• Dear InDesign professionals, I have a problem with an InDesign Document.

  Dear professional inDesign,

  I have a problem with an InDesign Document. While opening, ID crashes down. I tried all the options in your HelpCenter, tried to open it in several applications, several Mac and PC. No luck. Is it possible to open it?

  This document is quite important vor an architecture-projekt.

  Thank you very much!!!

  Greetings,

  Markus

  I'm afraid that I'm not having luck-getting an error code 5 even after running the recovery tools, that I have. I open in a text editor and he was able to read some version information, or at least what resembles the version information, and it seems that it might have been converted from CS to CS2 to CS3, but when generating 443, which was the first production or the latest beta version (do not remember at this point) , but that doesn't help much.

  At this point the only suggestion that I have left is the Markzware recovery service company paid: Bad InDesign or Quark File Recovery submission form

• InDesign User Prefs

  Stupid question, but I have forgotten...

  Where can I find the user of Indesign preferences? They can be trashed can't to they and a new set of prefs built on the renewal program?

  G-5 Mac, OS 10.5.6 CS3

  Thank you

  First of all let me correct the info. For CS3 is preferences file: Mac OS location: ' [user] / Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version 5.0.

  I was wondering because rather than trashing the preferences file , you can change the Preferences with the InDesign > Preferences

  In addition, by selecting a number any of parameters when no document is open will establish these settings globally for all subsequent documents. Being inside an Open document will change these settings so that the document only.

• Adjust the space between text blocks

  Dear Indesign users,

  I am new to InDesign and need help with the following:

  I have about 20 pages each with two blocks of text. The angles of the text boxes are all set differently, but I need even spacing. Is it possible to assign a certain spacing between them.

  

  I tried with guides, but to my knowledge, you can not adjust the angle of the guides.

  Thanks for your help.

  Ferdinand

  Meanwhile, you could always temporarily add a rule below the text in the text frame at the top. Define the offset on exactly the space you need; so you have a visual guide.

  If you change the paragraph style (you have used paragraph styles, haven't you?) simply "allow" only once. then reposition your boxes; Finally, remove the line again.

• How to restore the default permissions (for example, the users folder) in windows 7?

  Dear windows users,

  Recently, I messed up the permissions of the files. What happened is that I took my laptop hard drive (win 7 64 bit system) in a USB external hard drive case. Then I get the USB into another windows office 7. I went through the users (perhaps of other files) folder in the hard disk of laptop on the desktop via a USB connection. It is very likely that the Office has changed the permissions of the files.
  I put the hard drive to my laptop, but some applications gives error like access denied messages.
  Is there a safe way to fix them? How to reset the default permissions?
  Thank you.

  BTW, have you worked with permissions of folders? Do you know what happens if permission to c:\users is messed up?

  When permissions in a subfolder in the users folder are confused so the user will not be able to run some programs, to create, modify or delete some files. The folder property affected, followed by assigning appropriate permissions, is usually sufficient to solve the problem.

• Place a USER name in a box?

  I am trying to add a user name in a box so never saves the last file it there place name in the box that you press save button.  I'll post the code I am using below.  as well as a pic to show what I am wanting.

  #targetengine "myUniqueName".

  Add an event listener for the beforeSave event ' ' what is the execution of a function

  app.addEventListener

  (

  / event you are listening to. As String * / "beforeSave",.

  / Act which is called when it is recognized: * / doTextFrameOnPageOne

  );

  function doTextFrameOnPageOne()

  {/ * THIS IS WHERE SHOULD I PLACE THE CODE BELOW? * /}

  Here you will start your code, that is:

  // 1. Looking for the username

  // 2. Check, if you want to create the text frame is already here

  // 3. Adds the user name, the current date and some other information

  // 4. Tells the document where exactly to put the block of text, dimensions and other properties

  Test the function:

  Alert ("event fired \"beforeSave\"juste.");

  };

  SHOULD this CODE GO in THE FUNCTION between PARENTHESES above?

  var myString = "Hello InDesign" + app.version + "," + getUser() + '.';

  alert (myString);

  getUser() {} function

  VAR myUser = ($.os .substring (0, 7) == "Windows") / / I USE a MAC SO DO I JUST REPLACE "Windows" with "MAC".  ALSO I WANT TO ENTER THE NAME OF INDESIGN USER NOT THE COMPUTER * IF POSSIBLE *.

  ? $.getenv ("USERNAME")

  : $.getenv ("user");

  return of myUser;

  }

  Hello

  I wouldn't work with text customized for all variables.

  With a mechanism just listen to ordinary event.

  Addition and update of information in the text frame will be done whenever the user saves the document with the Save"" command.

  For a demonstration, I recorded a video clip, you can download from my Dropbox here account:

  Dropbox - beforeSave - doTextFrameOnPageOne.mov

  The code I used is below.

  Customize to your needs.

  E.g. Add the text frame on a master page, if you want on each page where the master is applied.

  Name of the image as you want. If you use several frames you will need to loop through all occurrences of the frame if you make duplicates.

  Change the position of the image, change the content to your needs, color of the frame, the size of the text, etc.pp.

