Transparency problem InDesign CS5

Hi,
when I put squares filled with colour and then some percent of transparency, the boxes show as filled after a little while.
When I close my document and then re open it, or if I print it, the transparency is back.
Has this happend to anyone else, and is there anyway to solve this?

Check your preferences and under Interface there's an option for Live Screen Drawing, set this to delayed and see if it helps?
It's probably just a screen effect due to the computer specs or something. Check the document in View>Overprint Preview

Problems with transparent objects InDesign CS5.5

Hi, I have troubles with using transparent objects in InDesign CS5.5 (Win7):
If there is a transparent object in the background, is problem to move with another objects over this area. The object moving over the area with transparency "erases" objects below: texts, boxes.... They are not in fact erased, this effect tooks only for the moment of movement and little bit longer. I have to wait for a while and after it is ok, but the work is slower and software is not working fast as I was got used in older versions.
This trouble is not a problem of my computer (I have a new one with 16GB RAM, i5 processor), the same trouble with the same InDesign is on my laptop.
Updates of InDesign are automatically installed.
Can you give me some advice?
Thanks, Petra
this is screenshot - I moved with blue object - below you can see trails of "erasing"

Yes, exactly, looks like glitch in the video. After I stop moving with object, everything is ok again. But not immidiatelly, there is a little delay (1 or 2 seconds). It doesn´t demage my work, it´s only glitch effect. But it delay me in work, it´s not pleasant to work with this glitch effects

Exporting PDF problem indesign CS5

Hello,
I'm trying to export a 72 pages document to pdf in indesign CS5 but during the exporting proces the pdf file disappeares. Who knows a solution to this problem. Thanks in advance for helping me.

what I did was saving the indd file. After that I wanted to export the HR-pdf document so I started the export and after 15 minutes teh file disappeares when it wasn't finished with saving. When i tried to save it as the smallest file size possible there was no problem and the file was exported correctly. So I allready found out that the problem can be found in de export to HD_PDF.

Printing problems inDesign CS5 to an Epson 3880

When printing one color CD cover to an Epson 3880 from inDesign CS5, it fills and exceeds a 8.5" by 11" page. This same procedure has worked excellently for quite some time and now doesn't. I reset Preferences and this didn't work. Any thoughts?

I really appreciate your efforts at helping me, thank you. The document set-up is 8.5" by 11" (portrait). I have simply created a CD case label on the page using a box so I can print two-up, I have not re-scaled the page to my knowledge.
The correct paper size is noted in the print driver, you have several choices under the Epson 3880 menu including borderless or retain size - I have tried both without success. Just to make sure, I have restarted my computer, opened inDesign and then created a fresh new document and it happens again. I also re-set the Preferences again (restarted te computer) just to make sure it took.
I have printed a picture using Aperture and PhotoShop with great results, this problems seems to be isolated to inDesign.

AAMEE 2.1.80.0 Problems - Indesign CS5.5 Deployment

Hi,
im working in an IT Department and recently started to do real software deployment.
So i have a access to a multiuser license of several adobe programs and suites and my first try was to pack up Indesign CS5.5.
Well im using AAMEE 2.1.80 and created a mis packages successful but i cant get it to install.
Im using following command on my test System:
(First killing firefox then)
"msiexec /qn /i path-to-cs5\Build\InDesignCS5_5.msi"
The installation seems to run fine for quite a while, even the InDesign icon appears in start menu but then it starts to remove the whole package again.
Windows Log just tells me that msiexec quit with a 1603 error but i cant finde any more detailed log for the installation.
After several new packages (with updates, lincense etc) i also tried the manual instalation (no with a package created by aamee) and it works fine without any errors.
Im really getting frustrated :-/
Why does the normal installer work fine but the created package crashes all the time with 1603 error?
btw i tried all the method on the adobe page (deleted temp, unreg and so on) nothing did help and there is also no detailed log why the installer crashes.
Thanks!

I am also having this issue on a x64 bit machine.
I desperately need a fix.
I am not getting any information as to why this could be happening.
Thanks,
Toby

Norwegian charcters Unicode problem, InDesign CS5, Windows 7 64 bit

Hello
I have a problem with moving files from within an indesign plugin. I try to move an image file to the same folder as the inDesign document.
The problem is that the document folder contains norweigian characters. The folder name is: Boligdrøm_FW. If the folder is renamed to: Boligdrom_FW, it works without a problem.
The customer is using InD CS5, Windows 7, 64 bit. Im using Windows 7, 32 bit system, I can not reproduce the problem.
Has anyone encountered this problem?
Does anyone have a quick solutions?
Best regards
/ Pontus
Im using the folowing code to copy the file:
res = MoveFile((LPCWSTR)newFilepath.GrabWString(), (LPCWSTR)documentPath.GrabWString());
Im using this code to get the path to the document:
IDataBase* db = ::GetDataBase(doc);
if (db) {
     const IDFile    *dbSysFile = db->GetSysFile();
      if (dbSysFile) {
          PMString    documentPath("");
          SDKUtilities::GetPathName(*dbSysFile,documentPath);
          IDFile        f(documentPath);
          documentPath.Truncate(f.GetFileName().NumUTF16TextChars());

Not sure if this will help. Look at the PMString translation stuff. ( SetTranslated ).

InDesign CS5.5 and CS6 Hang while opening document

hello,
I have the following problem:
Indesign CS5.5 CS6 and hang up several times a day when opening documents on. the user can not make more in the program and must kill the process. After reopening the document opens without problems (probably the recovery file). I have tried all known solutions (delete Preferences, user with admin privileges, delete caches, safe boot, ...)
here a hang report, which meanwhile has been created.
InDesign CS6 hang report - Pastebin.com
Can anyone see something in it and help me?

