Splitting and InDesign CS2 file.

Going back a little old school here with the CS2. I have a file that is 100 pages and I am looking to split it into 5 different files of 20 pages apiece. I was wondering if anyone knew if that was possible.

Not sure I understand your question as it's very easy to do. Just do a 'save as', delete the unwanted pages from the pages pallette (shift select to do a whole lot at a time), go bact to the original document and repeat.

Exporting a inDesign CS2 File to Illustrator CS2 and Preserving LInks

Hi,
I have 3 InDesign CS2 files that have several links which have been modified withing the file. The printer needs these files in Illustrator format with the links preserved, so they can swap images, adjust colors and such.
I am having a problem exporting these files to Illustrator CS2 while preserving the links.
I have tried exporting as hirez PDF/X-1a as well as a EPS. They both embedd all the files. When I go to relink everything the images come in as their original form as expected and I find I have to reformat every image which is very time consuming.
I don't want to spend hours trying to relink everything for each package, so I was wondering if there was a way I would be able to export them while preserving all my images as links to Illustrator. Is that even possible? Is there an option in CS3 perhaps? I am willing to upgrade if necessary.
Please Help!

My boss is in charge of talking to the client and the printer. I am the designer asked to post this question to see if there was another way besides spending hours adjusting these files. I believe he is going to try and convince him otherwise looks like I will be relinking and adjusting for a while to give them what they want.

Illustrator CS2 and InDesign CS2 not starting - here is how it was solved.

This document is merely a compilation of information found at the sources named at the bottom of this document.
Basically running older Adobe CS2 Software on a MacBook Pro 10.6.x Snow Leopard - probably like many of you that either can't afford the upgrade to CS3, CS4 or CS5, or maybe don't see the need to do so. It's running good but it is slow since it is using Rosetta, but it does work - well, used to work.
Illustrator CS2, InDesign CS2, Photoshop CS2, etc. were all running fine after the upgrade to Snow Leopard (under 10.6, 10.6.1 and 10.6.2). Then the update to 10.6.3 was installed. At the same time a bunch of other updates - including the Acrobat 8.2 update - were installed. Not really sure what did it, but all of a sudden Illustrator CS2 stopped responding at the start up screen - no longer started up and InDesign CS2 popped the registration/licensing screen. When trying to enter license info on first key press the application quit entirely.
So maybe the 10.6.3 update was the culprit. Never even thought that it could be the Acrobat 8.2/8.2.1 updates. Then I found this thread here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/613287?tstart=0 (good reading)
Which ultimately pointed me the the instructions here:

A message appears to confirm to replace the existing 'Mac' folder. Replace the 'Mac' folder.
Launch Illustrator or InDesign CS or CS 2.
The Mac folder attached to this KB document already has the correct permissions set, so it should not be necessary to complete the steps below.

To check if the issue has been solved, launch Acrobat 8.2 and then Illustrator or InDesign CS or CS 2.

Even after following the instructions still "no love" from Illustrator CS2 or InDesign CS2. InDesign did no longer show the registration screen, but it didn't continue launching, and Illustrator progressed further along in the start up sequence but also never finished launching.
Then I found another article on the adobe site. I am just quoting the part performed and which ultimately did the trick.
>start quote from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/326/326388.html
Steps 1 and 2 are not relevant so no need to do them
3. At the Finder, choose File > Find.
4. TypeAdobeFnt10.lst (Illustrator CS2), select the system drive, and then press Return.
5. Delete all AdobeFnt10.lst files found.
6. Restart the computer.
7. Restart Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new Adobefnt10.lst or AdobeFnt07.lst file.

So, this solved the problems at least for the time being. Hope this helps someone else a bit.

