Running InDesign on Tablets

I'm imagining what it would be like to work outside of the office and home on a highly portable tablet system. I've not owned an ipad or tablet in the past and must first ask whether it would be possible to run InDesign on either of these? I would prefer not to continue with laptops. Laptops space keyboard and screen uncomfortably close ergonomically, in my opinion, and it I suspect it might be nice to work in between a tablet with external keyboard on the go, and return home to the higher-end system with color correct monitor.
Are we years away from such tablets or is it possible to do right now, in some capacity? A dozen searches have produced answers only in the form of using InDesign for creating content viewable on tablets, not creating with InDesign on tablets.
The newest Samsung Galaxy 10 appears in a couple weeks, a formidable tablet, but whether it is capable of running InDesign is still question for me, with perhaps obvious answers for those who use tablets.

The only advantage is that it's a tablet and contrary to some of the hate out there, it's really pretty nice. I don't own one yet but with DPS support coming with Win 8.1 I will get one.
I don't disagree Bob. I suppose my no-advantage assertion was in the context of the OP's orginal statement:

    I am running InDesign CS5.5 and trying to open an In Design File but getting an error message. " Cannot open the file "PDavidLCover.indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file me be open in another application."Please help I really need to get this file open.

    Since you've shown us the folder contents it's a good bet it isn't in use (no lock file). And it doesn't look like the file is mis-named as there doesn't seem to be anything else there that would be the .indd file (but just in case, open it in TextEdit and paste the first few lines here so we can see what the file header says), so the most likely case is the file is damaged. Is that on a removable device of some sort?
    You can try the tool at Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X  or send me a link to the file by private message and I'll try the recovery tool I have for Windows.

  • Running InDesign CS 3 on Mac OS 10.6.4  snow leopard

    Will it work OK to run InDesign CS 3 (and Adobe Design Suite)  AND CS 5 on the same 17 inch MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.4?
    Will it work OK to run BOTH InDesign CS 3 AND CS 5 on the same computer running OS 10.6.4?
    Thank you.

    Thank you for your quick reply.
    So, CS 3  should be installed first? But I already installed CS 5. Will that make much of a difference? What might the problems be?
    I have 4 GB ram.

  • Can we run InDesign CS6 on a citrix environment?

    We are now working with InDesign CS4 on a Citrix environment and we would like to upgrade to InDesign CS6. Will this work? What version of Citrix is best used?

    Yes is the quick answer to the question.  This is pretty common in large organizations for design departments or knowledge workers that need access to Creative Suite applications.  Although most of the links and documents is on CS5, I have not heard about problems in CS6. InDesign does not require OpenGL hardware acceleration.
    Here are some links on the Adobe web site:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/documentation.html#citrix
    http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/indesign/pdfs/indesign_cs5_citrix_support _document.pdf
    (unfortunate typo in Adobe's document title)
    The Citrix Ready Community Verified site also has customer comments on how to run InDesign on XenApp 6.x.
    http://forums.citrix.com/thread.jspa?threadID=303877
    Judging from the number of votes (11) on http://community.citrix.com/citrixready/product/adobe+indesign+cs4+v6+0, there are numerous companies doing this, both on XenApp and XenDesktop, however it is hard to track who does what in our installed base.
    Hope this helps.

  • Unexplained System Crashes While Running InDesign

    I am running InDesign CS6 8.0.2 on a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.9. InDesign launches just fine, and I'm not getting any error messages. But once in a while my system just stops responding. I can't even force quit applications. I have to just manually power down by holding the power button. I thought it might be a hard drive issue, but I recently replaced my stock HD with a SSD, and the problem persists. And by the way, there is no application crash or error report available. The system just freezes completely and I have no option but to power down.
    The only common thread I can point to is that InDesign is running.
    Does anyone have suggestions about how to understand what is happening? If InDesign is causing the system to freeze, could it be a plugin or extension issue?
    I'm grateful for any support or ideas you might offer.

    I don't know that I can do anything to reproduce the freeze. What happens usually is that I open InDesign and work on a file. When finished, I save my work, and move to another task in a different application (managing email in the Chrome browser, for example). At some point in the future and with no apparent action to initiate the crash, my system stops responding.
    The crash has probably happened while I was using InDesign in the past, but most of the time I notice the system begin to lock up when I'm in the browser. I know, I know...maybe the browser is the culprit.
    I did look at the Extension Manager and noticed there were quite a few warning icons. When I hover over them, I see the message "Extension may not function properly because it does not meet the dependency condition."
    Does this information help track down the issue?

