Save As in Indesign

When I do a SAVE AS in Indesign and rename it is there a way when I EPS the file to have the new name come up instead of the previous name?

Any exports will take on the file name until you change it. From that point on, the changed file name will carry on.
BTW, why do you need EPS files out of InDesign?

  • I can't save an old InDesign file to the new version

    I can't save an old InDesign file to the new version. I keep getting this message:
    I can only save the file as .IDML.

    This happens to ALL old InDesign files on my iMac (problem does not happen on my Macbook pro). I have saved the files as .idml and opened them again. I get the same error when I try to save the file as .indd. They can ONLY be saved as .idml.
    I never embed images and do not have font issues (file was created on the same iMac as it is being opened on now).
    Sometimes I get an error when I first try to open an old file - it ays the file is damaged and can't be opened. I try again right after and it opens fine.

  • Save and close InDesign file CS4 JS

    Hi, I need to save and close InDesign file after export pdf was done. Once export is complete the script opens the pdf file and the script gets interrupted. Here what I was trying and I am not sure if it even in the right direction:
    #targetengine "session"
    main();
    function main(){
        var myApplicationEventListener = app.eventListeners.add("afterExport",
        mySaveInDesign, false);
        var myDocumentEventListener = app.documents.item(0).eventListeners.add
        ("afterExport", mySaveInDesign, false);
        app.scriptPreferences.version = 6.0;
    var myEventNames = ["afterExport"] ;
    function mySaveInDesign(myEvent){
        var myDocument = myEvent.parent;
        saveInDesign ();
    function saveInDesign (){
        //myDocument.save(myDocument);
        app.activeDocument.save(myDocument);
        app.activeDocument.close(myDocument);
    Your help is highly appreciated.

    Save either takes no argument (equivalent to the File/Save menu option) or a file path, equivalent to File/Save As.
    So, your save commands aren't going to work as written. You either need just save(); or save(myDocument.fullName);

  • When I save a CS6 InDesign file as an .idml file InDesign crashes and sends a report to Adobe.

    When I save a CS6 InDesign file as an .idml file InDesign crashes and sends a report to Adobe.
    When I restart InDesign the .idml file is in the directory as well as a locked InDesign file.
    I cannot open the .idml file, instead I get the message:
    Cannot open "" file. Adobe InDesign maynot support the file format,
    a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing,
    or the file may be open in another location.
    I can however open an InDesign .idml file that was saved from InDesign CC software.
    InDesign CC software is also unable to open the .idml file that I created in CS6.

    It seems to be a corrupted IDML file. Does it happen with every file or only with that one.
    What is the content of that file? Did you embed images or graphics or did you ink them? Size?
    Maybe that this would help you: Re: InDesign 6 is crashing when attempting to open a particular document. All others are opening OK.

  • How to save the current Indesign defaults file?

    Hi, I've tried following the Indesign Classroom in a book but I find it left a lot to be desired for anyone new to this e.g ME!!!!. So can someone please tell me how I can save the current InDesign defaults file on a windows and if you can please do so like you would, for lack of a better word or term, an idiot because I'm fitting that description pretty well right now. Any help will be greatly appreciated and you will forever in my mind be a god, thank you =DDDDD.

    Hi, im not too sure (I thought it was a stock standard thing, sorry) so I'll fust give you the instructions my book has.
    To save the curren InDesign Defaults file, Follow these steps:
    1, Quit Adobe InDesigns CS5.
    2, Locate The Indesigns Defaults file.
         . In Windows, the InDesign Defaults file is located in the Documents and Settings/Users/Username/Library/ Application Data/ Adobe/ InDesign/ Version 7.0/en_US folder.
    3, Drag the Indesign Defaults file to another folder on you hard drive.
    When you launch Adobe Indesign CS5 after moving the InDesigns Defaults file to another folder, a new InDesign Defaults file is automatically created and all prefrences and defaults are reset to their original factory setting.
    Okay that's all of it and as far I can get is to the app data, for some reason my notebook doesnt have it and I've been trying to find other ways of getting to it but im having no luck. I would really like to avoid the Ctrl+ Alt+Shift thing because I'll apparently lose any saved settings that I might want to keep.
    Hopefully that all makes sense, thank you for responding and your time =3.

