URLs in InDesign CS5

This is my first attempt at this and I have not been able to find out if and how to do this. Is it possible to place a piece of content (schematic, for example) by specifying a URL, rather than referring to a file using a standard windows path? I appreciate any feedback on this. Stephen

I am not sure I understand the question.
InDesign does not have this capability on is own.
Are you asking if I have tried it even though it's not possible? Well....yes. And it still does not work.

Linking URLs to InDesign CS5 exported .swf files

I primarily work in print design, but I've exported a few animated .swf files of web banner ads from InDesign CS5, and the folks on the receiving end can't use them because they're unable to link them to a URL (in whatever manner they're able to with other Flash files). I was hopeful that I could open the files in Flash and edit them there, but it seems not to be an editable file. It's been pretty frustrating watching work go down the drain and people have to settle for less glamorous static ads. Does anybody know a solution?

I think I may have responded to this in the community help section, but I'll repeat what I said there. InDesign has some impressive Flash capabilities but using it to create an entire website....no, not a good idea at all.
The size of the SWF files is a major issue and they are quite simply not suitable for this purpose. Additionally, an entire website in Flash is an SEO nightmare so it won't matter how long it takes to load since nobody is likely to find it.
Flash should be used judiciously on the web. In fact, I never use it. All that said, the only advice I can offer if you decide to ignore the rest of it, is to export to FLA, open it in Flash Professional and finish it up there.

Open a URL link in the same window as SWF file in indesign CS5

Hello,
I am trying to create a SWF file using indesign CS5. I have created buttons and placed in URL links but they always open another window. I would like to know if there is a way to have the URL open in the same window that the SWF file has been created. I tried, putting "_self" to target it in the URL bar, but nothing works.
Thanks in advance
TK

Okay, I found the code but I can't get it to work locally. If you have a web server maybe you can upload the files (swf and html) after you Publish them:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://www.google.com");
testlink.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickText);
function clickText(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(myURL, "_self");
you have to have on the stage a link element called "testlink" (see the code above) which would be a Movie Clip with the label testlink. It can be anything from InDesign: a button, a rectangle, a circle, a graphic, you get the idea. Just select that object in Flash and label it testlink or anything you choose but if you change the name from testlink also change the name in the code snippet where the line "addEventListener" is.

Indesign CS5 crashing on document open

I'm having a problem with a roughly 30 page indesign cs5 document - on opening it crashes within a couple of seconds. In the windows 7 (64bit) error log, it gives me:

Deleted all fonts used in the project
Tried placing the indd inside another doc
In case you wanted to try it for yourself, you can download the file here: version 1 & version 2.
Is there anything else I should try?

Hi Bob,
Naturally we of course charge and it costs only 99, no-cure, no-pay. It does not get any better than that. Do you know how much time I spent recovering this customers file? More than an hour. It often takes "testing" page-by-page, by deleting a page, re-saving and repeating this step each time, from the recovered file in the 'intermediate layout format,' as just one 'for example' story from the trenches. Each job has generally something interesting and these files from the OP were tiny compared to some of the huge jobs we have to download, deal with and re-upload. This all said, I do see your point, so I think you should fully understand how I was 'led' here in this case, since you asked...
In this case the OP (original poster), emailed me the link to THIS forum url and asked me to help. So I did. Thus no, no bait being used here at all. Yet quite frankly, many would GLADLY want to hear about this service before going through many and various loops of fire only to have no results, when the Markzware no-fix, no-pay InDesign file recovery service is available, as this recent customer testimonial closes with (He wished he would have just turned to Markzware right from the start):
"...Within one or two hours, Markzware had the converted and fixed file back with all of the images and content preserved and it now opened perfectly. So to be honest, if we had know about this Markzware Corrupted InDesign File Recovery Service off the bat, we would have gone straight for it."
Devin Drake - CEO at appacci
Thank you Bob for all the referrals as well, we appreciate that. Please keep them coming! In this case though, we were led here by the OP in a rush, like many of these bad InDesign jobs end up being, for a recovery solution. We provided that recovery with no strings attached, as we always strive to deliver.
Have a great one,

