When printing in InDesign CS2 it opens a window 'open document' and crashes

This is happening on 2 separate machines, and only intermittently, when I try to print a large InDesign file, instead of opening the print dialogue box a window opens that say 'open document' and then ties up the program so I have to force quit. Usually I have to restart my computer to get InDesign to re-open. This is happening on a new iMac and an old G5 but only sometimes.
Any insight anyone has would be greatly appreciated!

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

    Pardon?
    Or do you mean that, when you created a new document, you choose Web as intent maybe?

    I suspect if you're trying to open a file in 08 that's been opened in 09 the file has been updated to 09 and will not open in 08.

  • On my own website vdha.us, I am now getting many words that are purple and when you mouse over them, a new spamming window opens trying to sell something. IE-9 does not do this. How do I turn this off in firefox?

    Sirs,
    The below URL came up immediately when I tried to access our Newfangled website this morning http://vdha.us :
    http://surveyprizecenter.com/survey/claimgift-GT-kw-7b.php?t202kw=Vdha.us&trimmedKeyword=Vdha.us
    I prefer to use Firefox and very seldom use IE-9. but now I might be forced to remove Firefox 4.0.1 and resort to using IE-9 because of this situation.
    I don’t know how spammers can use our website to exploit their spamming, but I can only imagine the complaints I am going to get from our Board of Directors and members about this.
    Can you make them stop, or at least explain how it is that anyone can do this without our permission.
    We have never allowed advertisement on our website and don’t plan on starting now.
    I am now also getting many words that are purple with two lines under them, and when you mouse over them, a new spamming window opens automatically trying to sell something. How do I turn this off?
    I would appreciate any expediency in the return of an answer that you can provide.
    Kindest Regards,

    The "MySearchDial" app needs to be removed in 4 places.
    1) Go to "add / remove programs" in your windows control panel select mysearchdial and remove it.
    2) Open your Firefox browser then click the Firefox tab at the top left and select options. You will need to change the start page settings back to your preferred start page.
    3) Again under the Firefox tab select "add-ons". In the add-ons manager you will need to remove mysearchdial from both "plugins" and "extensions"
    4) In your search bar (top right of address bar" use the drop down menu and select "manage search engines". You can restore your preferred search engine and remove mysearchdial from the menu.
    This should remove all the components of the nuisance hijacker and restore your browser back to your preferred settings. If you are comfortable with a more in depth removal I would also suggest going to your "programs" folder within the "C" drive of your machine and deleting the "MySearchDial" folder altogether. However, only do this AFTER you have uninstalled it from your system and if you are familiar with this type of removal.

  • Why when I click on a link a new window opens instead of a tab, this is new

    When I click on a link a new window opens instead of a new tab. This is new. I've gone into tools and checked my settings and nothing changes it. It annoys me.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.<br>
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    Hi, All my music files have an exclamation mark on the left and when I tunes asks me to locate a window opens with I Tunes folders but I still cant see my music library . What can i do? Thanks

    The red exclamation mark indicates that itunes cannot find your files.
    Are the music files still on your harddrive. Look n Finder
    Username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media
    If the files are there then keep the option key pressed and open iTunes. A dialog box will open asking you to choose your library. Select Choose and then navigate to the Music/iTunes Folder and click OK

    Hi Ashley Clavette,
    The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
    When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what  exactly happens ?  Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

  • Is there a way of opening up old PSD documents and photos on the iMac please?

    Is there a way of opening up old PSD documents and photos on the iMac please?

    .psd (photoshop) files should open in preview to view them and make some simple adjustments. 
    If you want to edit them but don't want the expense of buying Photoshop (or Elements) for your Mac, consider downloading Gimp - it's free.

    So I've been trying to open some Microsoft Word Documents and it says it can't be opened because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. What do I do about this?

    Workarounds:
    1.  Restore the OS X that you formerly used to run Word 2004;
    2.  Partition your hard drive or attach an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) so that you can "dual-boot" into Microsoft Word 2004;
    3.  Upgrade to Word 2011 or use an alternative program; or
    4.  The solution I use: Install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels 7 or 8:

  • How to open the windows open file dialog in forms60

    Hello to all
    Please help have a form with a browse button.I need to open the windows open file dialog so the end user can search for a file.Can it be done with OLE or DDE package?
    Any sample code is much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    The options you are considering suggest that you are running client-server ( it really would help if people told us ),
    If that is the case you can use the GET_FILE_NAME built in.
    Bear in mind that oracle consider client server obsolete and this will not work the same on the web, although you can use webutil in later versions.
    I hope forms product management notice what a high proportion of questions on this forum are about forms 6.

    Hi - thanks for your help and sorry not to have replied before - I've been away.
    I use mainly Chrome but also tried IE8 just in case - no difference.  However I finally remembered that when I had a similar problem downloading/installing OS4 for my iPhone (which crashed it and caused total lockup for about 4 days, resolved only after hours of calls to iPhone helpdesk) it turned out that the problem was caused by my home wi-fi connection.  When I hard-wired the network connection the problem was solved.  I tried it with iTunes - and it installed first time.
    Don't know what would cause this problem, which as far as I can see affects only Apple software.  Everything else seems to download and install over the wi-fi without glitches. 
    Best,
    John

  • Jagged edges on text when printing from InDesign

    When I print text from InDesign, it prints with rough edges. This happens with text created in InDesign or imported from Photoshop. I can export the same image to a PDF though and it prints perfectly from Acrobat.

    Well, I'd say that you should just do your printing from Acrobat.
    ID is not really all that good at printing direct to a printer, and it won't print properly at all to some common ones (mostly HP and Ricoh, but not all of either). Are you printing for proofs or final output? I strongly advise printing proofs from the same PDF files that you will be sending out, anyway, and PDFs tend to process faster in the printer than native InDesing files, so you often can shorten the time it takes to get output by exporting to PDF, even including the time it takes to export (plus, export is a background task so you can continue to work in ID, but printing direct ties up the application).

  • Crashes when printing from InDesign CS3

    It used to be that when I tried to print in InDesignCS3 in my MAC 10.7.5; I would go to:  Crash printing | Illustrator, InDesign | CS3, CS4 | Mac OS 10.7
    the I was told to just delete the following files:
    [Hard Drive]/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/en.lproj
    [Hard Drive]/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_CN.lproj
    [Hard Drive]/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Ja.lproj
    [Hard Drive]/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/ko.lproj
    [Hard Drive]/Library/Printers/PPDs/contents/Resources/Zh_TW.lproj
    and everything worked out fine.  Now, the above files don't even exist. Is there a new work-around??????

    Thank you for the quick reply. Unfortunately we have already tried in safe mode and the issue is still there. We have also disabled all addons, created a new test profile and uninstalled re-installed Thunderbird and all print drivers, and Thunderbird still crashes when you try to print an email. Customer is considering using a different email client if we cant figure this out soon.

  • Text/image boxes disappearing when printed to PDF [CS2, Win]

    Strange things are happening today: Text boxes and image boxes, perfectly visible in InDesign -- are completely disappearing when printed to PDF.
    The first time I printed, everything came out fine. Then after I moved some stuff around and reprinted, things disappeared.
    Any insight would be much appreciated.

    Yes, that worked. Thanks!
    Any idea why this happened?