  • How to save down from InDesign Creative Cloud version to CS5? Have exported as .idml file but still get messages that plug-ins are missing although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

    How to save down from InDesign Creative Cloud version to CS5? Have exported as .idml file but still get messages that plug-ins are missing although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

    Yes. Thanks. I misled myself based on another post. Successfully did this by selecting "File," "Save a copy ..." then choosing "for CS4 or later (IDML)"
    It required some patience and several tries, but I think that was due to hardware (memory) being overloaded by CC Cloud version or something. It was a 50 MB, 500-page file and took 17 minutes to convert/save,
    Re-capping: from CCloud to CS5, don't use "Export" (to IDML); use "Save as" or "Save a copy" and select "for CS4 or later (IDML)".
    Advice much appreciated.

  • Hello, is there a way to export or save layers from Indesign to separate png or pdf -files?

    Hello, is there a way to export or save layers from Indesign to separate png or pdf -files? I have a Indesign document with serveral layers and I need them as separate png files.
    I know that is is possible with Illustrator but can't find it for Indesign.
    Thanks a lot.

    The script Peter's noting is in #122 here:
    how to export indesign layers to photoshop layers (same structure)
    It is OSX only and exports PDFs for creating Photoshop layers. The exported PDFs get trashed so if you can use AppleScript I can edit out the Photoshop part post a version that only saves the PDFs

  • "Can not Save file name " InDesign CS6 - Cloud---WTF!

    Hello anyone
    This new Cloud Adobe CS6 is SO buggy.
    not my first issue with it...
    I am using
    Cloud version of - but locally installed
    Trial version of CS6 InDesign.
    iMac - mountain lion 10.8.1
    i7/12Gig RAM. SSD, and 1 T platter drive.
    Anyway-
    After many HOURS of InDesign work.
    Many pages, lots of stuff.
    I exported my work as PDF to send to my boss. Worked fine.
    But I can't save the working file.
    All Save menu items are grayed out.
    The astericks is there in the window title.
    When I just close the file- I am prompted to Save the file or lose my work.
    I hit Save and get window
    "can not save filename"
    with no error code.
    NOTHING!
    This has happened twice. First time not a lot had been done to the file.
    So I just re-started the iMac
    This time I stand to lose some real work here.
    Does this happen if I just use the free version!?!?!?!?
    I will happily pay after my trial but if this is what the new CS6 has in store, then screw Adobe.
    Can anyone help me???

    There's no difference in fuctionality between paid and free versions.
    There are two things worth trying, if you haven't already closed and lost the file. The first is to export to .idml, open that and see if you can save it with a new name: Remove minor corruption by exporting
    The second is riskier as it depends on ID's amazing file recovery after a crash. If the method above fails you haven't got a lot to lose, though, so here here's the next thing I would try:
    Force Quit Indesign. See Replace Your Preferences and use the manual method to replace the InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData files (and while you're at it, make a backup copy of the InDesign Recovery folder). Also see Adobe Forums: InDesign crashes at startup and delete the additional files in John's post. If you need to delete or copy hidden files and don't know how to access them, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion
    When all that is done, restart InDesign. With luck, autorecovery will open the file again with not much missing and you can try to save it.

  • Can't save sometimes during Indesign

    sometimes when i work in Indesign CC i cant save my work anymore. Its completly random i think. At first i thought it happened when i made an angle with my Bamboo graphic tablet. But that was not the reason.
    Most of the time somewhere during my work a textframe doesnt move and then i cant save anymore. And all my work is gone.
    I already did all my updates. Asswell as my Wacom Tablet, and updated my work memory from 4gb tot 8gb. But it doesnt help.
    Somebody know the answer to this irritating problem?

