Resolution of indesign (8.0.2) on mac retina

How can I resolve the issue that the dialog boxes of indesign are not fitting the high resolution on a mac retina?

InDesign 8.0.x does not support Retina displays, so you're stuck with what you have.
Retina support required a complete rewrite of the program code, and that was rolled into the CC (version 9) release.

  • Where can I find a patch for Indesign and Acrobat cs6 for mac retina display?

    I have found the patch for screen resolution for photoshop, but the illustrator patch says it is not compatible and I cannot locate one for in-design (my primary program) or Acrobat. There must be a patch, right? Or else whats the point of it?

    The patch is upgrading to InDesign CC, which requires an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. Sorry.
    There is no Acrobat CS6. The last version is Acrobat XI which was created too late to include support for Retina Display. It will probably be in the next version of Acrobat.
    Creating "patches" for Retina Display are much more engineering intensive than you would expect. In the case of InDesign, it had to be completed in the context of moving to becoming a 64 bit application and moving application development from Carbon to Cocoa (a required move on the Mac accomplished finally in InDesign CC).

  • Unable to open indesign after migration to new mac all other programs open and work.

    Unable to open indesign after migration to new mac all other programs open and work. Why? Running Yosemite 10.10.1 Indesign CS5

    The keyword is "migration." Migrating or copying files for Adobe applications usually does not work. Not all of the necessary subsidiary files are copied to the right location.
    You'll need to first clean up the mess with this tool:

  • Test: Using Crop marks in indesign CS4 with Epson 3800 Mac 10.5.7

    Jun 19, 2009 9:35 PM
    Crop marks using indesign CS4 with Epson 3800 Mac 10.5.7
    My crop marks and pages are printing larger than my document sizes.  My paper size is 13x19, so I should have crop marks at the exact corners of the page sizes.  But indesign is printing the entire document larger.  So my document which is 11x14.75 is now printing 11.25x15.5.  All my settings are correct. So, is anyone else using an Epson 3800 with CS4 indesign having issues such as the above?  And can I ask (beg) a few of you to do a test print with crop marks and let me know the results?
    My workflow has been completely stalled because I can't get my pages to print the right sizes with the crop marks at the right measurements.  I'm printing a photo portfolio on the Lumijet double sided paper and "when" it did work awhile back sometime several months ago, the finals looked great. I've already reinstalled both the Epson 3800 driver and the Indesign CS4 software, but the results are still the same.
    So, here are my settings:
    document size: 11x14.75
    in the print panel:
    Printer: Epson 3800
    Setup: Paper size: Super A3/B13x19, scale 100% width & height, page position Centered
    Marks & Bleed: Marks: "Crop Marks" checked. offset: 0, weight: .25, Bleed and Slug: Use Document bleed settings, include slug area.  The bleed is 0 for top, bottom, left and right
    Color Management: Document profile: Adobe RGB, Options: Indesign handles colors, Printer Profile: (A custom made profile using Xrite for the 3800 with Lumijet paper)
    The settings on the Epson 3800
    Epson 3800 Printer
    Presets (set for the profile mentioned above)
    No Color management
    Sometimes, on a whim, the printer and indesign cooperate together like good little children should. But not often.  And I can not conclude why they are nice to each other sometimes, but given the same detailed data at other times, they fight.
    If anyone could run through a similar process using indesign with a photo layout and setting up the printer settings for both the Epson 3800 and in the indesign program and let me know their results, I would value your conclusions very much.  You don't even have to waste paper or ink.  Finally, after wasting so many pages of paper and of ink. I deleted the photos from the page, and printed it blank with only the crop marks for me to measure if it was coming out right or not.
    Thank you for any response.  And feel free to call me if you want to vent about Epson 3800's or about Indesign CS4 anytime! I'm up late....  646 256 8853.

