaded, nor any instant messenger or music programs, and have a local printer, rather than a network printer, set as the default and online.

Do you have hindi fonts for InDesign CS4 and if so how much are they?

Do you have hindi fonts for InDesign CS4 and if so how much are they?

Adobe does offer a few Unicode fonts that support Hindi I'd expect that you'd be asking for Devanagari fonts, though. Have you ever done any Hindi typesetting? I mean, when we typeset English we don't do it in "English fonts" but in "Latin-script fonts."
There are two main classes of Devanagari fonts - the more common, older fonts where someone took a Latin-script font, erased the characters, and replaced them with Devanagari glyphs, versus contemporary Unicode fonts. The first class are wonky, hard to use, and quite common. If you're in-country you will find lots of ways to buy those kinds of fonts. You also can use them in InDesign without needing any scripts or plugins to turn on the World-Ready Composer. I find Unicode fonts to be much easier to use, to automatically compose according to proper rules regarding behavior of glyphs - but to use them in CS4, you'd need something like World Tools or IndicPlus. I'm a World Tools user myself but if you're going to be doing only Hindi work in CS4, I'd suggest that you look at IndicPlus first.
In short - it's deeper than it looks. If you want to tell us more about what you're trying to do, we might be able to give you better advice.

Create unique user profiles for each separate session

Hi,
How can I configure TS environment so that each user (who logs onto Windows using the same generic Windows user ID) gets their own unique Windows user profile.
For example, imagine a scenario where the users are logging onto Windows using the shared user "SYSTEMAPP"
The intention is to configure the TS server's Windows, so that it creates unique user profiles for each separate session, for example:
- SYSTEMAPP
- SYSTEMAPP.000
- SYSTEMAPP.001
- SYSTEMAPP.002 (etc...)
The server version for TS is Windows Server 2012 and not joined to AD. User IDs are created at Local Users and Groups.
Kindly advise.

Hi Susie,
Just to illustrate my point further. Let's say a user logged into the server using user ID SYSTEMAPP for the first session. So, if
you browse the folders in the server, you'll be able to see this:
C:\Users\SYSTEMAPP
Then, another user logged into the same server as SYSTEMAPP user using other session. In this case, my intention is to configure the
server to create another unique user profile as below:
C:\Users\SYSTEMAPP.000
Subsequently, if more users logged in using the same account, the unique counter number will keep on adding...
C:\Users\SYSTEMAPP.001
C:\Users\SYSTEMAPP.002
C:\Users\SYSTEMAPP.003
Previously, I checked from my third party software vendor that this can be done but I still cracking my head on this which is why led me
to this forum.
Kindly advise.

Cannot select ldap user profile for SGD Global Admin

Hi all,
I'm trying to select some ldap users to be in the SGD Global Administrators role, but I am unable to check the check box next to the user profile once I navigate to the account. There is no check box to check.
I am actively using LDAP for regular user auth and application assignment, so I know my LDAP "works" in that sense, I just can't use it to assign global admins.
Any thoughts?
Adam

The only way to do this is to create a user profile for the (would-be) admin account. And since they're an LDAP user, you'll have to use LDAP mirroring to do this. For example, let's say the user you want is "cn=Joe Admin, ou=Users, dc=example, dc=com"
Go to "User Profiles", and browse to/open:
dc=com
cd=example
create the directory object "ou=Users"
Inside of "ou=Users", create the user profile object "cn=Joe Admin"
Add this user object to the Global Administrators role.

Trying to load my Photoshop CS3 onto new Mac Book Air. Why does it ask for InDesign CS4 part way through?

Loading my Photoshop CS3 onto new Mac Book Air. Why does it ask for InDesign CS4 part way through? I have a CS5.5 disc. Will suffice?

that doesn't make sense. you will only be prompted for earlier adobe versions when installing a latter upgrade version.
double check your versions.
also, you might want to clean your computer before retrying to install, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Missing plug-ins for InDesign CS4? Fehlende Zusatzmodule für InDesign CS4?