  • Running InDesign CC 2014 on Mac vs Windows

    I was wondering if anyone has had the opportunity to run InDesign CC 2014 on a Mac AND on Windows, and which one is better overall. I've noticed that it seems to take much longer to open a book file on Windows, but it takes less time to run a script (not normal operating procedure, I know). I notice other differences but I haven't used it much on Windows, so I'd like some opinions. My department is using Macs right now (OS 10.8.5) but we're connected to Windows servers and have had major problems searching the servers from the Macs, so I'm trying to decide whether or not to switch to Windows 7 running in Boot Camp.
    Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
    Lloyd

    Correct. You get what you pay for.
    I can tell you that running InDesign CC2014 on my MacBook Air is identical in every way to running it on the same machine under bootcamp with Windows 10.
    On my desktop running 8.1 with 16 GB or RAM an i7 processor and an SSD it’s quite speedy.
    Hope that helps.

  • I am running InDesign CC. Every time I try to redefine a paragraph style, it crashes.  It's just start doing it and I have had CC for a few months.  Any suggestions? Thank you

    Do you mean Toolkit or TypeKit, which is part of CC? See Remove minor corruption by exporting. If that doesn't work, try exporting the text to ID Tagged Text and place in a new file, and if that also fails, try removing the fonts.

    You might also ask the user to un-plug the keyboard, let the script run, and then plug in the 'board again. (Altho' that might lead to a practical problem: "Remove keyboard, then press any key to continue". I'll leave that to solve for the OP.)

  • Problem in running Indesign CS3 Server..............

    plzz help me out to run indesign server. i need this as soon as possible.....
    Thanks

    As you know CORBA is all about distributed architectures. So your approach should work. We put the notes in the documentation because we did not test the configuration you are using. Though there shouldn't be any problems, we just didn't feel comfortable claiming support for this configuration without testing against it.

  • Cannot run InDesign!

    I can't run InDesign trial version on my computer. There is a crash when I try to do it. I can only see a main menu for about one second, then it turn off and come back to desktop.
    Important technical parametres:
    Windows 7 Service Pack 1
    Lenovo Z580
    I would be grateful for any help.

    OK, that means the problem is either in the ID installation, or your system configuration, but I'm not quite sure how to proceed form here with the trial becasue I don't know if rmoving and reinstalling is posible for CC trials.
    Anyone?

  • I'm running Indesign CS5 & it appears my Adobe PDF presesets have stopped working. Can you help?

    I'm running Indesign CS5 & it appears my Adobe PDF presesets have stopped working. Can you help?

    It's under utilities in the window menu.
    If the simple PDF works, that may indicate a problem with the file after all, but one way to to force the export to the foreground is to create a new Book (File > New > Book), then add the file that's giving you trouble to that book. (a Book is just a container format used to combine multiple .indd files into a single output)
    From the Book panel flyout menu you can export to PDF and see what that does. Failure indicates a file problem, success a background task problem.
    It's a little odd that you aren't getting an error message....
    Anyway, if the problem is the file, try export in two halves. If both halves export, it's a system resources problem and not much you can do other than attempt to see what is using all the memory (probably some large complex vector object, or many vector objects) or just do the export in chunks that work and combine them in Acrobat Pro. If one half fails, try exporting half  fo the failing half at a time. Keep dividing the failing half until you isolate a page with the problem.

  • How to run Indesign CS6 as a service

    Is there any posiblity to run indesign CS6 as a service, in a separate server or PC?

    You could use InDesign Server, that can be run as a service. Have a look at its documentation for more details.

  • I am unable to run InDesign

    Help, I am unable to run InDesign on my MacBook Pro.
    When i open the program, the loading icon starts, and it wont stop!
    Daniel Maul

    Try holding down Cmd Option Shift when starting and follow the reset preferences dialog box.
    If that won't come up, you may want to try trashing your system preferences or something? Maybe someone else can help you out with Mac tech problems, because it's been a long time since I used one and I don't want to give you false information.

  • Can i run InDesign CC on two computers simultaneously?

    As the subject says: Can i run InDesign CC on two computers simultaneously? We run CC for Teams.

    Hi PerGronroos,
    You  can run InDesign or any Adobe products from the Creative Cloud as long as they are running under two different Adobe ID.
    Please let us know if you have any questions.
    Thanks.
