Stick with Keynote or transfer to Adobe Indesign?
I've only just started to use Keynote, primarily for live presentations. I'm equally impressed by its (creative) simplicity and display quality. However, I'll be producing more and more PDF documents from the Keynote presentations for clients to download (no commercial printing involved, though). The quality of such PDFs, which contains texts, graphs and photos, has to be impeccable (size is secondary) and I wonder if I need to switch to Adobe Indesign for this. Are PDFs made out of Indesign noticeably better than from Keynote?
Thanks,
Alex
I would test the output of Keynote's PDF generator with your presentations to see if you need an improvement in quality... only you'll be able to judge if you need possibly higher quality at the expense of harder-to-produce presentations, no animations, etc.
You say you're not doing color reproduction on commercial printers, so much of InDesign's reason d'etre will be lost. I'd be surprised if you would be able to see any quality loss from Keynote in a web browser or PDF reader.
It sounds like you're making presentations, rather than brochures. My advice would be to use the tool that makes it easiest for you to create great-looking presentations... then you can spend your time making them look better, instead of on color management or page layout.

Cannot open "filename" because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.0).
I updated my whole cloud last week. Now I can't open a InDesign document saved just the day before. I get the error message:
Cannot open “filename” because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.0).
Cannot open “filename” because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.0). You must use that version or later to open the file. To then enable it to be opened in this version, choose save as InDesign CS4 or later, or export to IDML.
This is a document that I created in InDesign CC just last week.Hi Robert,
To open an INDD file in the older version (CS4-CC), you need to save it as an IDML. For CS3 & older versions, save it as an INX.

Saved with a newer version of Adobe indesign (CS8.0)
latest version of creative cloud will not open indesign files i get "saved with a newer version of Adobe indesign (CS8.0)"
You've got the wrong version of InDesign to open the file, it's that simple.
InDesign Cs6 is available on Creative Cloud, and if that's up to date it won't open InDesign CC or InDesign CC 2014 files.
You'll need to download InDesign CC2014 from the Creative Cloud. -
I am learning keynote and want to use it to give lessons in a Bible study class I teach.
when ever I learn how to do something (move a picture creating an animation) I write the steps down so I can repeat it later. Instead of having a notebook full of stuff or a stickies overlay of 5000 notes, I have all the 'recipes' on 1. Is there a way I can associate that 1 stickie so that it automaticly opens everytime I open keynote? Then during the presentation I can either close it or move it off screen

How do I invert colours on an EPS file with a transparent background in Adobe InDesign CS6?
Help!!
I'm fairly new to InDesign and pretty basic in terms of my knowledge but surely this can be done right?....
I have a black and white EPS logo which I would like to be transparent and white to put on a different colour background? (I do also have a JPEG version of the logo too if that makes any difference)?Marika,