Illustrator CS2 stopped working for me on Snow Leopard as well. What it all boiled down to was not to update to 12.0.1. Not sure which release of Snow Leopard I was on when I figured that out but I keep up-to-date, am now at 10.6.6 and CS2 still works fine. I keep getting prompted to update to 12.0.1 from time to time but just cancel it.
I'm fairly sure I was at 12.0.1 already when I moved from Leopard to Snow Leopard and it was that, not a Snow Leopard update, that "broke" CS2 12.0.1. If I remember correctly, if you now try to apply the update, it won't go through with it anyway.

Links between Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign CS2 files

I create files in Photoshop CS2 and place them in InDesign CS2 files. Is there a way in Bridge (or elsewhere) to see which InDesign files a specific Photoshop file is linked to?
Your help is appreciated.
MJ

So far so good with CS2, but I have not had to time to really test it in depth.
Installed Leopard onto an external hard drive connected to my iMac. If I have problems I can always boot back into Tiger from the internal drive. Once I feel safe the CS2 works fine with Leopard I will install it on the internal drive. I also have a mirror backup of the internal drive on a different external drive than the one with Leopard installed, double backup for now.
PS: The newer versions FileMaker were reportedly not compatible. I am still using version 7.5 which seems to work fine under Leopard.
I am fixing to get ready to install Leopard on the G4 iBook. Doing a backup of that hard drive first.

How do I enable plug-ins for InDesign CS2 - files won't open

How do I enable plug-ins for InDesign CS2 - files won't open.
I own CS2.
I shouldn't have to buy CS6 InDesign.
How do I open CS 2 files and get the plug ins again.

How to convert InDesign CS2 files for editing in CS5 (win)

We are a small publishing company with several top-selling language products. I need to revision a title which was published 10 years ago. The files are CS2 and I cannot open them in CS5. Seem Adobe doesn't offer any conversion utility. It seem I need to open them in CS3 then save and use CS4 to convert from CS3 to CS4, then I can use CS5. But I cannot find CS3 for sale anywhere. So I'm screwed. Please offer a file conversion service. It's just code! you can run the old versions on virtualized servers and charge $500 per file. I'll pay! I'm totally screwed. We have to recreate the entire book from scratch. I used to be an Adobe promoter, but now I'm a detractor. this is horrible.
Does anyone have old versions around could be used to get this job done?
Cheers!

OK this is seriously messed up. I just spent the day installing trial versions of InDesign CS3 and CS4 (on a Windows Virtual PC running Windows XP) and converted my files from CS2 to CS3, then C3 to CS4. But when I try to open in CS5, they still crash InDesign CS5! Something is corrupt or incompatible with InDesign CS5 even though they opened in CS3 and CS4. wtf.
Guess I'll just have to edit in CS4 and give up on bring these files any closer to the modern world? Any other ideas?

InDesign CS2 files not creating .idlk lock file

We are currently experiencing a random issue where sometimes InDesign files that have been opened and saved say they are Read Only and have to be dumped out to the desktop and replaced on the server in order to update the changes. I have noticed that when this crops up that for some reason the .idlk lock file is not being created in these instances. It doesn't seem to matter if it is a Leopard or Tiger user, nor anything with time of day, etc. We are using InDesign CS2 in conjunction with InCopy CS2 on a Windows Server with ExtremeZ-IP for AFP services to the Mac users. As far as I can tell, the time between the clients and server is in synch as well. Permissions are a non-issue as the user has full-control to the server and subsequent folders. Any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks,
Brian

Probably the only way to do this is by disabling the app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel lines. InDesign then shows any error dialogs, so you may be in for some OK clicking, but I don't see any other way.

