• Some asymmetric rectangular objects print does not in any InDesign CS4 book

  Hi to everyone!

  A book in InDesign CS4 has some objects in Section Geometry.

  OS = 32 bit Vista SP 2

  As rectangular objects which are bit biased do not print as they appear in the overprint Preview in InDesign. I checked all the options as if there was a lock of layer, printing box unchecked, nonprinting value attributes. But no one works.

  Exported pdf file of the InDesign file, the two are uploaded here.

  All traits except rectangular are exported/printed PDF int file.

  Thank you.

  Looks like some sort of corruption with a single form. Re-draw.

• How can I get the smallest pdf from InDesign CS4, but keep some sharpness?

  I have a brochure of 2 pages, front and back with layered photoshop files, and when I do the small pdf, I need to make a file of 100kb as a customer has done in the past. The smallest, I can do the PDF is 460kb.  He'll be no smaller, no matter what I do. Of course I can enter final resolution as 72 dpi, but photos are very blurred. I have even reduced the size of the files of the photos and replaced in the document. The size of the file remains the same.  My client said that reduced Illustrator for him plus size small in the past but I don't think it's the solution.  How can I you keep some sharpness in a pdf file but keep the size of the file to a bare minimum?

  But InDesign CS4 out the file no matter what happens to 460 k for me.

  Still don't know why they got 100 KB.

  By not using not InDesign. Scott is on the right track by mentioning Distiller - what makes PDF files which is smaller than InDesign can export. Illustrator can be used (bad *) in the same way. Both methods can remove stuff that you don't need if you don't care the print quality don't care about reliable display on multiple platforms, don't care exactly how your fonts are included, don't care about the trial that blind people using screen readers will sue you and so on. I don't know what above is not in your customer file 100 k, or that things in my list above will be eliminated out using Distiller or Illustrator, but I bet that one of the people that has already been posted in your thread is known and can be talked about telling us.

  But, if you try to make your customers happy and are not actually personally invested to make the smaller PDF files known to man, and if you are located in the United States, then maybe the phrases "blind screen... readers accessibility... trial" spoken together could encourage your client to rethink this arbitrary will of tiny size of PDF files.

  Alternatively, you can just save postscript on the two PDF files and just watch the .ps files in your favorite plain text viewer.

  * I'm surprised that Adobe employee Dov Isaacs did not come tell us what it is a bad idea.

• Confused as to why I fill out and sign some documents of player and other times I can only sign the documents.  Why is this?

  Confused as to why I fill out and sign some documents of player and other times I can only sign the documents.  Why is this?

  Hi sapconman2812,

  It depends on the documents. If the document is configured to enter data, then you will need to use fill & sign tool to complete the form and sign it.

  If its only out in the signature, then you will get only the option to sign the form.

• InDesign CS4 do not place a word document

  Hello

  I just had to InDesign CS4 installed on my computer at work. The installation went perfectly, and I was able to open InDesign files with no problems at all. But when I tried to put a word document in one of these formats:

  1. 2010 (.doc, .docx, .rtf, .txt)
  2. same formats of 2007

  He gave me the following error message:

  either the file does not exist, you may not, or the file may be in use by another application

  I went into the system to see if all this relates to this specific word file is open - nothing. I made sure there is no open files office.

  If this problem is already solved, please excuse the duplication and if possible I would like to have a link to the thread.

  Thanks for your help.

  In general this error appears when the file is opened. Perhaps the temporary Word file has not deleted properly when closing.

• InDesign CS4 crashes when you place the Word document

  Hello

  I'm having a real problem by placing a Word document in InDesign CS4. It crashes everytime! I found that if I turn off the 'import inline graphics' it correctly places the document. but enabling this option blocks InDesign.

  I tried to save in rich TEXT format and even do a simple copy - paste, but the result is the same: InDesign crashes.

  If you have an idea please let me know!

  Thank you

• Editing documents in InDesign CS4 PageMaker?

  I have a client with some files (PM6.0 and PM6.5) of the PageMaker of legacy files.  He has need of have updated them.

  I don't have a copy of PageMaker.  I think I remember having trouble opening docs PM6.5 in IDCS4 (Mac OSX 10.5.8), but it has been awhile.  If I remember correctly, the process is bombed.  (I also have an old copy of the IDCS2 to PC)

  1. can I open the files MP 6.0 and 6.5 in Indesign CS4 and edit?

