InDesign CS5 broken
I don't know how I broke my InDesign CS5, but it is really lame.
Symptom: Tools in the toolbar options in the options bar or are unaware of mouse clicks to select, but sometimes I can use menu items to do the same.
I can click and select some tools but not others, some times and not others, and it's different every time. It's as if most of the interface is insensitive to the clicks of the mouse, and my mouse works perfectly in other applications, including Photoshop, Bridge, etc. Tools that will not select a mouse click can respond to keyboard shortcuts.
Here's how I tried to remedy this situation:
I tried several files to make sure that the file corruption was not the problem. Happening no matter what file open.
I started to InDesign by pressing CTRL + ALT + SHIFT to reset the preferences, but this did not help.
Is there another initialization file I could reset or remove? I remember that I was wobbly behavior in Lightroom, which was resolved when I was advised to delete some files... y at - it something similar to InDesign?
I would be willing, but reluctant to reinstall, because my installation files to install the entire suite CS5 and I'm afraid it would eliminate all my Photoshop preferences, resources, modules, etc., does anyone know how to reinstall ID CS5 without having to reinstall the whole enchilada?
I would appreciate it so any advice what is ' y'all may have for me.
Thank you very much
Ellen
Mi9ght is as follows: panels and InDesign tools answer not to the clicks of the mouse (Windows 7/Vista)

A customer told me we can open and edit PDFs inside InDesign CS5.5
Hello
I have a problem with a customer, she told me that she can edit PDFs with InDesign CS5.5 so far.
I check on his computer, and now she had a mistake (in french): pdf file is not supported a module is maybe missing.
On the web, I realized you can import pdf files, but you cannot edit them with InDesign unless you use PDF2ID a sales module.
If she's telling me the truth? Edit is possible and his InDesign is broken, or you cannot change PDFs inside InDesign?
Thank you for your help.
You can place a PDF file in an InDesign document, but you cannot modify it. You can make small amounts of editing PDF documents in Acrobat Pro.
I wonder if your client is thought to an Acrobat form, where users can add data to text boxes and so on.
Just a thought.

Fusion complicated in InDesign CS5
Hi people,
Is it possible to create a mail merge with conditional statements? I have a number table that has a the names of about 115 people I want to send a wedding invitation to. Each line has a unique name and that persons mailing address, but there may be several guests at the same address. Accordingly, I wish to:
(a) send an invitation by address
(b) include a reply card with the names of all guests to this address with an option to accept or refuse
For example, the table might look as follows:
First name 1
The name 1
E-mail 1
Address 1
Unit 1
City
State, country
Zip code 1
First name 2
The name 2
E-mail 2
Address 2
Unit 2
City
State, country
Postal code 2
First name 3
Name 3
E-mail 3
Address 2
Unit 2
City
State, country
Postal code 2
First name 4
The name 4
E-mail 4
Address 2
Unit 2
City
State, country
Postal code 2
So I would like an invitation to go to address 1 with a response card that can look like the following:
1 name 1 - attend _ - will not attend _
While the invitation to go to address 2 would have a reply card that might look like:
Last name first name 2 2 - attend _ - will not attend _
Last name first name 3 3 - attend _ - will not attend _
Last name first name 4 4 - attend _ - will not attend _
Does anyone know if this is possible in InDesign CS5? If this isn't the case, any suggestions howI can Edifier in another package? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Glen
Thank you
I took my numbers spreadsheet and broken into 3 tables, based on the number of inviteesm (1, 2 or 3) to every household. Thus, for example, I created a table named "three" and each record's home address and the names of the guests at this address. Then I created different response cards in Pages (I'm too new to InDesign), one for invited only addresses, one for double invited addresses for triple guest addresses and I will exercise a fusion of data on each with the appropriate tables.

InDesign CS5 will work with MacOS Sierra?
Has anyone tried to see if InDesign CS5 will work with MacOS Sierra? I have creative cloud and CS5 on my machine, but due to some of the things that I have to work that only work with CS5 to CS6 I have to keep my old software. I hesitate to upgrade to Sierra until I know if InDesign CS5 will work or not.
If anyone has tested this, I would be recognizing the return flow, thank you.
It really depends what you do with it, and a large part of the framework has changes in the operating system for how the application is designed to run in. Your workflow can cause problems when the application works for others or you might be able to use it, but keep in mind has more no support for CS5 Adobe or Apple, so do not expect to solve any problems that you can discover.

Hi guys,.
I have a problem with my Indesign CS5 update (to open recent files after reinstalling), it keeps giving me an error of update in the application manager.
Now I found a solution posted by someone that I could update the application manager by going here, but during the process of installation/update it tells me that even this fails!
He then directs me to Adobe Support Advisor, which is abandoned.
This quite frustrating to say the least, I need to have the latest version in order to use my files before reinstalling my system, I created.
Is it possible that I could download perhaps manually CS5 updates?
Or another way of doing things to day?
Any help appreciated

The inDesign CS5.5 after installation of Creative suite cloud?
Is it possible to download a version of InDesign CS5.5 after installation of Creative suite cloud? A particular customer only uses CS5.5 and I want the exchange of files to be transparent and not save in idml.
Hi Georged53990999,
If you have a valid serial number for InDesign CS5.5, you can install it, please make sure that you check the minimum system requirements for CS5.5: system requirements for Adobe InDesign for Mac OS and Windows, as it is an earlier application and has not been tested on the latest hardware.
Please let us know if you need help with this.
Thank you.

CS6 and previous programs have not been tested and will not be updated to run on Mac El Capitan
-which means you are trying to use CS6 and earlier at YOUR risk of having problems
-You can get CS6 and previous programs to install and run, or you can not (some do, some don't)
-Java https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/dreamweaver-java-se-6-runtime.html can help

Adobe Indesign CS5 - Installationsproblem
Hallo!
ICH habe das Buch in the classroom in a book Adobe Indesign CS5 so as. Es ist eine Testversion program fur 30 Tage mit dabei. Works leider nicht Installation, die pesimos Fehlermeldung
Support Advisor kann man nicht download, there're nicht mehr...
Hi Edithk8481466,
'Download Support Advisor' is a generic error, and we need to understand what is causing the problem. Most of the time, its a problem with the download was not successful or downloaded correctly. So, in this case, re-download the software and do not forget to compare the file size of the file downloaded with the file on the server. Download Adobe Creative Suite 5 products
Allows you to check in this case as well and make sure that the download is complete, if the size of the file is correct, to the install.log file.
Navigate in the log files in one of the following folder:
Mac OS: / Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers /.
C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe\Installers\
The name of the log file includes the name of the product and installation date, followed of ".". log.gz."the .gz extension indicates a compressed format.
You can use any tool to unzip to extract the 7z or gz file:
Once unzipped, the log file is a text file, open the .log using TextEdit (Mac OS) and notebook (OS Win)
Scroll to the bottom of the log. Look in the section - summary - for lines that begin with ERROR or FATAL and signals a failure during the installation process.
Copy and paste this section SUMMARIZED here so that we can check for errors.
Alternatively, you can analyze the logs yourself. http://helpx.Adobe.com/Creative-Suite/KB/troubleshoot-install-logs-CS5-CS5.html
Please write to us if it helps.
