Spread Preview Issue - left page only

I'm in the catalog/magazine racket and just starting using InD 5.5 along with Bridge 5.1
When I save/convert documents from CS3 InD to 5.5, the preview in bridge 5.1 only shows the left hand page in my document. There is also a little chain icon in the upper right of the thumbnail. If you click on the thumbnail the preview will give you the option to click to the right page, but this is completely defeating the purpose of using Bridge to preview page layouts.
The prior version of Bridge we could view the spreads as thumbnails which is essential when I'm working with 100+ page documents. I can't just see 50 left hand pages as opposed to 50 spreads. The frustrating thing is we changed our entire workflow to accommodate Bridge previews and broke up multiple page layouts into spreads so we can see how everything flows page to page in our pubs.
Additionally, even the thumbs that are visible sometimes don't show all the information anyway.
I've searched for three days looking for settings in InDesign 5.5 and Br 5.1 to cure this but I've reached a dead end. Also, I've run the gammut on the InD file handling Prefs, "Saving InDesign Files" Can anyone let me know what is going on here? Is there a fix? if its working OK for you can you give me your settings so I can plug them in and see if it works?
Thanks All!

Expanding the thumbnail preview doesn't work.
I'm having the same issue, I want to see the full spread but can only see the left page. any help would be greatly appreciated! Until I will keep using Bridge CS3.

Hello,
I am new to the iMac and google hasnt answerd my questions so i thought you may be able to help. I use the track pad and in the middle of creating a document i am no longer to do the 2 finger scroll to go up and down my document at all.
It still works when i'm surfing the internet for solutions but just in Pages when createing a doc the trackpad 2 finger scroll is not working i can only use the bars
Please Help!

I think so.....
It's a brand new iMac and I updated everything when i got it.
It was working this morning and as i was creating a document something made it stop working so i can not scroll at all in Pages....

Spread Preview for Bridge

I think it is essential that the option to view the thumnbails of InDesign documents within Bridge is returned. Or at the very least an option within the Display Performance Preference to check on Spread Preview or Single Page Preview. It is unbelieveable how much my entire workplace misses that feature since upgrading to CS5.

"Always High Quality" is checked, and "Generate 100% Previews" is unchecked.
(I'm currently writing a program that pulls or creates a thumbnail based upon a variety of file types. I've learned how to use XMP to extract the thumbnail from an .indd file (and others). I was hoping to be able to grab larger thumbnails from files like .ai's, especially since I see that Bridge can do it.)

Safari 7.0.6, using Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10, aren't rendering pdf files in the Print Preview screen. Additionally, only a single, blank page prints for a multi-page pdf document. Any ideas?

Safari 7.0.6, using Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10, isn't rendering pdf files in the Print Preview screen. Additionally, only a single, blank page prints for a multi-page pdf document. Any ideas?

Figured it out. It had nothing to do with the software levels of Safari or Adobe Acrobat. Here's the fix:
Open Finder/Applications
Search "Internet Plug-Ins"
Move any Adobe plug-ins to the trash
Quit Safari
Launch Safari
Your pdf document should now render in Print Preview and print properly.

Print Preview of particular page issue in SAP script

Hi all,
Kindly help me to resolve the following issue in SAPscript.
I have a particular business requirement to preview a particular page in 'n' pages of a SAPscript. After executing the sapscript calling program, the print window appears, in which i can choose particular page in the <b>Page Selection</b> Field.
The problem is that the preview shows some other page rather than the appropriate page. Please help me to resolve the issue.
Awaiting for your replies,
Thanks and Best Regards,
Jana

You need to call NEW-PAGE command in the sapscript when the user select a page in page selection.
Try this:
create the following text element in the sapscript in any window, preferibly MAIN window
/E PBREAK
/: NEW-PAGE &user_selected_page&
In the Print program: OPEN_FORM returns a parameter called RESULT.
case result-tdpageslct.
when '2'.
user_selected_page = <second page name in the sapscript>
when '3'.
user_selected_page = <third page name in the sapscript>
when others.
clear user_selected_page.
endcase.
if not user_selected_page is initial.
call function WRITE_FORM and call above created text element
endif.
If the pages you are trying to display does not have main window, make sure next page in the page definition is not the same page in the sapscript.
Regards

When printing from file, print or print preview, must set page size @ 40% to get correct printing. IE is ok only wrong on firefox!

