InDesign 5.5 slowness when using master pages... Help, please

We use master pages in InDesign.  Our records have anywhere between 100-200 master pages.  We have NEVER had problems working speed in InDesign before (IE just disabling layers takes 3-4 seconds each, etc.).  I noticed when I deleted everything but a few master pages, the performance is as it should be.  Why in 5.5 is a problem now with us?  Yet once again, the way we used InDesign before, was never a problem until now and it makes it almost impossible to work with... Thoughts?  Suggestions?

pwhite2315:

I don't usually do this, but you piqued my interest. I filed Bug #3125326, "10 x Head tilting visibility of layer downturn with several master pages" in your name. I would say that the chances of getting a fix for this problem in CS6 (much less before it) are low at the moment, so set your expectations correctly. I have not explored to see if there is no work around

Notes from Adobe that the bulk of the time is devoted to generate previews of document page, by Preferences > file management > saving InDesign files: always save Images from the overview of the Documents, and disabling of these previews is a viable solution. Obviously this isn't a solution, but assuming that your workflow is compatible with this, it should help.

(You could also the script only to that preference at the time of a file record...)

  • Multiple page printing slow when using narrow pages (LaserJet)

    Hello everyone,

    I am running a printing service and using the printer HP Laserjet Printer 1606dn (I used also other models, such as the Laserjet 1006, Laserjet 1300 and other models).

    I have a problem with the speed when printing on pages that are narrow as A4 (need to my client that I print on the pages of 26.9 x 18.8 cm). I need to print a large number of pages a day, and during the test with the same paper in A4, it prints very fast. But when printing on the page size to custom, the printer get a single page, impression on her (very fast), but then he wait about 15 seconds to get the next page.

    It seems that there are sensors that detect the page is close that that of the A4, and if the printer do not get quick pages.

    I test a lot of software options (like saying that the printer paper is 'standard size' (as Executive), impression in RAW format, and so on), but I ralized it's a problem of size of paper width.

    Can you help me please?

    Thank you

    I found a solution. It has to do with the sensors.

    In the upper part of the printer, where the book comes out, there are 3 sensors, one on the left, one in the middle and one on the right. They are little pieces of plastic that opened or closed from the optical sensors (I think).

    When a page dies, it activates the sensors. When a page is close, active not one (or two) sensors on the sides.

    I tested this way: I put my narrow paper not centered, but on the right. The sensor on the left, I 'activated', by placing a small piece of paper under the sensor (it seems like a paper go there). And... it works!

    PRINT FAST!

    But as BLLuten said, it might overheat the fuser unit.

    So, my question now... is what would happen in case of overheating of the fuser unit? (or, in the printers HP, Fuser will get overheated?)

    I think I'll work with this little hack, but with a fire extinguisher to next to me, as a precaution.

    Master Page Items question: I use master pages for a 60 page document and just found out that some of my master page items are multiplying! There are some boundaries on the pages, and some of them are constantly a quantity apparently without end on top of the other. For example, I replace to change the color of the border and notice a black there's below him so I deleted the extra and there is another and another and another... EEK. I can easily hide them, BUT I fear they will lead to complications in the case of pre-press printing. What is the cause? What can I do to prevent it? How can I get rid of the stack-up?

    It's always haapening, if you substitute any element on the page and later master you reapply the same or another master. I would NEVER say to replace any itme master page in the page. Instead create another master based on the first, make the substitutions and apply this master. Substitutions on the pages should be avoided in all cases, not only for the problem you described above, other issues of accessibility will also come into play.

  • Alternating the sides of footers for chapter use master pages

    Hi, I am creating a pdf with Chapter Book 1 appearing in all the footers on the left page (in Chapter 1) and securities of Chapter 2 in the footers on the right side of all pages (in Chapter 2). So far, I have only one master page, a master of two pages with blocks of text on two pages. After that I did this master, I dropped my text and it autoflowed. I then did a second master page based on A master called B-Chapter 2, with chapter markers on the right side instead of the left. I then applied this master to the relevant pages, and it went well. However, now that I did it, I have more control over text blocks in Chapter 2 by using master pages. What have I done wrong? I would like to have layout as described, but still be able to adjust the size of all blocks of text in all the chapters, using the master page text frames. Is this possible? Basically I want to alternate the secondary section appear on the titles, but retain control of executives text via master pages. Appreciate any thoughts.

    Object styles can not control the dimensions of the image. The good news, however, is that if managers of it line up on the cues you can activate the page layout setting BEFORE you change the page size and the images are resized automatically.

  • Using Master pages with image placeholders

    I created a template that contains the placeholder image and header and body copy text fields... but I can't understand how to use it once I'm inside a page. In InDesign, you can substitute a main object, but I can't seem to understand. Is it still possible?

    Let me know and thanks!

    The content placed in a master page cannot be selected/edited in the master page and not in the related content pages. A Master Page in Muse allows you to apply common elements such as the navigation, logos, headers, and footers to multiple pages in your site. A way around this would be to create an object that overlap in the content page in order to hide the Master object behind overlapping object to using the layers feature.

    Hope this helps, let me know if it's not exactly what you are looking for.

    Thank you

  • Using Master Pages in several sites Muse

    Can I import a master pager of a Muse site in another so I can use it without having to start the layout from scratch?

    And if yes, then how?

    Hello Angela,.

    You can do this by opening the master page from the source site, then use Edit-> all select, copy and then go on the master page in the destination site and use change-> stick it in Place. This will make the master destination the same page as the master source page.

    I hope this helps.

    See you soon

  • Using master page information

    I'm editing a document that has multiple master pages. Some of master pages, I don't even see in the document. How do I select a master page and check out the pages he asked to? I went to delete all pages masters do not use, but none has been removed. I'd like to see where they are used or intended to be used before as I delete one of them.


    Thank you

    Glad I could help. If you absolutely need a list of pages master page applied, you could ask in the forum script.  I bet it's something that could be scripted - the reason why it does not appear as an option is probably because most of the users don't need.

    It appears in the list of forum like this so you can as courtesy to the users of the forum, mark this thread as answered.
