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.

Problem with German InDesign CS4 Trial

Since the last week im trying to use the Adobe InDesign CS4 Trial Version on my Computer but i does not work really. I have downloadet the German Version but after the installation it runs in Englisch and the Toolbars on the left and the right side are missing. Before i'm using the CS3 Version at the same Computer and it works perfekt. I tried the CS4 Trial on an different Computer in our office and it works perfekt but this Computer have Microsoft Windows XP Professional.
I read in the System requirements that Vista 64bit is not zertified but why does the CS3 work perfekt and the CS4 make those Problems?
I hope anybody can held me......
My Computer:
Windows Vista business 64bit
PHENOM Quad Core 2,4Ghz Prozessor
8 GB RAM
ATI Fire GL Grafic Card

Thank you for suggesting workaround #1!
I have been struggling with bookmarking issues for years here on CS4. I am not bookmarking text frames, simply bookmarking pages, but I have been having problems as described. I thought I researched it thoroughly online, but I was so relieved to find and try this option today.
I have a 50 page InDesign price book. Every page is bookmarked. After exporting as a PDF some of the bookmarks work fine and some take me to the wrong page. In InDesign CS4, I can click through the bookmarks and everything works as expected. Every bookmark takes me to the page I assigned it to...perfect! However, once exported as a PDF I have issues. In Preview (Mac OS 10.8) or Adobe Reader, some bookmarks are fine and some direct me to the incorrect page. I tried Adobe Reader thinking maybe the issue was with Preview, but not only is the problem with both programs--they error consistently. The bookmarks take me to the same incorrect page in both Preview and Reader.
Exporting as a INX file and reimporting into InDesign CS4 is the only way I have been able to get this to work. I originally switched to InDesign for two reasons: 1. I was experiencing the same problem in Adobe Acrobat when assigning bookmarks so I hoped using another program would help. 2. I am rebuilding the price book page by page in InDesign. (Some pages just pull from a PDF document and some are original--created in InDesign CS4. Eventually all pages will be InDesign original files. I'm not sure those details matter, but that is what I have for content in my document.)
Thank you! Thank you! I really appreciate that you took the time to suggest this for the rest of us! I can finally distribute a correctly bookmarked price book to our reps.

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

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.

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).

InDesign CS4 Trial Installation

I just downloaded (for the 3rd time at about 1 hour dowload time each) the trial version of InDesign CS4 and it will not execute. The setup file is either corrupt or incomplete, because I get an error message that the setup file is incomplete or missing. I followed the instructions that after the dowload there awould be 2 files: an .exe file and a .7z file. The .7z file is to download 100% before launching the .exe file. The .7z file downloads with the no problem, but when you try to execute the .exe file I get an error message.
Any suggestions? I tried calling Adobe, but unless you are a "paying customer", i.e. not trial version, they cannot help you.
Thanks and Frustrated!
True

I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble. I've only done the download once, and if memory serves running the exe is supposesed to unpack the installer and deployment folders, which I seem to have done in a sufolder of the directory where I stored the .7z file and .exe. Burning them to a disk will not work -- they need to be on your hard drive.
What size is the downloaded .exe file that you have?

Can't Download Trial version for InDesign CS4! Please help ASAP!

Hi Everyone!
I have been trying to download the trail version of InDesign CS4 into my PC and it doesn't download.
What happens is that when I choose the software and click download, it takes me to a page that says "the download should start automatically, if it doesn't click here". The download doesn't start automatically and when I click what it says, it takes me to the previous page that I started the download.
I hope I am clear enough.
Please help me ASAP, I need this for a project that is due very soon!!!!!!
Thanks a bunch,
Rose

What version of Windows are you running (that's your Operating System). I've never seen that hand thing, but I don't use Internet Explorer. It's clearly a security feature somewhere that is preventing the download, either in the browser or some other antivirus, malware blocker, or firewall program you have installed. What version of IE?
Allowing scripting and ActiveX controls would be in the IE Tools menu under Internet Options, Security Tab, custom settings button. It might be best to get someone with more experience to come in and help you make any changes rather than trying to do this yourself since you don't appear to be skilled in the inner workings of the computer.
If all else fails, I think you can order the trial on a disk.