InDesign CS5.5 Exporting PDF master page hyperlinks only work on first 2 pages

We recently upgraded from CS5 to CS5.5 and now our hyperlinks that go to different pages in the PDF only are working on the first 2 pages of each document in the book. We have about 30 documents wrapped up in a indesign book. On the master page we have hyperlinks that allow users to quickly go to the index in the back of the book. After the CS5.5 upgrade the hyperlinks only work the the first 2 pages of each document. We export to PDF(print) with hyperlinks enabled.
I have tried the below:
- I have tried 2 different computers
- Deleted and re-created the indesign preference file
- deleted and re-created the hyperlinks

Can you recommendd the best way to manage the following:
I'm on a Mac. Created an enewsletter for a client in Indesign CS5 with 7 "click here"s throughout the document. The hyperlinks are to connect w other PDF documents not URLs.
Where will I have the best luck creating the hyperlinks - Indesign or in the PDF I export? I have Acrobat Pro if I need to create the hyperlinks in the PDF.
Except I can't figure out how to create the links in either program as far as what name to designate and where do the PDFs reside so people can link to them? And do I enter the file name of the PDF connected to the particular "click here."

Unchecking "Shared Hyperlink Destination" causes InDesign CS5.5 to crash

This occurs on multiple Macs (running either Leopard or Snow Leopard) in our office. The links are connected to conditional text in InCopy. Here's the scenario:
1) Open the InDesign document and select the linked text.
2) Get a dialog box: "You must check out the contents of this frame in order to make changes. Check out now?" Click "Yes."
3) Copy the text of the link, right-click and select "New Hyperlink."
4) In the "New Hyperlink" window, paste in the text of the URL (leaving in the http://).
5) Uncheck "Shared Hyperlink Destination." InDesign immediately crashes.
I've been told by our designers that you have to uncheck "Shared Hyperlink Destination" to prevent changes to all of the other related links in the document. I don't work with InDesign on a regular basis and have very limited knowledge of InCopy. I tested the current version of InDesign (7.5.3) on my Mac and the same crash occurred.
Here is the first part of the crash report:

Thanks to you both. Excuse my ignorance - I presumed that 7.5.3 was a paid-for-upgrade to Creative Suite 6 (or higher?!)... I thought I had the Updater set to prompt me for updates, but I obviously didn't.
Anyhow - I've since run the updater, but the crash happens the same way. Here's the new crash report.
http://pastebin.com/JNvtTRbn
Hopefully there's something of use in this - I really don't want to have to manually do this: I have nearly 200 film titles that need to be listed in alphabetical order with their respective page number, and the TOC feature would be the perfect solution if it actually worked...
As a matter of interest, how stable is Creative Suite 6 / Creative Cloud? Worth the leap?

InDesign CS5.5 freezing upon opening new document Lion 10.7.3?

Hi there,
When launching CS5.5 InDesign, I select 'New document'. After it is setup (1-2 seconds), it freezes and InDesign is non functional and you have to force quit.
My console log states:
CFURLCreateWithBytes was passed these invalid URLBytes: ‘/Applications/Adobe InDesign CS5.5/Adobe InDesign CS5.5.app/Contents/Frameworks’ (a file system path instead of an URL string). The URL created will not work with most file URL functions. CFURLCreateFromFileSystemRepresentation should be used instead.
The freeze occurs in the admin account and logged in domain user.
I have tried updating InDesign- nothing.
Uninstalling through Adobe uninstaller and reinstalling- nothing.
Not using plugins. We are using Extensis Universal Type Client but I wuit it and turned off the Core to see if that helps- nothing.
Ive repair permissions- nothing
Rebooted- nothing
I ended up upgrading to CS6 and had no problems. I would like to resolve this CS5.5 issue though. Any help?

I copied Mac OS: [Startup Disk]/Library/Applications Support/Adobe/SING/Mark II/Datastore to the desktop and deleted it from that directory. Did the same for the Mark II folder (Solution 2)
-Failing that the first time, I uninstall/reinstall and didnt bother to update, which is why you see the original InDesign. I'll try and update InDesign and move to 10.7.4 to see if that does anything. My
Mac OS: [Startup Disk]/Library/Applications Support/Adobe/SING/Mark II/Datastore does not currently have these folders because I took them out. Maybe I'll run the crash report again and post it. I have to wait for the designer to finish for the day. I'll update possibly tomorrow.
Thank you!

Indesign CS5 add attribute to _self link button?