Missing font makes Adobe InDesign CS4 6.0.4 crash
Hi!
I am having a problem with the latest version of Adobe InDesign CS4 (v 6.0.4).
I opened an old document which contained two missing fonts.
I was able to correct the first one by changing it to an existing font.
But when I tried to correct the second one, the application crashed.
I did this:
1. Opened the document with the missing font (the first font was now already corrected).
2. In the warning dialog window saying a font was missing, I clicked "Find Font".
3. The missing font was called "Helvetica (T1) Bold Narrow". I set it to be replaced by "Helvetica Regular".
4. Then I clicked "Change All".
5. Indesign CS4 crashes.
This is the information about the missing font (note that it says "First Used: na" which is strange):
Filename: <not installed>
Full Name: Helvetica
First Used: NA
Font: Helvetica (T1) Bold Narrow
PostScript Name: Helvetica-Narrow-Bold
Style: Bold Narrow
Type: Type 1
Version:
Restrictions: Unkonwn (Font is missing)
Path: Unknown (Font is missing)
Character Count: 27
Style Count: 0
Styles:
Page: none
Does anyone have a solution, or is this a bug?
ThanksHi! Thanks for your answer.
I am using Windows XP (SP3).
I tried to export my INDD file (ID CS4 format) to an INX file.
But that also made InDesign crash (perhaps because of the font thing).
Unfortunately I can't change the missing font of the text because:
* I can't see the text frame that contains the missing font.
* InDesign crashes when using the "Find Font" function.
However, this is not a big problem, I can still work with the file. But I will
always get the annoying warning about the missing font, and I prefer to
have no errors in my INDD files. -
Nested Object Calculation using Adobe InDesign with JavaScriptExtended.
Hi
In my App.Document have different types of textframes and images with several parastyles. I want to make mesurement calculation (in mm)the between the particular parastyle data with image using Adobe JavaScriptExtended.
Ex:
<start:>
<Obj:Image>abc.bmp
<Para:Name>Sen
<Para:Add>345, Annan Street
<Para:City>KKT
<End:>
Like above, I have created data with different format, but I would like to calculate (between <start:> and <End:>)this particular type of data in my app.document.
Note:
1. Parastyles are applied in Adobe Indesign
2. Data from Tagged Text.
3. Mesurement in .jsx [javascriptExtended].
I can mesure this issue, but the image indent was distrub to provide accurate mesurement. Please help me to solve this problems.
Thanks and Regards
SenI do know next to nothing about CEP5.
Just a question: Why do you try to escape "/" in the string "editor-vaCome\/ibraEEE" ?
At least this is my guess what you want to do here…
If you want to feed the argument string "editor-vaComet/ibraEEE" to peer.connect() you cannot "escape" that slash… At least not in terms of ExtendScript.

I encountered a very strange error with InDesign CC after saving a file created in CS4. I'd attach the file but I'm not sure how to do this, if I'm able to. The file is 44kb and doesn't seem like it should be (file I saved had a large book cover). Now since the original CS4 file was overwritten using InDesign CC, the file is corrupt and I'm getting the error message displayed below. The file is not open within another application. Has anyone gotten this before?
Thanks for your response Peter. Below is the gibber contained in the first four lines. In the first line, where it reads "mimetypeapplication" and then "indesign-idml-package", I would assume that this should've been a valid idml file.

Hi, I am new to iMAC and I am planning to get one soon. I own an iPAD with Keynote and Pagen in it among other App and I was wondering if I can transfer those to my new iMac or do I have to buy them again for my new Mac

It may be that if you already bought the iPad versions using your iTunes account, you get a discount on the Mac versions? (That's just a guess - it applies with FileMaker, but I don't know if it does with iWork).
There is no discount for one version of the iWork apps due to owning the other version.

Using Peerjs with Adobe InDesign
Hy,
I'm creating my own InDesign PlugIn and I need to connect to another web application I created. I tried using socket.io, but I didn't want to have another server, so I have passed to Peer JS, in this way I have a peer to peer system that would work perfectly, but I met some unexpected problems.
I'm working with Adobe InDesign CC, that uses CEP5, which has support for google chrome BROWSER (CEF (Chromium extended framework )).
In the Docs it's said that CEP5 has support even for WebRTC but when I try to connect with peerjs (wich uses WebRTC) to another peer I get a :"TypeError: undefined is not a function", under further investigation I discovered that the error is thrown by Object.Negotiator._startPeerConnection, but I can't understand what I'm getting wrong...
I tried using the same PEER JS code in another application(just a normal web site) and connecting to the same peer and was successfull, so I'm guessing that the problem is the in WebRTC support provided by InDesign.
I am not confined to using PEER JS, I just want my adobe plugin and my site to communicate in the most intelligent way possible, so any idea is welcome, however this is the piece of code of my plugin where I try to connect to the PEERJS
var peer = new Peer({key: mySecretKey});
var conn = peer.connect('editor-vaComeVibraEEE');//the exception is generated here
conn.on('open', function(){
conn.send('hi!');
Thank's for the help... . . .I do know next to nothing about CEP5.
Just a question: Why do you try to escape "/" in the string "editor-vaCome\/ibraEEE" ?
At least this is my guess what you want to do here…