    I specified the paper size as strictly 13x19, no boarderless, no retain size.  Same problem.   I also did as you suggested below.  The pdf document does remain true to the document.  As a pdf doc. I changed the color mgmt to Adobe rgb 1998.  It looks okay, but not as lively as I get when printing correctly with my color mgmt working and in sync. 
    Your final question about simply using photoshop.  Well... I might go back to it and give up on Indesign if this is the case that it won't simply crop my documents to the sizes that I input them to be cropped as.  But, I am using Indesign so that I can create a page layout that I can't do in Photoshop.  My folio is about 25 or more pages with double page spreads.  I am printing on a two-sided Lumijet paper and my folio was custom designed to be cut out at 11x14.75.  If and when it is printed correctly, I am printing on both sides of the paper and trimming it to exact size.
    It sounds as if you have exhausted the potential problems and don't have a clear explanation for why the doc isn't printing correctly in Indesign either with the color mgmt. or the document sizes.  I'll try one more print using a different color profile similar enough to get at minimum, an okay print. If it doesn't print at least okay, then it isn't most likely my profile..... Okay done.  Crazy.  The color is inaccurate, but for some reason or another, the document size printed correctly. It measured exactly 11x14.75.  What I have done during this period of time is:
    First) I did as you suggested and turned the Print to Adobe PDF 9 and created a print there. I measured it and it did measure correctly.  I didn't love the color, but... at least it is measuring correctly. 
    Second) I turned the Printer back to Epson 3800 (I'm beginning to think that this simple gesture was what caused the printer to print correctly)  I didn't change any settings, but I did make sure that they were set correctly as before. The paper size was set to 13x19.  When I make sure this setting is right in the "printer" dialogue for the Epson 3800, and then switch back to ID, the printer dialogue in Id changes to "Define by Printer."  But I changed nothing, other than the profile to an older one that I used before. The color is still inaccurate, but at least for two prints just now back to back, the measurements were correct.   What to do? Lol.
    Thanks again for all of your time spent trying to resolve this issue.
    Sincerely,
    Thaddeus

  • Photo resolution in InDesign 6

    I am just learning InDesign, but I'm pretty good in Photoshop. I want to design a form  on which we can display (on letttersize paper) our photo collection. The form will have various bits of information and, most importantly, the photo.
    Is it possible to display the photo (usually smaller than the actual photo) such that I can link to the original at its 300 resolution in its original location in order to print it out for patrons.?
    In general, how do you deal with resolution in InDesign?

    The cloud versions do not. They would require OSX 10.7.5 and soon OSX 10.9:

  • Can I install Adobe InDesign CS5 on a Power Mac G5 running OS 10.5.8?

    Can I install Adobe InDesign CS5 on a Power Mac G5 running OS 10.5.8?

    first thing to try is reset InDesign:
    delete the preference file located here:
    system > users > home folder > library > peferences > com.adobe.InDesign.plist
    then repair the hard drive:
    shut down the Mac
    restart - then press shift key immediately after the chime
    keep pressing shift untill the Apple logo appears
    let the Mac boot to the desktop - it will take longer to boot as it is repairing the hard drive
    when desktop appears, restart the Mac normally

  • How to execute the InDesign Javascript from outside in MAC

    Hi All,
    I need to execute the InDesign Javascript from outside in MAC machine.
    Anyone can help me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Ramkumar

    If you just want to imitate double clicking a file, use execute() method, e.g.:
    var myJavaScriptFile = new File("~/Desktop/Test.jsx");
    myJavaScriptFile.execute();
    At the top of your .jsx file type #target indesign to make the script run in InDesign.
    And I want to add to what Harbs said in the previous post: when you use do script command, you can also send parameters and get back values. See DoScriptParameters and DoScriptReturnValues sample scripts from InDesign CS3 Guide Scripts for details.

  • Indesign CS6 display issues on macbook retina

    Hi
    Can anybody help? I have recently got indesign cs6 for my macbook pro retina and to my horror discovered it is not capable of displaying properly on the reitna. I also understand there is no quick fix for this, in fact it wont be fixed. So the display is pixilated, does anybody know whether or not plugging the mac into a non retina display monitor will overcome this issue or is it the way the retina reads the software? Basically will it still look pixilated on a monitor? Please help me

    that's why i am asking, i'm not tech savvy (cleary) but i wondered if it was the screen on the mac or the way the mac manages the software. It sounds like a silly question (to you) but i thought a seperate monitor that isnt HiRes may display it better or does a monitor just replicate the screen of the mac....see this is how little i know!