I created a presentation in InDesign CS5 version 7.0 with video, images and a button that I exported to swf files. The link works, but the button not it open in the same window as the SWF plays.
So, how do I add the _self attribute to the button link?
I tried to open the file. fla professional flash but does not work ..I do not know the use of software
decompile the swf Actionscript 3.0 the link string is:
<Actions>
<URL F="1" t="HLnk1" e="u" u="http://www.edilmglatiano.it/home.html"/> <f URL = "1" t = "Btn1016" and = "d" u = "http://www.edilmglatiano.it/home.html" /> <PlaySeq f="1" id="PI182_Seq_1" e="pl"/> </ Actions>
how can I modify it by adding the attribute _self?
the link of the site is
www.edilmglatiano.it
thanks

That would be nice little improvement to InDesign´s button tool, hopefully it will be implemented...=)
In the meantime you can do something with Flash Professional, but other way around what you have tried... instead of trying to de-compile SWF indesign has produced, you can actually create your buttons in Flash, instead of using indesign´s buttons panel. After you have created your button with _self parameter, you simply export it as SWF and File>Place it to indesign. Choose it and open Media panel and set it open on Page load and pick up the poster from current frame (or use any image as button appearance if you wish). That way you can create button that opens your link to same browser window.
And if you have little bit more time (and patience) you can use a little magic of javascript and add an element called modal window to html-wrapper file that holds your main SWF. Then you can create a button in Flash Professional and use externalInterfaceCall method to call the javascript that opens your links on the top of the page... very web 2.0...=)
Here´s a quick sample, it´s exported from indesign and wrapped up with eDocker... that trick should work without eDocker as well:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17227987/self/index.html
Here´s both Flash buttons
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17227987/self/FLA/self.fla

You can explore the source code of html-wrapper with your browser. You will find all the fancyBox files from

New hyperlink from URL crash in CS5

When I try to create a hyperlink from a url or text in InDesign CS5, many times InDesign crashes. It's mostly when I haven't created a hyperlink in a few hours, and then when I do, InDesign crashes. Once I restart InDesign, I'm good to go and everything works perfectly. Anyone else have this problem?
My system is InDesign 7.0.2 and OS 10.6.4
Thanks!

I'm on CS4 and I've been labouring with this problem for the past year. I have consistently returned crash reports but it concerns me considerably that the same problem has translated to CS5 without a fix in sight. I get the crash with New hyperlink from URL and also with New hyperlink... where the dialogue appears but the program crashes as soon as I try to access the dropdown menu to change to url, email, page or whatever. Like everyone else, I have to restart the program and everything works just fine ... for a while. Now I never call the New hyperlink dialogue without saving the document first, as I never know when it will choose to crash. Despite all my crash reports, which have included my email address, nobody from Adobe has given me any feedback, so it doesn't surprise me that no one from Adobe has taken an interest in this thread.

Paramétrage liens dans fichier SWF depuis Indesign CS5

Bonjour,
Je viens d'installer la version trial de Indesign CS5, j'essaie de créer des documents intéractifs en SWF.
J'aimerais savoir comment faire pour que, lorsque je clique sur un lien dans mon SWF final, il puisse s'ouvrir directement dans le navigateur.
Certains me diront qu'il faut que j'autorise mon flash player, certes ça fonctionne, mais la question est :
Puis-je paramétrer ces hyperliens en amont dans Indesign de façon à ce que les gens cliquant sur ce lien ouvrent directement l'URL sans message de Flash player ?
C'est un peu compliqué à expliquer, j'espère avoir été asez clair.
Merci d'avance.

I don't know the answer to this poster's question but I can offer a translation...
"Hello:
I am installing the trial version of Indesign CS5, and I am attempting to create interactive documents using SWF. I would like to know how to set it up so that when I click on a link in my final SWF file, it opens directly in the navigator. [web browser? not sure]
I've been told that it's necessary that I authorize my flash player, and admittedly that works, but the question is: can I customize these hyperlinks upstream in Indesign in a way that those who click on the link directly open the URL without a Flash player message?
It's a little complicated to explain - I hope I've been clear enough.
Thanks in advance"