  2. If so, how?

  3. any other ideas or suggestions?

  4. If IDCS4 open unreliable MP files, are there utilities that will allow me to open or convert these files so I can edit in IDCS4?

  Thanks for your help,

  Lou Dina

  You should have no problem opening PM 6.5 files in ID. But if you are pregnant of perfection or if the customer need PM files, you're the GROUND.

  In regard to problems, you might remember that he can relate to this:

• MS Word can display these fonts, then why not InDesign CS4?

  I produce an annual brochure and have just opened INDD file year last in InDesign CS4 on my PC under Windows XP, with the intention of using it as a base for the brochure of this year. The document has been created using InDesign CS2 and had no problem font when last used. However, I am now told by InDesign CS4 following three fonts are missing.

  • Arial Narrow
  • Arial Narrow Bold Italic
  • Arial Black

  When I try to search through the dialog box search a font Arial Narrow, it is nowhere to be seen in the list of available fonts. I can find Arial Black list, but it seems only available in italic style, which is not used in my paper. Other applications on my PC, like MS Office, have no problem to find these common fonts in all of the usual styles. They are also listed in the Control Panel/fonts in Windows.

  How can I fix this irritating problem?

  You must read this post and the comments once again, including the need to erase the Adobe font cache files.

• What is the best way to work with Word documents in The InDesign CS4?

  I work in Microsoft Word 2007 and all my documents have.doc format.

  What is the best way to work with Word documents in InDesign CS4?

  David Blatner says to avoid copying and pasting text from Word instead of placing (Ctrl + D).

  How to paste RTF or text Document?

  I want to do a book layout in ID CS4 and its main feature is that there is the left page with the text and the right - with graphics.

  So, if I understand correctly place the text on each page I create for example 70 Word documents and place each element on 70 pages left?

  He loks like wasting time. I have supplements another way to make such provision?  What kind?

  It is best to place any text.

  You can have all your text in a single file and debit allows you to add text, images and pages as necessary block (hold down the SHIFT key when you click the loaded text cursor), but it is somewhat atypical for the thread on one side of the spread in the perspective of automatic flow, so you don't have to set up properly.

  It is a case where a block of text that you type will work to your advantage. On your master page, add a text block to the left page, but not to the right (or at least not donned one to the right - for another project you can actually two threads of independent text). Hold the cursor of the load on a frame on the left side of a page document and auto-flux. ID will add new spreads as needed, but only to put the text on the left side.

• Slow typing letters (InDesign CS4)

  Really frustrated here. I'm writing a guide to the user using InDesign CS4. I created a file of book .indb and added 5 documents where 4 of them are about 2 - 3 MB each. The main document is on about 10 MB, and the number of pages are 63. It is not a very large document, is it? I'm not too eager to share this confidential document, so I try to explain my problem completely...

  When you type in the main document letters penetrates more slowly than the poors syrup. I type, and then I have to wait. It takes up to one second each letter! It doesn't matter if I type since the beginning of the document, or the end of it. Don't not InDesign handles large documents, or is it a matter of content. All the other functions and panels is functioning normally.

  The main document consists of text and screenshots in the .png format and style with Monica and the framework. The text is formatted with a set of rules of paragraph. In addition, I created a group of objects to text Notes, consisting of an icon to the left to the text, then a gray background with frame that surrounds the text of the note. This group has the object, character and paragraph styles attached to it. I can't believe that this slows down the document.

  I have run a few tests. I save the main document separately outside the .indb file and perform several tests to remove stuff in separate operations. After deleting stuff I'm trying to type text to see if typing works always in syrup form. Remove all screenshots in one operation, a table in another separate operation, then the headers, note styles and finally reduce the content. After each withdrawal operation I have test typing from the beginning of the document, same place every time. None of the samples appear to have no effect on the size of the document. However, by reducing the long 63 page document until 45 accelerates typing like a charm. At all, reducing to only 55 pages, however, make no difference. But why should reduce 10 pages of a big 63 page document such great effect? Is the size limit for files InDesign-50 pages? Or what?

  I would be extremely grateful if someone could enlighten me on this subject.

• InDesign CS4 - basic features

  I'm new to Indesign. It's about Indesign CS4 version 6.0.6

  I restarted my computer (Windows 7 Professional, version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601). I started to Indesign. I created a new document using the predefined default settings.

