Used Adobe Indesign/Illustrator

HI , im trying to purchase a used bona fide adobe Indesign and illustrator , can someone point me in the right direction. sorry if this is in the wrong section, Pablo317

adobe doesn't sell pre cs6 versions of its software.
you would have to take your chances and use a re-seller like ebay or amazon etc.

I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it. help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks

I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it.
Is it not possible to create a text box, fill it with dynamic (data driven) text, but make the font size either scale up or down automatically, so that the entire text box is filled? This is a feature in PrintShop Mail Pro called COPY FIT. but no such feature in Indesign??
help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks, DJ

lol... it seems to work, but I have another huge problem!
Apparently .CSV files cannot contain page breaks in the data! The data I am trying to merge is a 'letter', with paragraphs, line breaks, etc.,
But, after data merging, it ignores page breaks and only merges the first paragraph of each letter. (sigh)
Solution? Hopefully, an EASY solution. lol as we have thousands of records.
Is there a third party indesign plugin that will allow .xml, or .xls data merge import??
Thx,
DJ

My mac repeatedly reflows the screen and all the open file windows. why is this happening and how do I fix it? it happens while using Adobe InDesign 3.

this happens from time to time and I think in the past I have done a restart to make it stop. it's possible it only happens while using Adobe InDesign CS3 but I have not watched diligently enough to say for sure. the hard disk repeatedly, every 30 seconds or so, spins up and the entire screen reflows, finishing on the finder with open windows all opening in order. everything moves. then I need to go back to InDesign only to have it happen again. I don't necessarilly touch any keys or the mouse. as I type here it has stopped so maybe it really is an InDesign issue. does anybody know what's going on?

BDAqua and old comm guy,
thanks so much for the good advice. I used both of these and now the problem has stopped. first I checked the finder crash logs and yes, my finder had been crashing repeatedly.
next I removed the preferences files from the library, rebooted from the CD and ran disk utility to repair preferences. since then my computer has been stable.
there were some preferences that didn't get repaired when I ran disk utility. I am copying them here to refer to later if I need to. I don't understand what these mean to me:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/afpLoad" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskManagement.framework/Versions/A/Resources /DiskManagementTool" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "usr/sbin/pppd" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "usr/sbin/vpnd" has been modified and will not be repaired.

How to create a new plugin using Adobe InDesign CS5?

How to create our own plugin using Adobe InDesign CS5?is there any documents available for this?

Sure. (Didn't Google find anything?)
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/sdk.html
But you don't "use" InDesign to write plugins. You need a C++ compiler and a lot of programming knowledge and experience with C++. If this means nothing to you, don't look any further -- it's way too complicated to "go and get started" at random. Adobe's documentation is not intended for learners, starters, and people who shrink back at the thought of having to read multiple help documents that are each a couple of megabytes large.
Using the SDK is so complicated there's even a part of the forum dedicated to it, aptly (and obviously) called InDesign SDK. If you browse the messages in there, you can get an idea of the most common pitfalls and problems.
If the above scares you off, well, that was fully intentional (sorry, but it is). It's by far easier to write scripts. Scripts have several advantages over plugins:
1. They are platform independent (Javascripts are; AppleScript is just for Macs and Visual Basic is just for Windows). Plugins are exclusively platform dependent. To write the same plugin for both Windows and for Mac, you have to know all the pitfalls of changing code from one platform to another, and you need a complete working compiler and development system for both platforms.
2. They are version independent. Simple scripts work on a fairly great range of InDesign versions -- some of my own scripts date back to CS, and are totally or virtually unchanged. It's even possible to force "too old" scripts to work with newer versions.
3. Scripts can do most of the things a plugin can do. The main difference used to be that plugins allow you to write a fully integrated look-and-feel part of InDesign, but with the advance of ScriptUI and event handlers and menu customization, you come quite far. Only for highly specialized functions you still need a real plugin (custom item integration, custom spell and hyphenation modules, stuff like that).
4. The scripting community is very active -- it also has a forum of its own, called (well, obviously) InDesign Scripting -- and are a friendly lot, always ready to help. (Unless you whine about how to do every little thing. (That is, I can't stand that personally. Others may not mind.))
5. Scripting is easy. ... not really, but it is fairly easy, and compared to writing a custom plugin in C++, it's a breeze, a walk in the park, and a summer stroll all rolled into one.

