Textframe / table / shadow / crash

I got a problem I can't seem to solve: I have a textframe with a table in it. so far no problem. When I give this textframe a fill ( this causes no problem) and a shadow my problem begins.
When I want to select a cell or multiple cells of the table, my Indesign always craches.
When I go in a cell with my type tool: no problem ...
Has anyone had this problem before? and how did you solve this?

Hey Peter,
I did indeed yesterday, and now everything works perfect!
Thanks for your input.

CS3: Inner Shadow crashes InDesign

When placing images in large documents (1745 x 995 mm) and using the effect Inner Shadow on the image, InDesign crashes when exporting to PDF.
This is a real puzzle cause when I use the same image with that effect in a smaller document (A4) I have NO problem in exporting the document. Why is that? Is there a work-around, some settings I've missed or an upgrade that fixes this problem (I have IND CS3 5.0.3).

I've isolated the problem. Took me about 15 InDesign restarts.
The problem has nothing to do with PDF settings (I tried all the defaults with or without transparency. High-res and Low-res. RGB and CMYK). InDesign crashes when it's trying to download the image with the effect. It doesn't really get to making the PDF.
The problem is...The file size! I tried it with different kind of file-types (jpg, tif, psd - 8 bit, RGB and CMYK with or without icc-profiles)No matter what kind of file InDesign crashes when handling the effect on the image (120 MB). When I used another smaller image (only 20 MB) or the same image downsampled, InDesign made the PDF. So it seems to be the amount of pixels in the image that has an effect on InDesign handling the effects.
Has this something to do with my hardware (PC, 4 GB RAM, 8*3158 MHz processors, Virtual memory: 3 GB) or is it the software?

Import Server - Multiple Qualified Table - Map Crash

Hello,
Requirement: I need to update multiple qualified table using single source file.
Preparation: I have created a map where mapping to multiple qualified table fields maually.
Have created a Inbound Port using the above map.
Problem: Import server throws an exception; while opening the Import Manager using the Port Option and corresponding Exception; Lot of fields were un-mapped. Looks like Import map crashed.
Please feel free to throw some light reg the same!
Thanks
Alexander

Hi Alexander,
If you are performing multiple qualifier table mapping and importing then you will hav eto create differnt map for each table importing.In that case you will rrquire multiple inbound ports and in each ports deatils you will give the map name pertaining to which qualified lookup table you wish to import.
Actually using automatic importing for lookups is not desirable as the lookups always need to be prepopulated before your main table importing.
The exception taht you are receiving could be due to the reason that the map you are saving is using only one table mapping and so most of the fields are left unmapped.
try not to use automatic importing for Lookup qualifier tables and use manual importing and see if the the exception still comes.
Hope it helps
Kindly reaward points if found useful
Thanks

CS3: XML tables cause crashes?

Hi everyone,
We've been using XML with InDesign CS3 for a while now, generally with success. However, we have added InDesign XML tables to our work and have encountered an odd problem. We can import XML containing tables and they appear with the correct layout, and text inside the tables is correctly formatted by Map Tags to Styles (on paragraph-level tags inside the table cells, not the Table and Cell tags themselves). However, when we try to cut a selection that includes an XML table, InDesign frequently crashes.
If we de-tag the tables, the problem goes away, but this is not really an option for us as we want to be able to Export XML once layout is complete.
Has anyone else ever encountered this crash? What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks!
Lester

Special Characters Table makes crash Numbers & Pages

Hello All,
I have a small problem with Numbers & Pages.
When I open the "special characters" table and keep it opened to insert characters, after 3 or 4 insertion, it makes freeze and crash Pages or / and Numbers.
However, I've found out that if I close this "SC" windows after each one or two insertion, and re-open it for next insertion, everything run smoothly. Obviously, this method is very messy if you've got to get special characters twice or three times in every word you're typing.
Anybody has faced the same issue or found a better way to solve it ?
Thanks
IanX

Hello
I never met this behaviour so I made a new try.
I was able to insert the entire set of Greek characters with no problem.
So, I guess that something is wrong in your system.
a - reset Permissions using Disk Utility
b- trash these preferences files:
<bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Keynote.pli st
<bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Numbers.pli st
<bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist

Table component crashes Yahoo Widget Engine

Experts,
I've been diving into widgets recently, seem to have found a bug and was wondering if anyone else has encountered it or has found a solution. The steps to reproduce the error is as following:
- Generate a kitchen sink widget from eclipse.
- Run it.
- Open the Table component example in the menu, maybe even click a row.
- Right click the widget and close it.
- A crash report of yahoo widgets pops up.
This sometimes occures when using the sort button of the table and only occures when tables are used. I have tested this on an updated unclean and clean xp install of a Dell Latitude D830 and HP dv9064 pavilion. The main similarity is that both use an nVidia card.
The machines are using Java 1.6.0_13, Yahoo widget engine 4.5.2, eclipse 3.4.2, XP SP3 Pro and Mediacenter edition.
I'm assuming the problem lies with the code of Yahoo (widget framework) or Cairographics (gui framework) but was wondering nontheless whether I'm the only case of this issue.