Rosetta and InDesign CS2

Greetings,
I have not updated my Adobe products in several years, something I used to do regularly.
That said, InDesign CS2 using 10.6, on my son's two year-old white MacBook, results in sporadic rendering of type on the page until the page is clicked with the type tool.
Does !0.6.1 fix this problem?
I have not updated CS2 for because I print and bind my own low-volume manual series and the new versions don't do what the old did, for me. Now I am quite happy with Preview and Gimp as a photosop replacement but have not yet found anything quite as nice as CS2, with the Alap imposition plug-in.
Thanks,
Garrett Connelly

Thanks,
I was just hoping some Mac whiz would read this and a bell would ring to tune things up a bit. I've kept my old computer with OS 10.4.11 so I can run the older Photoshop versions and get the older style PDF files - something is nicer about them.
As far as I'm concerned, Alap is good enough reason to switch to Quark, whenever my Mac no longer can do it. CS2 runs far faster on OS 10.5.8 than 10.4.11. Also, for me, the increase in printer speed means I will have a hard choice going to 10.6 because everything works so good on 10.5.8.
People in every country on earth use my little manuals and I can't let them down.

Help! How do I get into my InDesign CS2 files?

The other day I tried to open my InDesign files and I got an error message that said "Adobe InDesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected. Please restart InDesign to recover any unsaved InDesign documents."
It happens each time I try an open the program. I press the "ok" button and the program closes but nothing changes. I've even restarted my computer several times.
Can someone help me? In Design is holding my files hostage!
I called customer service and they can not give me any technical assistance because I have CS2 and the current version is CS4. I was told that the forum is my only hope.
Any help is appreciated.

I've saved the file before by opening it on a different computer and exporting to .inx, but I've no idea what was going on withthe files. It's something that hasn't happened to me since CS2 (fingers crossed), but it usually involved cleaning out the libraries

Flash video game. How to make it playable & put onto website, and Indesign PDF file?

I am making a video game using Adobe Flash 2.0. I need to be able to show what I have through a website (my portfolio) and/or insert it into an interactive Indesign PDF file. The game needs to be able to be played and be used and tested by whoever I send the pdf file to, or whoever is would be view my the site I post it on. I have attempted many different ways to put my game onto my website (cargocollective) and Indesign, but nothing is working! I need help.
For example I need my game to be placed on the website page, and on the pdf document as an image. When it is clicked on I need it to start so people can play the game. I don't know how to do this and I would really love and need to know how! Thanks.

You are more likely to get a helpful reply if you ask this in the Flash forum (this is the Flash Player forum).

Acrobat and InDesign CS5 file issue

Hi everyone...
My issue is that Acrobat won't or can't convert InDesign CS5 files. It opens Illustrator and Photoshop and converts them to pdf's but not InDesign.
I've tried everything. I've even tried Adobe tech help. No luck. It was a relatively easy procedure in CS4, not to mention a time saver.
Is there someone that knows how to resolve this? Please help as I'm desperate to avoid having to convert all my InDesign files one at a time.

Hi Matthew-
Our workflow often involves combining multiple IND files into a pdf. With CS4, we merely opened acrobat, clicked "Merge Files into a Single PDF" and dropped in the indesign files we wished to combine. Presto- we had one PDF with all IND files put together without having to go through indesign.
In response to your post, I only have CS5 installed, and it seems as though Acrobat doesn't recognize ID CS5 as a program at all. I believe I am current on all InDesign and Acrobat 9 updates to date - I'm running InDesign7.0.2 and Acrobat 9.3.4.
When trying to open IND files through Acrobat, Acrobat launches and gives an error message that states: "Please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer."
Acrobat can't call InDesign CS5 to open at all. Could this be because Acrobat was not updated along with the CS5 suite and therefore doesn't recognize the new CS5 Indesign files?
I read another blog that mentioned it could be a registry problem- they ran CCleaner and ran the registry fix. Then uninstalled and reinstalled both Acrobat and Indesign. What are your thoughts on this method? It's hard for me to try this on my own, as it requires an administrative login- our IT department has us locked out. I would like another opinion before I ask them to help.
Do you forsee a fix from Adobe in the future?
Thanks for your help!