Problem creating a 'used sources' list based on EXIF data in InDesign CS5

Hello everyone,
I recently started to use InDesign CS5 to work on school projects. These projects regularly require us to have a list of sources, not only for citations and referenced work, but also for images. As I sometimes make quite long documents, keeping track of what image is where, and where I got it from, gets tedious.
I had the idea of generating a caption based on EXIF data, which I'd move to the pasteboard, and group it with the image. The text in the caption has a seperate, numbered paragraph style. On one of the last pages, I generate a table of contents, which the numbered paragraph style selected. I chose to display it using another paragraph style, without page numbers.
What I want to have as the end result is:
Table of contents
1. <Title>. <Author> (<Creation Date>). Retrieved <Date Placed> through <Description>
The captions display correctly, as shown above in the body of the table of contents. The table of contents itself however, shows only the numbering in front of it, and not the variables.
I already tried converting the live captions to static captions, but that doesn't work. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?

What is it about InDesign CS5 that someone would get this error message?

Hi,
What is is about the .swf file that is generated from the InDesign CS5 interactive workspace that someone would get the following error message when they go to view the site I created?
"This file may contain newer information that this viewer can support. It may not open or display correctly. Adobe suggests that you upgrade to the latest versions of our Acrobat products blah blah blah."
The site doesn't seem to work for four Mac users, but works fine for at least one PC user.
I'm trying to figure out how to save the .swf file down to Flash Player 9, which I've done by exporting a .fla file, then adjusting the Publish setting in Flash CS5. But that throws a wrench into the works...all the animations go haywire by continuously looping and the scale of all the text elements on the first page is much larger than it should be.
Thanks, Steve

if you let iTunes manage your library, all your content will be in <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music/iTunes/iTunes music (or media)/music. did you look there ? tried a spotlight search ?

Unable to debug indesign cs5 plugin in windows

Hi, again. Originaly posted here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/766469?tstart=0
We are having some problems with an indesign sc5 plugin, it works perfectly in macosx but in windows it causes indesign to crash. Anyway after some trouble shooting we tried running it in debug indesign. Problem is that the debug version of indesign wont even start, it fezzes in the splash screen on "Registering xxx plug-ins". It hangs before we can write anything in log files and thatching a debugger gives nothing. Closer inspections
revealed that all the indesign treads is in "waiting" state. Waiting for what? Don't know. Killing one of the threads allows indesign to start but it will not have loaded the plugin and we are back on square one unable to debug.
Anyway I installed the osx version of debug indesign and starting it gives an assert like:
No translation of key 'com.adobe.rc.operationalmessages' to British string.
BreakStrToDebugger
ASSERT_FUNC
Examining the stack of the indesign main thread in windows gives pretty much the same thing:
0, ntkrnlpa.exe!KiDeliverApc+0xb3
1, ntkrnlpa.exe!ZwYieldExecution+0x19ae
2, ntkrnlpa.exe!NtWaitForSingleObject+0x9a
3, ntkrnlpa.exe!KeReleaseInStackQueuedSpinLockFromDpcLevel+0xb14
4, ntdll.dll!KiFastSystemCallRet
5, kernel32.dll!WaitForSingleObject+0x12
6, PMRuntime.dll!ClientShowAssert+0x8d
7, PMRuntime.dll!BreakStrToDebugger+0x15
8, PMRuntime.dll!ASSERT_FUNC+0x117
9, NETAPI32.dll+0xbe86972
(as reported by the ProcessHacker process viewer)
So the win version is trying to show an assert window but fails, locking indesign in the splash screen? Stoping indesign before any plugin execution?
As we cant get any debug information out we don really know what the problem is, making it rather hard to debug. We have triple checked the build and linking options. Studied the plugin exports. Inserted an ridiculous amount of trace statements in the code, doesn't work in the debug version but anyway.
Have anyone had a problem like this or know what might cause it?
What happens in the indesign startup process, what does the “Registering plug-ins” actually do? It's not executing any plugin functions and the the initialization of the plugins doesn't happen until later.