My school has purchased the $239 CC plan. how do we download or use Adobe Indesign from a computer? What, actually, have we paid for?

Adobe Indesign & Illustrator CS6 will not open files off server after Mac Maverick update.

I updated to Mac OS X Maverick and all the sudden my InDesign and Illustrator will not open files off of my works network. I read somewhere about installing the new Java update may help fix it, but I tried it and it did not. I have restarted my computer and reset the connection to the server multiple times, but it does nothing.
The exact message I get is: "Cannot open the files "xxxx.indd" Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or the file may be open in another application" I know for a fact that it is not open in another application so it is not that. I have tried multiple files on the server as well.
For Illustrator, I try to open a file from the server and it just freezes and does not respond so I have to force quit.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help!

If you had asked before you did this I would have told you not to move to Mavericks unless you were prepared for problems. I’m not a proponent of upgrade installations for operating systems and there’s no way to eliminate that as the cause.
That said, before you start erasing the whole machine, try uninstalling CS6 and then reinstalling it. You might want to run the cleaner tool after the uninstallation.

Adobe Indesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop wont update

I'm trying to use the Folio Builder in InDesign CS6 but when I access the panel it says updates are required. I went to Help>Updates and it says : "The update server is not responding. The server might be offline temporarily, or the Internet or firewall settings may be incorrect." It's been doing this with all my Adobe programs for about a month. I've downloaded the 4 updates off the Adobe site manually for InDesign CS6 and still nothing has changed. I don't know what to change in the Internet/firewall settings or why I even have to. Also I did not download the actual programs off the Adobe site, I purchased a box set at a local store.

Everydayjlm, Please try to download and install the updates manually for InDesign CS6 from below link.
Windows : Adobe - InDesign : For Windows : Adobe InDesign CS6 8.0.2 update - All Languages
Macintosh : Adobe - InDesign : For Macintosh : Adobe InDesign CS6 8.0.2 update - All Languages
Hope this works.
Thank you.

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
Sen

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…
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.

Out of memory error, while using Adobe InDesign

I have been running Adobe inDesign for a couple of years with no problems. This is the first time I got a, "Out of memory" error when attempting to save the document as a PDF.
Windows 7, Dell Studio XPS, 2.80 GHz Processor, Memory: 9 GB Dram, Hard Drive: 1.5 TB, 1.56 MB cache.
Firefox v33.02
What should I do to get back the memory?
Thank you,
Don Schaaf

Hi Don, is this an Adobe site you are using in a Firefox tab, or the stand-alone InDesign application?
If it's in the application, you may want to try Adobe's forum. You also could try closing other open applications to have them release memory and then try creating the PDF again.
Please note that if Firefox has been running for a long time and is using a lot of memory, it may take several minutes to release it all, as various files are (slowly) updated at shutdown. You can monitor its progress in the Windows Task Manager on the Process tab. Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open the Task Manager, and then click the processes tab. Firefox will be listed under firefox.exe here. Please allow it to shut down normally instead of using the End Process button, unless it appears to hang (no movement in the amount of memory used for several minutes).

Problem using Adobe InDesign CS5 to prepare a PDF to upload to Magcloud:

I’m using the 30-day trial version of Adobe InDesign CS5.
I’ve downloaded the Magcloud template, created a document using InDesign CS5, exported it to PDF and uploaded it to Magcloud. Magcloud rejects my upload, saying it has the wrong number of pages. For example, if I create a 24-page document in InDesign, Magcloud thinks it has only 13 pages – front and back covers, plus 11 two-page spreads.
Details, please, on how to export from InDesign CS5 so that Magcloud will see the same number of pages that InDesign does.
Thanks,
RC

Sounds like you exported to PDF (Interactive) instead of choosing PDF (Print) from the dropdown or using one of the Print presets from File > Adobe PDF Presets...