Hi!
I think that problem exist because MS SQL 2008 SP2 is used with MS DMP 2010.
But I can't create backup DPM databases - solutions described in article submited by you doesn't work.

Can I do DPM database backup in another way e.g. SQL Management Console before reinstalling MS SQL 2008 and DPM 2010?
I can't lose my DPM server data.

Table shadow in Dreamweaver

Is it possible to assign a shadow effect to a table
in Dreamweaver?
Example:
http://www.crocs.com/home.jsp
I am designing a template that has tables with rounded
corners much like the example site, but I would also like to add
shadow to the table to lift it off the page. Can this be done in
Dreamweaver?
Thanks

It is done in the CSS code but it is not fully cross browser
compatible.

Nested Tables - Oracle Crashes !

Hello Everyone
You might help me to sleep tonight.
Ok, here is the problem.
I used a nested table to collect data. After collection, I get repeated records in collection result. I tried to operate to get a distinct result operating SQL operation but oracle gives nasty error and kicks me out the session.
HERE is the code :
create or replace package rule_engine

i t_course_count;
begin
insert into table(i) select * from table(v_course_count);
end main;
end rule_engine;

Table View crashing when trying to use UITableViewCell from NIB

Hi All,
I have narrowed down my issue to a simple piece of code. I have a simple NIB file which only contains a UITableViewCell with a label on it. In the NIB i set the cell class to StatCell, which is a UITableViewCell class I created, and set the identifier to "MyStatCell". The following code is the rowAtIndexPath function of my UITableView.
static NSString *StatID = @"MyStatCell";
StatCell *statCell =(StatCell*) [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:StatID];
if(statCell == nil){
statCell = (StatCell *) [[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"StatCellView" owner:self options:nil] objectAtIndex:1];
[statCell autorelease];
return statCell;
The initial TableView shows up fine, however once I scroll past a few rows, it halts with the EXECBADACCESS. Any ideas as to what my issue may be?
Thanks a ton

InDesign CS3 crashing adding table style...HELP!!

This issue started on Friday. I just starting working on a large document that will have many tables throughout, so I must use the table styles. Here is the order in which I do things to get the crash.
Place document from Word in to InDesign document
Highlight table to be changed
Convert text using paragraph styles
Alter column widths to fit page
Highlight entire table to select table style
Click desired table style
CRASH!!!!
I have tried the following things with NO LUCK:
Deleted adobefntX file multiple times (actually worked for a couple of hours first time I did it)
Deleted InDesign preferences (did nothing)
Re-created all "Styles" in InDesign (Character, Paragraph, Cell, & Table) (Did nothing)
Changed the order in which I altered the tables text and formatting (thinking it was just a silly order problem)
Unistalled and Re-installed CS3 (worked for 5 tables and then CRASH)
Updated ALL software (Adobe and Mac)
Started up in Safe mode and CRASH!!!
I realize from seraching for this problem on the web that I am probably the ONLY person having this issue, but I thought it was a font problem until I started in Safe Mode and still crashed. I am totally confused as to what I should do next. I am running on a
Model Name:    MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:    MacBookPro4,1
Processor Name:    Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:    2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors:    1
Total Number Of Cores:    2
L2 Cache:    3 MB
Memory:    4 GB
Bus Speed:    800 MHz
Boot ROM Version:    MBP41.00C1.B03
SMC Version (system):    1.27f1
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I am not familiar with InDesign Interchange, do you think this will help?
That's why I suggested it. But you didn't answer my question: Is this happening with only one file? The reason I ask is because if one file is corrupted, saving to INX and back to INDD often clears out minor corruptions. If you're seeing this in many files it's unlikely they're all corrupt.
1. Convert text using paragraph styles - I meant modified "placed" text using character styles
Now I'm really confused. Your steps are:
Place document from Word in to InDesign document
Highlight table to be changed
Modify placed text using character styles
Are you really highlighting an entire table and applying a character style? While this will work to modify certain formatting aspects, it's not really the best approach. Character styles are for characters *within* a paragraph. Paragraph styles are for *entire* paragraphs. Each table cell contains at least one full paragraph, even if it's just a single number, a space, even if there's nothing there at all. If you want to format the contents of an entire cell or range of cells with the same formatting, use a paragraph style, not a character style. If you want to italicize one or two words in some text in a cell (the way I just did), then use a character style.
I really feel that the issue either stems from fonts or from placing the document from Word.
Could be. Cheap fonts are the cause of many problems in Indesign. Indesign is really picky about fonts. But let's try the easy fix first (INX). If you don't trust it, save the .inx to a new .indd filename (keep your old .indd file as a backup).