You are correct in that none pf the plug-in code is executed during the "Registering ### plug-ins" phase. What is done here is simply loading the plugins by reading from their resource definitions. For example, if you try to load a CS4 plug-in in InDesign CS5 or if you try to load a release plug-in in debug version you will get errors and popups here and your plugin will not load and be available (these are just example errors and may not be relevant to your case). As far as I know InDesign should not crash just because there is a problem with your plugin, but there could be bugs.
I would recommend:
1. Remove your plugins and verify that InDesign debug starts properly without any 3rd party extensions.
2. Compile one of the SDK sample plugins (debug target) and make sure that InDesign still starts properly.
3. Create a new project using DollyXs, compile it and make sure it loads in InDesign.
4. Remove the template files and add your own source files except the basic .fr file and make sure it still loads in InDesign.
5. Keep changing things one at a time in your .fr file and verify it still loads until it looks exactly like your original .fr file.
Good luck.
Note: "No translation of key 'XXX' to British string." errors is in general quite harmless. It's only a problem with the string translation and should only affect string output in menus/dialogs etc. They should of course be fixed, but can generally be ignored for a while unless an infinite ASSERT loop prevents you from debugging.

Cross reference or hyperlinking not working for InDesign CS5 Book to ePub

I cannot get hyperlinks or cross reference links to work when generating an ePub from InDesign CS5. (7.0.0.355, Mac OS 10.6.2)
Here's how to recreate a simple test demonstrating the issue.
1. Create a new InDesign Book (File -> New -> Book)
2. Create document one (File -> New -> Document)
3. Create a text box and type "Table of Contents"
4. Create document two (File -> New -> Document)
5. Create a text box in it and type "Story One"
6. Create a new paragraph style and assign it to the Story One text
7. Save document 2. I just kept the name Untitled-2.xhtml
8. Back in document 1, add a cross-reference and select document 2, the style you created, and then "Story One". "Story One" should now appear under the previously typed Table of Contents text, and when highlighed, should show it is an active cross reference in the Hyperlinks panel.
9. Save document 1. I just kept the name Untitled-1.xhtml
10. Add both documents to the Book and save the book.
11. From the Book panel, select Export Book to EPUB...
12. Save the epub file and open it in Adobe Digital Editions.
Note that the text "Story One" appears as a hyperlink but when clicked does not switch to the document 2. It does nothing apparent when clicked.
Looking at the XHTML source for the first document, it is immediately evident why. The filename for document 2.thml is missing. It looks like this: <a href="#anchor-anchor">
When it should be : <a href="Untitled-2.xhtml#anchor-anchor">
The same thing works if you create a hyperlink instead of a cross reference.
I note then when I use the option to go to the destinate reference in the Cross Link (hyperlink) panel, it does switch to the second InDesign docuemtn. So the cross reference is functioning (in InDesign). But the link is broken in the ePub for the above mentioned reason.
Bug? Something I'm overlooking?
Entire source of Untitled-1.xhtml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

</html>

As far as I can tell, it has NOT yet been fixed in CS5.5. I'm having the same problem. I have about 90 hyperlinks to fix.
And the explanation that Teus Dejong gives indicates it's not going to be that helpful: "we have found that only the links in documents split by the CS5 exporter will be fixed. For books the script does only work for references to earlier documents in the book, not for forward references. This means in practice that for most books the script will not repair the links and should be seen as a means to add the year only. At the moment I see no way to repair this, because the book epub output of InDesign does not contain sufficient information to repair links referencing forward to others documents in a book."
It's pretty discouraging.

InDesign CS5 file won't open

At my work, we are working on formatting a book in InDesign. We are using the same base template for each file. I created a front matter document with a table of contents (TOC), list of figures (LOF), list of tables (LOT), acronyms, and glossary using that base template. Everything worked fine; I was able to generate the TOC, LOF, and LOT, and could work with the file with no problem. Then I saved and closed the file. Later that day, I was unable to open the file.
The message I get includes the statement, "You may not have permission or the file may be open already."
No one else had opened it and there are no lock files. The other person using InDesign also cannot open it. I made a copy of the file and saved it in another location and still could not open it.
The files are all on our network. We are using InDesign CS5 and Windows7 (64-bit). The only difference between this file and the others are the modifications that I made to some TOC paragraph styles so two paragraphs could be displayed side-by-side in the TOC (i.e., Chapter 1 Introduction all on one line, where Chapter 1 comes from one paragraph and Introduction comes from another by having no leading on one paragraph style).
Can anyone suggest a solution for this? This is rather urgent as the client needs the book by the end of next week.
Thank you so much for your help.
regards,
Marina Michaels

Yes: The message I get says, "Cannot open (file path and name). You may not have permission or the file may be open already."
Thanks!