What happens when you select a scale higher than 40%?

PDF Color issues with Pages 09

I made a new Page Layout document with Pages 09. I created my own page templates for this document. The left page of the document uses a wide blue filled band and the right page uses a narrower blue filled band.
Both use the same exact color. (I'm even using the DigitalColor Meter app to show me this.)
I exported the finished file to pdf using the best setting. When I open it up in Adobe acrobat reader, I now have two different colors. One is purplish, the other is navy blue. This is visible on the PC screen. If I open it up in Preview on my mac, they are all the same color.
Any ideas?

Well, yes. I was more after links to information about why they wait.
There is a legal side and a technical side. The legal side revolves around antitrust issues, apparently. The technical side revolves around the same issues as in the past.
Through cross-licencing, Adobe Systems controls the composition model and the configuration of composition products at any point in time.
At the Seybold Conference on Computer Publishing in September 1989, John Warnock stated that the proposed protective separation of character processing from glyph processing was "garbage" - according to the New York Times.
In December 1990, the PostScript Language Reference Manual, Second Edition, Appendix E, published how drawing ligatures, small capitals etc would be done by overruling the character set.
This is the road to destructive drawing: it sacrifices content-based spelling, searching and sorting for the sake of appearance-based composition.
The Apple developer discussion stated in 1992 that a composition model that can draw a glyph design if and only if the glyph codes is directly depicted onto a character code is disastrous.
By the time QuickDraw GX was available in q3 1994 there were at least 15,000 Adobe Type 1 products and at least 100 million licences (there were 22 million licences in September 1989).
By promoting the Adobe Type 1 library, and in particular the Adobe Type 1 Expert library, Adobe destroyed the text services of Apple Mac OS, simply.
Microsoft TrueImage was discontinued partly because PostScript Level 2 does not support the screen in its colour management model and partly because Adobe Type 1 and the PostScript use of a completely configurable name space instead of a coded character set allows Adobe to overrule the OS text services at any time.
When Adobe in April 2002 made the the Adobe OpenType library available on the Adobe Font Folio, in place of the Adobe Type 1 library, Adobe applied the same tactic. As John Hudson points out, all alternate glyphs were available for drawing with Private Use Area characters which is analoguous to what Adobe Type 1 Expert did before.
Because Adobe bases PDF on PS and because PS ignores intact SFNT indices as well as intact ICC indices, Adobe based PDF on the completely configurable name space model of PS. For this to work in synthesising source character specifications it is necessary that the name space be configured with ISO-IEC 10036/AFII glyph identifiers or with ISO-IEC 10036 character identifiers.
It is also necessary that the glyph stream be passed into PS in reading order and not in geometric order, that there be a linear relationship of characters to glyphs in the processing (problems with bidirectional ordering and with functions like insertion in AAT e.g. for Khmer), and of course that font-indenpendent identifiers in fact by implemented by all concerned - which they are not.
XPS revolves around keeping the source character string intact, PDF does not revolve around keeping the source character string intact (not for lowend office typesetting of the Latin script, at any rate). At the Linotype Typotechnica in April 2007, Adobe announced that configuring CMAPs with PUA would not be discontinued - it would be continued.
In other words, technically Adobe is using the completely configurable name space of PostScript as a weapon against Microsoft just as it used it as a weapon against Apple. But the problem is that Adobe publishes no documentation with its type products informing the customer in the EU of how the type product is in fact configured, and that may or may not be illegal.
Personally, I don't have a problem with PUA drawing provided it is documented in order that the everyday enduser understands that the ISO-IEC 10646 standard character set is being overruled and that a synthesis has to take place from a private name space model, but if this is not documented then the everyday enduser is made hostage.
This is where Adobe's tactical use of type as a strategic pawn in its struggle for the digital document market becomes politically problematic. How are we ever going to rid the Mac of Adobe Type 1 'Expert'? Adobe and Linotype spent a fortune marketing the idea that correct type was done by changing the correct text. Utterly braindead from day one.