Opening table crashes acrobat plugin---is my table lost?

I have a table that many colleagues have entered information in. Over the weekend, my boss entered her comments on her personal computer and now when any one tries to open the table, it crashes the adobe plugin. I am very worried that this means all the data in the table is lost. Can adobe send me a .csv or earlier version of the table? Please let me know my options.
Thank you!

Hi,
Please share the form to me ([email protected]), and I'll take a look.

DML Error Logging for underlying tables autocreated for dimensions

Hi,
I have problems with logging errors during mapping for underlying tables that are automatically generated for creating dimensions. I know that DML Error Logging is supposed to work only on tables, views and materialized views, and I have tried it out using a pure table in a mapping without any reference to a dimension and specifying the error table name for it. This works perfectly. The error rows were captured correctly in the error table and the correct rows were also loaded successfully to the target table.
However when it comes to mapping to a dimension, I have some issues with that. I specified the shadowtable name for the underlying table(right clicking on the table in design center and then choosing configure), and after deploying I did check that the error table/shadow table and also the target table were indeed created in the database.
The problem lies now in the mapping because I am actually mapping to a dimension and not the underlying table the dimension references to. It seems that the mapping did not manage to capture details of the error table for the underlying table that the dimension was referencing to and thus were unable to capture the errors. Only the corrected rows get loaded and there were no error messages during the loading that suggests that the incorrect rows were detected.
Would appreciate some assistance here.
Thanks!
WY

Hi
The DML error logging feature in 10gR2 and 11gR1 was restricted purely to tables, so the dimension operator did not support it. This is now supported in OWB 11gR2 (plus there is the orphan management functionality).
Cheers

Change font size of an table with javascript

Hello!
i am new to developing in javascript as well as to indesign. i have to make a few changes to an existing script. in a user dialouge i get the font size in which the imported table should be. but how can i change the font size of an table???
please respond as soon as possible. thanks very much in advance.
moketas

Hi
do you want do like this (rightside) ?
To apply font to each cell, you must access TextFrame => Table => Cell => any TextObject
var doc = app.documents[0];
// two textframes, they have a table (2x2)
var tf_one = doc.textFrames[0];
var tf_two = doc.textFrames[1];
//applied to story
tf_one.parentStory.appliedFont = "Myriad Pro\tLight";
tf_one.parentStory.pointSize = 24;
//not effective against table text
//applied to text-object of each cells of table
tf_two.parentStory.tables[0].cells.everyItem().texts[0].appliedFont = "Myriad Pro\tBold";
tf_two.parentStory.tables[0].cells.everyItem().texts[0].pointSize = 24;
thank you

Procudure to count all the rows in a all tables in the schema

When I run the following store procedure to count all the rows in all the tables I crash my sql Plus editor:

What am I doing wrong.
Thanks for any help Tony

The boss gave me 5 pages of tables and wants to know how many row there are in each table. There is a problem of one DB being out of sync with another.
But I have managed to work the problem though.
here is the working code:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TC_TABLEROWCOUNT (
TableOwner IN varchar2)
IS
row_count number;
vTable varchar2(30);
v_sqlstmt varchar2(100);
cursor get_tab is
select table_name, num_rows
from all_tables
where owner = TableOwner;
begin
dbms_output.put_line('Checking Record Counts for schema maxdev ');
FOR get_tab_rec IN get_tab LOOP
vTable := get_tab_rec.table_name;
v_sqlstmt := 'SELECT count(*) from '||vTable;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_sqlstmt into row_count;
dbms_output.put_line('Table '|| get_tab_rec.table_name || ' Row ' || row_count);
END LOOP;
END;