Devanagari MT problem in Adobe InDesign & Illustrator CS3

Someone is helping me create a graphic by emailing me the Hare Krishna mantra in Devanagari MT. Devanagari MT this person has sent me is editable and copy and paste and displays fine in Pages 08, but when I copy and paste the same script (with the Devanagari QWERTY keyboard selected) into Adobe InDesign or Illustrator CS3, the diacritics on the conjuncts separate like there is a kerning problem or something.
The same problem occurs when I try to type HRE (with the Devanagari MT QWERTY keyboard selected) in InDesign to get 'Hare'. 'Ram' types and display displays OK because there are no diacritcs.
Also, I am not a Sanskritist and I have no idea how to get the word 'Krishna' to appear correctly in this font. Typing Krsna and Krishna doesn't come close to the correct Devanagari script. Anyone know the keystrokes to get those conjuncts in Krishna's name?

Old Adobe stuff doesn't normally support Devanagari. See these notes:

Using adobe Indesign plug-in editor

Hi All, I am very new in developing plugin's for adobe indesign in mac. I came to know that there is tool "Indesign plug-in edtior" for creating new plug-in's for Indesgin. I downloaded the Indesign plug-in editor from "http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/InDesign_Plug-in_Editor". i just double clicked on the Ellicpse to get the ellicpse editor. Here i tried to create a new project by clicking the File->NewProject. A new Project dialog opened.Here i double clicked on the "In design plug-in development" folder and clicked on the "New Indesign Plug-in Project" and clicked the next button.When i clicked the next button It gave me an error dialog saying "Dolly input files are either not found or read only". How do i resolve this problem?

It's really annoying Adobe elected to name it a plug-in editor -- you have to write a plug-in first before yo can edit it ...
It's not really a point-and-shoot procedure; you need to start from scratch: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/InDesign_Plug-in_Editor#How_to_Get_Started_with_the_A dobe_InDesign_Plug-in_Editor (it directs you to the Starting Guide pdf from the SDK).

Adobe inDesign/ illustrator on Mac

MBA seems to slow down A LOT when I try to run inDesign or illustrator on my laptop. The screen also freezes pretty frequently even though i don't really have that many applications running at the same time. is this normal??

Probably not if other applications seem to run well. Adobe's Mac apps are notorious for low performance. But you might try asking for tips in Adobe's forums. Someone there might have useful suggestions that you could try. Otherwise, we'll all just have to wait for the next version and hope that Adobe spends more time optimizing performance in their Mac versions.

How to create interactive links, using Adobe InDesign.

After you create a book in InDesign and export as PDF, the links do not work, nothing happens. They are linked to each document individually.
I need to work within the generated PDF.
What to do?
thank you
<moved to the indesign forum by mod>

What version of InDesign? What operating system? What kind of links did you make? What tool did you use? Did you export to PDF (Interactive)?

Hi guys, Im a Print graphic designer ( I use Photoshop, Indesign & Illustrator ) I would like to learn more skills and switch from '' print to web design ''.

While doing some research, i came across some nice Adobe softwares like Adobe Muse and Adobe Edge Animate.
Which one would you recommend me to learn and master? I have also been looking at Adobe After Effects and it seems to be very nice too. I know it's mainly for those in the cinematographic industry but I think it might be useful for me to have some kinda knowledge about it, especially for making some Intros and animations for logos. What do you think about it?
Which one would you recommend me to learn and master? also do you think After Effects would be nice for me?
I have been watching some tutorials on Youtube and Lynda.com about Adobe Muse and Adobe Edge. They are pretty straight forward and I find myself comfortable with it.
But I would like to know the difference between Muse and Animate Edge please. They both seem to be some kinda softwares for those who want to design without coding, right? But apart from that, how do they differentiate from each other.
Hope to get some nice tips, advices from you guys.
Cheers,
Yannick

After Effects is excellent for doing motion graphics. However, it's a pretty powerful program - thus hard to jump into and learn. Start here if you want to learn it: Getting started with After Effects
I would suggest you focus more on the software that does what you want to do (web) and leave After Effects for doing video work.