Missing plug-ins for InDesign CS4? Fehlende Zusatzmodule für InDesign CS4?
Hello! Hallo!
I am working with CS4 on the Mac OS X, version 10.6.8. I created some InDesign files with it a couple of weeks ago. When I want to open them now again, it shows me a long list of plug-ins that I supposedly have to activate first or I need to buy the newest CS as an alternative.1. How did this problem come off? 2. How can I activate the missing plug-ins?
Ich arbeite mit CS4 auf einem Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. Habe damit vor einigen Wochen mehrere InDesign Dateien erstellt. Wenn ich sie jetzt wieder öffnen möchte, zeigt er mir eine lange Liste von Zusatzmodulen an, die ich angeblich aktivieren muss bzw als Alternative das aktuellste CS kaufen soll.
1. Wie ist das Problem zustande gekommen? 2. Wie kann ich die benötigten Zusatzmodule aktivieren?
Thank you all! Danke schön!

Actually, Indesign only says like "I can't open, because it was saved from a newer version" and does not list any extensions/plugins.
If you now make a new document, save it and open again - will it work?
Those plug-ins are usually enabled/disabled via the Adobe Extension Manager (Menü "Hilfe"->Erweiterungen verwalten).

Flash runs really slow until we delete the Windows user profile, any idea why?

We are distributing some web based education content using flash and we have a very small percentage of users (running XP) that experience extreme slowness when playing the flash file. We have discovered that if we delete and the recreate the local Windows user profile, then this resolves the issue. So my question is, what is being cached locally that could be causing this problem and where is it located in the user profile so we can just go delete those files and not have to go through the long process of removing and adding the users to the PC again?
In case it helps, the flash file we are playing was exported using Captivate4.
Thanks,
Tim

Could you have the effected user's delete the following folders and see if they speed swf?
close all browser windows
open Windows Explorer
in the address bar type %appdata%\Adobe
delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there
in the address bar type %appdata%\Macromedia
delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there
Thanks,
Chris

Worflow failed to get user profile for user

I have a workflow that sends an email to a user. In the workflow email, one line has the lookup [%User Profiles:Name%], with Return field "As String" of the list item Field "Account Name" with Value "Current Item:Created By".
This workflow works for everyone, except it Errors when one user creats an item in this list. The error is "Workflow failed to get user profile for user... System Account - An error has occurred in Workflow Name"
and more detailed error found in logs: "AutoStart Workflow: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: Recursive workflows are not permitted.     at Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow.SPWorkflowAutostartEventReceiver.<>c__DisplayClass1.<AutoStartWorkflow>b__0(SPSite

When I run "get-addomain -identity [FQDN]", I noticed that our DNSRoot has a totally different name than our NetBIOSName, so I followed this article and made sure to set netbiosdomainnamesenabled to TRUE:
http://meandmysharepoint.blogspot.ca/2012/09/netbiosdomainnamesenabled-and.html
To give you an idea of our setup, our DNSRoot is "abc.domain.com" and our NetBIOSName is "TESTING"; 2 totally different names. When I run "get-addomain -identity [FQDN]", the Name field is: "abc" (just the first
part of the DNSRoot); therefore, when I look up this user's profile in Sharepoint Manage User Profiles, his account shows as "abc\username" when it should be "TESTING\username".
I did an IISReset, and I ran a Full Profile Sync. But the workflow still Errors for this user.
Any ideas how to fix this? Should I delete MySites and User Profile Service application and recreate them?
Any tips would be appreciated.
thanks!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when sending an email to the user in workflow.
Did you delete the existing Connections before setting NetBiosDomainNamesEnabled?
If not, I recommend to delete and recreate your AD connections, then set NetBiosDomainNamesEnabled to true.
Or you can delete the original User Profile Service Application and create a new one, then set the NetBiosDomainNamesEnabled to true and start the User Profile Service Application
synchronization.