Indesign CS5 stürzt ab bei Rückgängig, CTRL-Z

Hallo zusammen, habe folgendes Problem: Indesign CS5 stürzt ab und zwar in 90% der Fälle, dass ich "bearbeiten-Rückgängig" bzw. Ctrl-z betätige. Alle Updates installiert, aber na klar habe Win8 und NUR CS5....
Vielleicht liegt es aber doch nicht an einer Windows Inkompatibilität und einer von euch hat eine Lösung?

Danke, das ist nochmal eine gute Antwort. Hatte ich auch schon dran gedacht, wusste aber nicht, wie ich das bei einem existierenden Programm ändern kann. Jetzt weiß ich dass und wie...dann good luck für die nächste session.
thx

Line thickness problem in indesign CS5 and CS6

I use indesign CS5 and many short lines of 0.5 point in my project.
After export to pdf (press) everything seems correct. After rip process from printer office in compressed file lines seems to have different thickness even on large zoom (400%).
High quality pdf from rip prepared by printer office still shows small differences in thickness. Lines are in one solid color in my project.
What is the source of this problem? 0.5 point ines seems not extremely thin.
If the line is not sharp in pdf will it be not sharp in press?

I wouldn't go off what I see on screen. I'd be asking the printer for a hi-res proof. If that's not satisfactory they could run a test on offcuts on another print job to see where the problem lies.
One reason for different linethickness could be that the lines are interacting with transparent areas, giving the appearance of thicker, or could be physically changing the width by a few decimals.
I'd try putting any of the thin lines on their own layer - and perhaps try different PDF compatibilities, from PDF 1.3 to PDF 1.4 etc.

InDesign CS5 transparency issue

Hello everyone, first time poster so unsure if this is in the correction location
The problem I am having is with transparency in InDesign; Im creating a newsletter, with images from various sources, but an image from photoshop seems to be causing me some grief. Its a normal PSD file of a simple "tick" with a transparent background, placed over a tint block. It looks fine in InDesign, prints out fine to any printer or pdf.
When I sent it off for print, our litho printer, seems to re-print out pdf's to another pdf and sends their pdf back to us to proof (It's been a fair few years since I've worked in the print industry so I don't know if this sort of thing is standard). I'm sending our pdf's to them using the default "print quality" pdf setting from InDesign.
The first image is a section of what we get back and the second is an image is of what we send. I've tried lots of different image settings, pdf settings searched the web. I suspect that this is something to do with re-printing pdf's from a pdf, and maybe something to do with the compression used?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the swift replies!
I've tried the mentioned options and cannot recreate the problem. I guess it's time to look for another printer

Indesign CS5 crash during startup - problem with Graphics.rpln

I work in an architectural company and already several of our computers have experienced this very rare and unusual behaviour. During start up of Indesign (not clicking on any file but just launching Indesign) it crashes with the following error:
"Adobe Indesign CS5 has stopped working"
We use Windows 7 64bit, so the first step I did - I went into Application Log which says, so appears to be a problem with Graphics.rpln.

I have tried everything I could think of - removed and reinstalled Adobe CS5, manually removed Adobe folders under %Appdata%\Local and %Appdata%\Remote folders (why can't Adobe delete those things during uninstallation is always a total mystery), changed video adapter drivers, cleaned Temp folders, everything I knew...
None of the other apps like Photoshop or Illustrator CS5 malfunction - only Indesign. What is going on?
Can it conflict with other software we use? We have Bentley Microstation, 3D Max, Office 2010, Kaspersky Antivirus and LOGMEIN installed on this computer...Any clues, guys?

Looks to me like you've never installed any of the patches. Last patch for CS5 was 7.0.4, so I'd start with that and see if ti helps.

Indesign CS5 - Problems with PDF-Export

Hello community,
we do have a problem with Indesign CS5 and exporting data into PDF. It is about that logo on that white surface, which doesnt come along with the rest after the pdf-export. What we did was: We created that white surface in Indesign itself, put an effect on it with the Indesign effect gallery and then imported the logo in the surface ... the logo itself is .psd data. So, if we export it into pdf like that, it is just dissapeared. Does anyone have had a similar problem and what can be done about it?
By the way ... if you put, for example, a simple backgroundshadow on a picture ... done also with the Indesign effect gallery, then you get just a white surface instead of the shadow, after the export into pdf. It does maybe correlate with the other problem ... not sure. Any suggestions?
Thank you very much for your help and kind regards ...

I would create the entire logo, including the white background, in Illustrator, save as PDF and place that in ID.

Generally this should work, but of course there may be occasional compatibility issues across the different programs and their different versions.

Problems copy & paste text from PDF to InDesign CS5

Hey guys
Today, I tried copying and pasting text from a PDF I received from my client, into a InDesign CS5 doc, and the text came out was just random numbers and punctuations.
I've tried exporting Word / RTF & TXT file from the PDF and yet they still come out random. I'm not sure if it's just how the PDF was made, or there is something wrong with my CS5.
I'm on Snow Leopard, CS5 Premium, Acrobat Pro 9 & also Acrobat Reader X.
Any ideas why?

It's the PDF.
Usually, you can copy text out of a PDF, but there is no guarantee *at all*. Older software used to take shortcuts to subset fonts: first character it encountered got coded as #1, the next as #2, etc. etc. If you do a search & replace of each of the nonsense characters, you'll slowly see the original text appearing (thst's not as simple as it sounds, though).
A similar "problem" is that sometimes spaces don't get copied (there is no need for a "Space Character" in a PDF), and that you cannot copy contiguous lines of text as a single paragraph. All of it is because a PDF is not intended nor designed to be re-used after creation.
If you really need this text and don't want to type it in, try to get hold of the original file.