Don't install the CS4 trial on top of a CS5 intall. First, they should be installed in chronological order for best results, and second, uninstalling an older version after a newer one (when the trial expires and you're tired of not being able to doubleclick to open any ID file, let alone CS5 files) can cause enough damage to require reinstalling the later version.

InDesign CS4 Trial Download Error

So I spend 10 hours downloading the trial version to Adobe Indesign CS4. It downloads fine and I'm set to install. As I install, it goes about halfway, to the Adobe NA Color Settings, when a popup comes and says that Adobe Setup has encountered a problem and needs to stop.
Any clues on WTH happened?
I'm running Windows Vista, Home Edition, Verion 6.0 with SP1.
I've tried installing it with firewalls down, in simplified mode, with interenet connected and not connected.
Frankly, I am at a lost to what is up.
I really need Indesign for school and was planning to buy it after I installed the trial version. But the trial won't even install properly.
Any help would be nice

only thing suspicious i find is this:

Adobe Indesign CS4 Trial

Hi Everyone,
I was looking to try out indesign cs4 for my company but I can't find it( the trial) on the adobe website. I think they have removed it because cs5 is coming out. I have looked all over for it but nothing. Does any one have it or know where I can get it. I would just contact adobe but I am sure they will tell me I have to wait for the cs5 trial.If I like it I do plan on buying CS5 but I need something now, Othweise I have to find another product like indesign, Anything would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I still have to check if the app work properly. There is no reason it shouldn't.
Since you already have CS5 installed:
BEWARE! DANGEROUS CURVE AHEAD!
Installing CS4 on top of a CS5 messes up your system and makes CS5 unusable. Make sure you install it onto another computer, possibly in another room as well.

Where can I find a download for Indesign CS4 6.0 WIN?

We are a charity organisation and during the office move, it appears that we have lost the CD which may have recieved at the time.
Having spoken to Tech Support at Adobe, they recommend that I put this on the forum as there is no download available for this version.
We have a certificate from Adobe showing that we purchased InDesign CS4 6.0 WIN AOO License[removed by moderator].
Can someone let me know if and where I can download InDesign so that we can use our license serial number.
Thanks

As usual, the outsourced support from India was incorrect.
You can download the CS4 installers from Download CS4 products. Be sure you pick the product and platform that match your license.

[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]);

Shared Content InDesign Plugin for InDesign CS4 won't open file

Yesterday I discontinued using Adobe CC and went back to using my Adobe InDesign CS4. CS4 is working OK but there is ONE file that won't open. I get the message "Shared Content InDesign Plugin is currently not available on your system". The file will not open. Is there a workaround or how do I get the required plugin?

You get that error when the file was saved in CS5 or later. You can find out the version using the script at Adobe Forums: [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File.
You'll need to export the file to .idml from the newer version to be able to open it in CS4. This is something I normally offer to do, but I'm not available for at least a week, so perhaps one of our other regulars can step up and volunteer.

Installing Indesign CS4 Trial Version

I am trying to download the trial version of Indesign CS4, when I get it downloaded and try to launch it says opening adbeidsncs4_LS1.dmg it goes through but when it is complete a screen pops up that says 'the following disk images failed to mount--abdesidsncs4_LS1.dm invalid checksum. But if I don't let it complete the screen that says opening abdeidsncs4_LS1.dmg if I open Indesign it will work but there is no tool bar. I have tried to uninstall it and re-install it but it is still doing the same thing.

Two possibilities come to mind.
First, the download was damaged and you should try downloading the trial again.
Second, you are installing a non-US English localized version. There are known issue with these versions. See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408055.html