[Ann] QR Code for InDesign CS4 and up

Ever needed to create a QR code? There are literally hundreds of free QR code generators on the web, but they all have the same drawbacks:
1. They typically deliver a PNG, either 'click here to download', or you have to drag it somewhere yourself.
2. It's typically an RGB image, so the cautious designer will start up Photoshop to convert it to a monochrome image.
3. .. so you get a file to store somewhere ..
4. ... and after seeing four of them you cannot remember which QR code said what ...
5. .... and, you cannot use such site in a batched environment (well, maybe some people can by building a proper URL, call the website, wait for a response, etc. I bet it's difficult for your average scripter.)
So I had a go on converting one of the existing Javascript solutions -- Patrick Wied's, in case you're curious -- into a construction fit for InDesign. All you have to do is download the zip: http://www.jongware.com/binaries/jw_qrcode.zip -- unpack it, and save the file "QRCode.jsxbin" in your local User Script folder. It ought to be compatible with InDesign CS4 and upwards, for both Mac and Windows.
When it appears in your Script Panel, you can double-click to run and
1. with nothing selected, it prompts for text and error recovery settings, and will place a proper monochrome TIFF bitmap of (approximately) a useful dimension in the center of your current page.
2. with an empty rectangle selected, the new QR code will be placed inside it.
3. with some text selected, the text field will be pre-filled with this.
4. With a QR Code selected which you created earlier using this same tool, the text field will contain the original text, and the quality setting will be retrieved. You can cancel the dialog if you only wanted to know what it said, or change the text or quality.
5. You can call this script from another script to perform batch operations. It accepts two required arguments, and one optional, in this order: text, Error Correction level (1-4), and optionally a destination rectangle to place it in:
app.doScript(new File(app.activeScript.path+'/qrcode.jsxbin'), ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, ["hello", 1, app.selection[0]], UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "Call QR Code");
6. Since it's a monochrome bitmap TIFF with enough resolution (at its default size it's 200 dpi), you can use the swatches palette to change the white or black parts to another color, or even make one transparent.
7. It's just a small file, and so I decided to always have it automatically embed. That way you can never loose it. The image first has to be created in a temporary file (default location: (Temp)/qrcode.tiff, where (Temp) is your local Temporary Files folder). If this fails for some of you (there always seem to be overly prudent IT professionals who seem to despise users storing files willy-nilly), I'll have to think of something else.
Note: this version only supports plain text mode, not numeric, alphanumeric, or Kanji. Text is converted to UTF-8; for the most common purpose -- web pages -- it should work normally.
Enjoy!
Based entirely on Patrick Wied's implementation of a basic QR Code generator. Patrick Wied dutifully notes
I do not guarantee any resulting QR code generations or detections, use this application at your own risk! - this project is just a study project (non commercial).
and so I advise to always check your generated code using a good QR Code reader.

To give back to community, here is the script to generate QR codes for business cards created by data merge
It reads text frames starting with MECARD:, empties them and places QRcode rotated 15 degrees counterclockwise. Enjoy!
var _d = app.documents[0];
var _allStories = _d.stories;
for(var nx=_allStories.length-1;nx>=0;nx--){
    var _storyAllTextFrames = _allStories[nx].textContainers;
    for(var mx=_storyAllTextFrames.length-1;mx>=0;mx--){
         _storyAllTextFrames[mx].select(); // change page
         if(_storyAllTextFrames[mx].contents.indexOf('MECARD:')==0){
             var obj = app.doScript(new File(app.activeScript.path+'/qrcode.jsxbin'), ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, [_storyAllTextFrames[mx].contents]);
             _storyAllTextFrames[mx].contents = "";
            var myScaleMatrix = app.transformationMatrices.add({horizontalScaleFactor:.7,
                verticalScaleFactor:.7,counterclockwiseRotationAngle:15});
            obj.transform(CoordinateSpaces.pasteboardCoordinates,AnchorPoint.centerAnchor, myScaleMatrix);
             //obj.move ([_x,_y]);