  In these circumstances, I find the following things: in the tools Panel, only the selection tool is available. There is no answer to a click on the icon for any other tool. In the pages Panel, there is no response to a click on the 'Create new page' icon at the bottom of the Panel, but I can add a new page by choosing "Insert Pages," which is the best choice for the menu for this Panel. However, once I have more than one page, I can't select a page by clicking the page icon in this Panel. If I open Windows Notepad, type some text and copy it, then I can ' Edition > paste "use in Indesign to create a block of text. I read a relevant text in the first 5 chapters of the indesign_cs4_help.pdf and can't find any preparatory action I should take in order to use the text on a new document tool. What I'm missing here? Is there a way that I could hire accidentally who survive a reboot?

• InDesign CS4 works every time when you export to PDF

  I have CS4 for several years with absolutely no problem. I create the occasional newsletter - lengths ranging from 3 to 12 pages. I created one in September without problem. Last month, when exporting to PDF, I kept getting a message "Adobe InDesign CS4 has stopped working." and something about Windows 7 looking for a solution (which of course didn't). My only modification in Adobe between when it worked and where he didn't was 1) I upgraded to Adobe PS and LR CC.  (2) I also did an upgrade to Adobe Acrobat (I think she was using now... sort of a core component to acrobat.com saw a message indicating an update was available and did not know he would start using some cloud services).

  -temporarily work around the problem of the last month, I sent my InDesign document (small - page 3) and images to a friend who created the PDF file for me with no problems.

  Now, I'm working on another ballot (which does exactly the same way) so seriously try to correct the problem. I took my search suggestions and forum-based measures:

  -J' uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign

  -I got rid of the implementation level Acrobat and uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat 9 of my suite CS4

  -J' deleted my preferences files so that they would be replaced by the default system (by a suggestion of the forum)

  -J' tried to export a page at a time to see if there is a problem with a specific element on a page - nothing exported successfully, not one page in my 12 page document

  -To meet my deadline of my last newsletter (12 page), I decided to package it for someone else to export to PDF. The package failed with the error message

  -J' read that there are sometimes mistakes with lack of enough temporary storage to create PDF files. The AdobeTemp file is located on a drive with several GB of free space. However, since the package have also failed, I wonder if the problem is in this area.

  Would appreciate any assistance to resolve it. I just don't know what else to try. Thank you

  It isn't a certainty with Windows error reports, but it seems to be of type text/partner, and a secondary-pair or damaged police could be the problem. Fonts free fonts sites are often below standards.

  I'll sign off the coast for today.

• InDesign CS4 repeated crashes

  Hello

  We use InDesign CS4 for several months now and suffer repeated failures.  Our systems support entrepreneurs focused on the network and say that it's a software problem.  Works on 2 PCs, Windows 7 operating system.

  Initaially we thought it was the network latency issues, and certainly the number of accidents decreased since we installed the InDesign files and image on the hard drive of the PC rather than on a network storage device.  However, the application is always prone to crashing.

  Some actions appear to be an accident; but not always.  Application of character styles, applying master pages to existing document pages, spreads of duplication and to move pages in the document are all risky actions.

  The symptom of an accident are sometimes just a gel, without any warning associated with.  This requires a CTRL-ALT-DEL to appear the the windows Task Manager showing InDesign as does not.  Otherwise, you get a warning of InDesign that she met an unexpected problem and that it must stop.

  Now, we work exclusively of our drives hard (I even tried to work with the unplugged network cable to make sure that I'm not inadvertently linked to a resource on a sort of network system), we get fewer accidents; Maybe just 5 or 6 per day.  Until he could be 10-20.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  1. indesign, not updated it should update with patch 6.0.6

  2. find out the path UNC also some that can happen because of the trajectory.

• No set in InDesign CS4 keyboard shortcuts?

  I recently installed InDesign CS4 and there seems to be no pre-installed shortcut? Shortcuts standard such as Ctrl + V to paste, Ctrl + S to save etc don't work do not. How can I load the standard ones, is there something escapes me? Similarly as the removal and the arrows keys do nothing. I had to go and assign a shortcut to delete object/text. The biggest annoyance is when entering, I can't even use the Enter key to get to the next line.  I use CS3 for a few years and never had to do anything to get the standard keyboard shortcuts that are the same across many programs, they were here first and I'm puzzled why they do not work. Any advice?