InDesign CS2 files showing as CS5

Hi all,
I currently have CS2 and CS5 running on my computer.
Some of my files which were saved in CS2 are now showing as CS5 files, which means I can no longer open them using CS2.
Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to make sure that CS2 files are not automatically chaneged?
Thanks,
Erin.

Windows or Mac?
Mac will only show the most current version for all files. Windows will show the correct version via the icon.
In either case have a look at http://www.rorohiko.com/wordpress/2010/07/26/soxy-1-4-1-now-available/

Office 2010 Excel and InDesign CS2

For a number of years, I have been placing Excel tables and graphs into InDesign by turning them into PDFs.
I was able to correctly size the tables/graphs by doing a "Copy as Picture" in Excel and directly pasting into InDesign prior to creating the PDF.
We recently updated to Office 2010 and its version of Excel, and now the "Copy as Picture" step no longer accurately represents the sizing of the PDF.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I'm having some trouble getting my arms around the fact that you'd spend money on MS Office upgrade but you're still sitting there with CS2.
Tables in Excel can be placed directly into ID using the file place command. The graphs will need a different route and PDF is as good as any if you don't need to make changes. If you want better results, copy/paste them to Illustrator, save as AI and place that.
I don't think CS2 can handle the XLSX format. You'll need to save back to XLS. Another issue with sticking with CS2 is that it's unsupported under newer operating systems and can be even more troublesome on 64 bit system.
You might want to consider an upgrade to CS5. CS2 is the earliest version eligible for upgrade pricing and if you wait too long you'll be looking at paying full price. If you're running the suite, make sure you look at the right package. There are several upgrade choices. http://amzn.to/alf9eu is the Design Premium upgrade.

InDesign CS2 file crashing when saving or using save as

(This is on a Windows XP system)
I have a file that ran fine until the last few pages were edited. The file is a mock-up and has very few links and only 3 different fonts. The file opens fine and I can edit everything, and print. The actual program and document seem to work fine. However, when I attempt to save changes or export it crashes In Design and I get the "reference memory cannot be read" message (50%) of the time. Other times no error message is reported. Sometimes the changes have actually been saved and other times they are not. With the "save as function" I get a 50/50 return on a new file. I have tried re-naming the file, opening the file on another computer and the same thing happens. My other ID files are fine. Everything works fine until I try to save the document.
I've tried the fixes for my system like removing unnecessary fonts. I relinked all my links, changed my display resolution to "fast" to no avail. It truly seems to be an issue with the file not the program. Is there any wisdom on this issue? Ideas for how I might salvage or repair a damaged file so it can be saved?
HELP!

Since this is isolated to a single file, try exporting it to Interchange Format (.inx), then open and save the resulting file as a new InDesign file.
Since the problem occurs during export, that may not be possible. Another option to try would be to copy all elements, page by page, and "paste in place" into a new document the same size. If you used layers, be sure to enable "paste remembers layers" in the layers panel menu.
This kind of problem is often indicative of an underlying font issue. You said there are only three fonts, and you should verify that in Type > Find Font... Try replacing, at least temporarily the fonts in use with something else that you know to be reliable from other documents. You might want to do this before the other steps.

Opening Indesign CS2 files In CS4

Hi everyone,
I have just started using Indesign CS4 for work but found that it is mostly a waste of time as most clients send me documents made with older versions of Indesign which i just cant open with CS4. Is there anyway around this using the standard software or are then any plugin's that will do the job for me?
Thanks in advance,
Loki

Hmm...very odd. I simply get the old "this
file is not compatible" error come up when ever i try to open CS2. CS3 seems ok but not tried anythng older yet. I thought it seemed a little weird not opening, I guess that who ever was doing the job before me just screwed it up some how. :/ guess i have a few hours of system cleaning tomorrow ahead of me, if anyone can think of anything they could have done to stop it working i would be greatful for the advice if nto ill just try a re-install.
No worrys about the clients not being able to reopen the file Ill be sending it strait to the presses once finished.