Spread preview, not individual preview CS5

Hey Everyone!
Is it possible to get indesign to save preview like what it used to do with spreads rather than the first page and then you preview them like a PDF file always has in bridge.
This image should explain it a bit better.
We can't EASILY see weather or not the second page on the spread is completed or not!
Please help!!!!
Thanks in advanced.
Michael.

When we PDF we need the 5mm of bleed to be on the left side (not right) for a left page and right (not left) for a right page, and I guess having it as a spread makes it easier to know if it's a right or left page without needing to think about odd and even page numbers for left and right pages.
We also don't export, we use  + PRINT. Screen shot below.
See now why we use spreads...? It outputs a .PS file to be distilled.
Back when we required crop marks it took 5mm of bleed off all sides so if something happen to come to the edge from the opposite page it had to take 5mm, another reason for the spreads (back in the day).
We PDF as single pages so if there is a problem from our end after sending to the printer it can fixed with only re-PDF'ing one page... They're aren't really a slob, just one of the biggest printers in Australia... hahaha
About 15 people have to access around 104 pages over 3-4 days so we can't put everything into one file like a book (If thats what you mean). Especially when many designers are working at once, reps dropping content on pages and sub editors editing.

Replacing Flash Buttons/ Preview Issues

I have old Flash Navigation Buttons on my website from years ago. I have been trying to replace them. What would be some good and simple ways to do this? It appears that the programs (DW5, DW6, and DWCC) won't let me do this. For example, I deleted the flash button that says "About" and then typed in new word "About" instead and linked it in a simply way to the "About" page.
However, when I preview this in browsers, my flash button/s are still appearing in the preview window browser, even though already deleted many times in my Design View. The preview page has also showed all sorts of disorganization and chaos for these deletions of old navigation buttons which are not consistent with what is displaying on my working Design copy window. Any suggestions? (Mac Os X 10.8.4)

Thank you all for your suggestions! I have emptied my cache, cookies, and refreshed my browser window. It looks like one button "Resources" in the left navigation panel managed to disappear from all pages on the website-- yet I only made changes to a select few pages. However, many of the changes I made are not showing up yet on the test page.
I am not that familiar with code view so I use Design view mostly. Yet, I did split the view and see the selected area in the code responsible for a flash button. I tried to delete that in code view, as well.
Here is my test page. In design view, I left most of the old navigation buttons intact, except for the bottom three.
I tried to eliminate the bottom three flash buttons and replaced with linked words "About", "Resources", and "Home" (see below). Yet, on the web page, only the "Resources" button has disappeared, and the words I typed in to replace are not displaying yet.

Spread Previews in Bridge

I posted a comment/rant about an InDesign feature that was taken away in CS5 in a discussion that focuses soley on Photoshop (See below.) I didn't realize I had done that until today, so I'm reposting it with the hope that someone on the InDesign team at Adobe will read it. The feature that was eliminated was the ability to preview InDesign spreads in Bridge.
I now realize this issue was caused by a change to InDesign and not Bridge as I first thought. I also no longer feel those responsible for making the change should be fired. However, taking a long time out should be considered. Wait, I take that back. This problem wasn't fixed in CS6, so I'm leaning towards my original suggestion.
The original thread: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/viewing_indesign_spread_thumbnails_i n_bridge?utm_content=topic_link&utm_medium=email&utm_source=reply_notification
My original post:
I'm beyond frustrated with Adobe because of this issue. The person(s) who decided to eliminate this feature in CS5/CS5.5 should be fired. Seriously. I realize this is most likely a Bridge issue and not an InDesign one, but these two applications used to work side by side in a way that I, a catalog designer, found extremely useful. I always thought the intention of updating software (and not inexpensive software, I might add) meant new, useful features were being added, not eliminated. I hear Quark is making a comeback. If Adobe keeps selling me downgrades marketed as upgrades, I might have to jump ship.

We just started testing Cs6 and are finding out the hard way that there is no spread preview in Bridge.. Did you find a work around?
We are a small publisher and use bridge to be able to count pages, see what is finished and not.. and to speed up general layout of the magazine..
I guess we are going to have to go back to Cs4.. because this really bites.. I notice some one said somewhere about a plugin Sneakpreview.. but i have not been able to find it.. Oh we are still working on Win xp pro..

New numbering to begin on left page?