    This is not a solution, however if you "save as" an .idml file you won't lose your work, and you can recover what you worked on by opening the .idml file. I have used this when my save option was greyed out and unusable.

  • How to save an Adobe InDesign CC 2014 document with AppleScript

    Code that works in CS4 and CC is broken in CC 2014. Anyone have a work around for this?
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CC 2014"
      tell document 1
      save
      end tell
      -- error "Adobe InDesign CC 2014 got an error: User canceled this action." number -128
    end tell

    Is document 1 a new document or has it already been saved somewhere?
    If you are trying to save a newly created document you have to provide a path:
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CC 2014"
      tell document 1
      save to alias "HD:Users:username:Desktop:myfile.indd"
      end tell
    end tell

  • Can i save a compatible InDesign CS2 document with CC?

    Hi, I need to save a document in InDesign CC created in InDesign CS2 and continue open it in CS2
    It is a way to do it?
    thanks

    Export to IDML from CC. Open the IDML in CS4 and then export to INX. Open the INX in CS3 and export that to INX again.
    If the layout is still recognizable it will be a miracle.

  • Restoring a "mini save" to OPEN InDesign cs5 file through InDesign Recivery

    using time machine, can I go back to a previously OPEN (not saved) indesign cs5 file to get to the "mini save" of the file? the file was open as time machine was running (overnight)
    A tech person didn't save the changes I made to the indesignfile before restarting my computer, so right now on the hard drive there is no recovery data I can use.
    Looking in the time machine back-ups, It looks like there is no "cache" in the "library" in any of the time machine saves. (so there is no "InDesign Recovery" file, right?) why not? isn't time machine making an exact copy of my hard drive?

    Hi hasvi,
    Need Template(.indt), textframes etc for the following script:
    var myFolderInd = Folder.selectDialog();
    var myFile = myFolderInd.getFiles("*indt");
    app.open(myFile)
    var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var myDocName = myDoc.name;
    var mySaveFile = app.activeDocument.save(myFolderInd.fsName + "/" + myDocName.split(".indt").join(".indd"));
    var myFolderDoc = Folder.selectDialog();
    var myFile1 = myFolderDoc.getFiles("*doc");
    mySaveFile.pages[0].textFrames[0].place(File(myFile1))
    //~ mySaveFile.place(File(myFile1))
    app.activeDocument.textPreferences.smartTextReflow = true;
    var myPDFFile = new File(mySaveFile.filePath + "/" + mySaveFile.name.split(".indd").join(".pdf"))
    myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File("~/Desktop/abc.pdf"));
    alert("Process Completed")

  • I cant save files from Indesign CC

    I instaled the New CC and now i can only save files directly to the desktop on my mac. If i try to put them in any folder they will not save and Indesign crashes. I am having the same issue with Photoshop & illustrator.

    This doesn't sound like a known issue with InDesign and I cannot produce the issue on my end.
    Have you tried resetting your InDesign preferences? If this doesn't work, how about launching the software under a new administrative user account?
    see: FAQ: Trash, Replace, Reset, or Restore the application Preferences
    As the issue persists cross products, something might've gone wrong during installation.
    Please try the suggested steps first and see if they help. Thanks!

  • How do I back-save a CS4 InDesign library file to CS3?

    Any ideas anyone?
    I have an InDesign library, originally created in CS3, but since updated in CS4.
    I need to distribute this to colleagues using CS3; they can open the library fine, but cannot drag items from the library to the page.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated as I'm pulling my hair out on this one (even though I've got no hair to start with!).
    Cheers,
    Martin

    Martin,
    A work-around: Open CS4 and the library. Drag objects out. Drag to desktop or Bridge. Open CS3, thus producing xml snippets. Drag snippets from Bridge or Desktop into CS3. Drag objects into a CS3 library.
    Cheers,