  Here is the code base for the addition and update of a block of text on the page of a document whenever the command 'save' is executed by the user:

  // beforeSave-doTextFrameOnPageOne.jsx
  // Uwe Laubender
  
  /**
  * @@@BUILDINFO@@@ beforeSave-doTextFrameOnPageOne.jsx !Version! Thu May 19 2016 09:22:13 GMT+0200
  */
  
  #targetengine "chooseReasonableNameHere"
  
  app.addEventListener( "beforeSave" , doTextFrameOnPageOne );
  
  function doTextFrameOnPageOne()
  {
  
      var frameName = "Temp";
      var doc = app.documents[0];
      var tempFrame = doc.textFrames.itemByName(frameName);
  
      var contentsOfFrame =
          doc.name+"\r"+
          getLogInUserName() +"\r"+
          getLocaleDateString() +"\r"+
          getAppUserName();
  
      // Change the propeties to your needs:
      var tempFrameProperties =
      {
          name : frameName ,
          contents : contentsOfFrame ,
          fillColor : "Yellow" ,
          geometricBounds : [0,0,"50mm","50mm"]
      }
  
      if(!tempFrame.isValid)
      {
          var tempFrame = doc.pages[0].textFrames.add();
          tempFrame.properties = tempFrameProperties;
      };
  
      tempFrame.contents = contentsOfFrame;
  
  }
  
  function getLogInUserName()
  {
  
      var userNameOSX = $.getenv("USER");
      var userNameWindows = $.getenv("USERNAME");
  
      if(userNameWindows == null){return userNameOSX}
      else{return userNameWindows};
  
  }
  
  function getAppUserName()
  {
      return app.userName;
  }
  
  function getLocaleDateString()
  {
      return new Date().toLocaleString();
  }
  

  Important notes:

  1 if the document is not saved at all, and save you the first time, the event is not raised.

  2. If you test the script and that you want to make changes and run the script again, quit and restart InDesign

  I don't have test intensively. All tests are performed with InDesign CS6 v8.1.0 on Mac OSX 10.10.3.

  3. If the script is placed in a startup scripts folder, the script will be automatically activated after that InDesign is started and is active when you exit InDesign.

  4. If the script is run from the Scripts Panel of InDesign it will be active until you exit InDesign.

  Hope, that helps.

• InDesign how compare to LiveCycle Designer ES to create interactive form?

  Hi all

  I work as an assistant COMPUTER in a company. Before my job, my supervisor used LiveCycle Designer to create all our forms. Much of this work fell on me now, but I'm trying to figure out which program would be best suited. I find LiveCycle to be somewhat archaic, and it does not sit well with other programs, even in the following Adobe. More alarming, that seems not be supported almost as well as any other program Adobe, as if he were to be progressive. I don't want to learn this program if it becomes obsolete as soon as...

  What I don't like not inDesign, is that while it covers all the defects mentioned, it does not seem much LiveDesigner employs some advanced features. It comes to things like the calculations behind the scenes and scripts in the PDF itself. If I missed those options, I'd love to be corrected.

  What does the community think? LiveCycle Designer is worth learning, or inDesign powerful enough to provide what I need?

  Thank you

  If you want stuff like that, stick with LiveCycle Designer, with all its limitations. LiveCycle Designer is therefore more part of the Acrobat, is Windows only, etc. etc. My impression is that Adobe is it gradually.

  InDesign is just an entry by creating a form in Acrobat. It's a comfortable and familiar layout for InDesign users. There is a large group of people who know how to create and use Acrobat Forms. No doubt some of the things you want from LiveCycle can be done by adding JavaScript, but it happens in Acrobat Pro, not in InDesign. You should spend some time in the forum of PDF Acrobat forms because you would spend part if your time in InDesign, part of your time in Acrobat Pro:

• InDesign does not not at startup

  Hello

  I'm not a frequent indesign user, but it is very annoying... I'm not able to indesign at the present time.

  As soon as I start indesign, and everything is just loaded it freezes. Tried a reinstall recently. But no luck.

  I use more recent 2015 CC (August) on OSX El Captian.

  Also I tried to install Indesign CC2014 and CS6, but creative cloud just hangs at "waiting" when I click on install.

  Another thing is that my own Mac "CEPHtmlEngine Helper" say freeze. Not sure if that is related...

  In the hope of a VERY fast response...

  Yours,

• Place a PDF in Indesign

  Salvation (cc) Indesign users,.

  What can I do to import all pages of pdf UNITS?

• Get sertified ACE in Indesign:

  Why Don t deliver you materials for the preparation of review for CC? Seems to me that we have CC for quite a long time. I say also candidates, that the "Classroom in a book" books/lessons are a great way to learn Adobe, but I think that they don t go deep enough when it comes to graduate to ACE

  You're not talking about "Adobe" here. This is a user forum. We're InDesign users like you.

  There are a variety of ways to prepare for the exams of the ACE. You should not limit yourself to the classroom in a book, which is a first. Take courses. Read the help files. Search the Internet of video tutorials.

• Make a picture frame as a button link/navigate to InDesign Article

  Hello world

  I have InDesign Folio, with most of the articles created in InDesign.

  An Article's HTML slideshow created in Muse Gallery, I also want to create a picture as a button frame in this gallery (with Muse) to navigate/point to a section of InDesign. Essentially when the HTML gallery becomes an integral part of the InDesign folio. the user must be able to navigate to the home page of the folio.  It's a slide show full page created in Muse, so in InDesign user should be able to see a button to navigate to the home page.

  Thanks in advance.

  So if I get this correct, you want to appear a button that is linked to Indesign article in slideshow page Muse? If only to redirect users to InDesign article then you can use the composition and insert links or buttons inside the container and slide show too you can add captions and link them to documents by using the hyperlink.

  Thank you