I am trying to print a double sided document and the printer has me print all the odd/right pages then flip paper and print the even/left pages.
The first page of the index in my InDesign file (page "a") begins on a left facing page in the document - but prints as a right facing page (starts a new piece of paper). This leaves a blank left-facing page before Page A - and the rest of the index prints with odd pages on right and even pages on left.
How do I eliminate this blank page and have "Page a" begin on a left facing page and the rest of the document print as odd-facing pages on left and even-facing pages on right?
I know there is a work around by overriding master page items and numbering settings - but I hope there is a way through InDesign to fix this.
Thank you

As far as I can tell, your only options are to
1) Print the first page separately, and then do the others
2) Add a blank page at the beginning of your document (and make sure to check Print Blank Pages in your print dialog)
I have this issue all the time, because all my catalog sections start on the left-hand page. I use option 1 above to get the print-order correct, but I really wish there was a print option for Duplex follows Layout to force the pages onto the correct sides.

Reducing pdf dimensions (to show pages only)

I have a book made into an acrobat PDF (version 1.6 made in Acrobat 7). The PDF was made via one double page SPREAD of the original book is equal to one page of the PDF.
Is there a way to cut the pages of the entire pdf, increasing the number of pages, so I can see only one book page per one pdf page? Or do I have to do this manually, like crop spreads to make single pages in Photoshop, then into Quark, then a pdf?

G5/dual/2.0ghz/3gigRAM/OSX5.8/CS3 Extended/Quark7.31

Paul, ok, I have successfully duplicated the body within the document and followed your crop right/odd only and crop left/even only instructions. Do I now manually move pages into proper order? Every two pages are out of order. I am drag and dropping to get them in order, or did I crop the spreads wrong? John

Issue With Page Break When Sorting is also applied on group

In the template I group the data based on CLASSIFICATION and then sort on the same column CLASSIFICATION. I have a page-break applied for every group.
When I generate the PDF, I am not getting the page-breaks for every group. Instead some of them are displayed in the same page.
But when I remove the sorting that I had in the template on the column CLASSIFICATION, I am getting the output in the desired way but not in a sorted order.

Hi All,
I am using MS-WORD 2007 and BI Publisher desktop 10.1.3.3.3.
When I use split-by-page-break, splitting is performed for every line .. but not for group of lines.
Can anybody throw some light on this?
FYI...
I am using this code:
?if: position() mod 6= 0?
?split-by-page-break:?
?end if?
(Of course with in tags)
in G_LINES loop.
Can anybody help me out :-(

Smartform issue with page break

Hi All,
I have an unusual issue with page break. Here is my scenario, I have a group of items in my table main area and for each group there is sort of header that prints. Similarly there are multiple groups needing a header whenever there is a new group printing. So far it prints fine. But whenever there is a page break and when items from the same group also print on the next page the same header needs to print on the top of next page similar to how the header area repeats on each page. Unfortunately I did not see any page break event for table main area.
Here is an alternative I have tried but having issues: I have created two rows for this group header one printing from header and another printing from main area. Whenever there is a page break the same group header prints as part of the header and on the rest of the page it prints from the main area. But in a particular scenario, there is a new group starting at almost bottom of the page but as there is not enough space left on the same page (page protection) jumps to next page. In this case there are two group headers printed one coming from the preivous page main area and another coming from the next page header. I hope my explanation is clear enough to understand.
Please suggest if there is any basic feature of smartform that I have missed out can solve this issue or if there is another alternative you can think of. I appreciate your responses.
Thanks..

I was able to solve this issue on my own.
Instead of checking for a page break on header line I am using a flag that is prepopulated in the table. I set this flag whenver a new group of items starts. If the flag is set I print it from the main area and if it is not set I print it from the header. This helped in avoiding the multiple header lines..

How do i fix my printer when it won't show the print preview for web pages? it worked and now not.

how do i fix my printer when it won't show the print preview for web pages? it worked for a while and now it doesn't. printer is an hp officejet 7310 all-in-one.

I would suspect this is a hardware issue. The rollers are probably having issues picking up the relatively smooth thick media. You might have better results be cleaning the paper pickup rollers with a damp paper towel. Also make sure the paper is snugly loaded and the paper guides have been correctly positioned.
