• Import of PageMaker 7.0 to InDesign CS4 Styles

  I'm trying to switch to use PageMaker 7.0 for InDesign CS4 and so far everything is going pretty well, but I was curious to know if there is anyway that I can import all my PageMaker paragraph styles in InDesign. It would be great if I can, because I really don't want to have to recreate them.

  
  Any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you!

  Mike!

  Take a PM file that contains them all, then open it in InDesign.

  Save as INDD and then use it to load the styles you want.

  But... I will warn you that ID much better master typography so I would certainly dive and refine these styles. And don't forget dialing, nested styles, grep styles and styles of line and live ammunition.

• 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.

• transition from PageMaker in InDesign CS4

  This weekend I will be improved in PageMaker 7.0 to InDesign CS4. I use PageMaker (and upgrades) since 1986. To how hard or different can I expect InDesign to be? Any suggestions on learning AIDS (books, online videos, etc.) that can make the transition easier? Brochures, flyers, ads, etc., most of my jobs are.

  PageMaker will be deleted from my hard drive. My files PageMaker will open with InDesign CS4?

  InDesign can open files: 6, 6.5 and 7, but he won't do it flawlessly.

  Download a copy of InDesign CS4 Visual Sandee Cohen of Quick Start Guide and a subscription to Lynda.com. This forum is also a great place to visit.

  You make the right choice.

• [VB] Opening of PageMaker layouts with InDesign Server

  I have many layouts of PageMaker 7.0 I need to open a script running on InDesign CS4 Server.  These layouts open correctly using InDesign CS4 Desktop.  InDesign converts on the layout but they do not open properly.  Anyone know how to open these layouts from a script?

  When I try to open these layouts, using the Application.Open method, I get the following error:

  Cannot open the file 'test.pmd '.  Adobe InDesign does not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing.

  Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Sheldon

  Hi Sheldon,

  With CS4, InDesign Server supports more PageMaker to open the files. This info is included in the Release Notes. InDesign CS4 will be still open them to you could pursue a solution here.

• Question about Acrobat with InDesign CS4

  I'm about to spend PageMaker7 to InDesign CS4. InDesign CS4 has the same capabilities to create a PDF file from an InDesign file? I guess I asking that you get the Acrobat with InDesign software as you did with PageMaker? I think it was Acrobat version 5 which came with PageMaker? DRM for your help.

  PM has not the ability to create PDFs without Distiller. InDesign has a native ability to create very advanced PDF files much more easily and more reliably than Pagemaker ever could.

  As already reported off Acrobat is bundled with InDesign only as part of a suite and the PM not bundled with Acrobat, it comes only with Distiller.

• InDesign CS4 is not available by default programs dialog box

  I am running w/Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista on a Dell computer. The computer had versions of Adobe InDesign CS3 and CS4 installed. I uninstalled CS3, but now, when I double click on any file *.indd Windows application which program use to open the file. InDesign CS4 (and many other installed programs) do not appear in the default programs dialog box. I find using the Browse button, but when I select, and then click 'Open' computer still does not appear in the dialog box window. How can I get Windows to see all programs, so that I can associate extensions with appropriate applications? I can open the files in InDesign CS4, but not by double-clicking on the file. Right now, all my obtained .indd files associated with DreamWeaver CS3.

  Hello Heather M DaVinci.

  Click the number of the KB article to bring up a Microsoft article on the configuration of the default associations. There is an automatic for FIXIT
  Windows Vista.
  Article KB 950505: when you run an .exe file on a Windows Vista or Windows 7-based computer, the file may start another program

  If this does not help, I post in the Community Forums of Adobe for InDesign CS4.

• InDesign CS4 and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro installation

  We bought Adobe Indesign CS4 in 2010 and have used without a problem. But we now need download Acrobat 9 Pro. I can't locate where this file is located on the CD. There is a second DVD, but it is titled Learning Adobe Creative Suite 4. How can I download Acrobat Pro. We wouldn't use it much and cannot justify obtaining the latest version to $16 per month.

  Thank you

  Install and enter your serial number for Acrobat 9. It is usually a different number for the serial number now.

• 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?

  See the signs and tools InDesign respond not to the clicks of the mouse (Windows 7/Vista)

• InDesign CS4 purchase option - no. CLOUD!

  I would like to know why Adobe decided that the cloud is the way forward?

  I have CS4 Web Premium. It works very well for me and I need to upgrade. However, I want to buy InDesign CS4 to go with my now, BUT that is not feasible. Now, they want you to pay a monthly fee... which I have NO confidence Cloud products. I want tangible objects in my hand and not have to pay monthly service fees. What a bunch of crap!

  If anyone knows where I can buy a new InDesign CS4 with SN program, let me know. Or, if there is an alternative program that won't lock you in monthly subscription fees, let me know.

  Thank you!

  CS4 is no longer sold, you can buy CS6

  Link to buy the CS6 via phone http://www.adobe.com/products/cs6.html read all the way down

  From what I read in a forum message, newer than 10.7 Mac must subscribe in the cloud instead of buy CS6... and someone with Win10 must also subscribe to the cloud for CS6 is not compatible (meaning that the seller will ask you your operating system and not sell you CS6 if she does not work on your computer... I don't know if this means that Win7 and you can't buy if you have Win8)

  Please report back with your operating system if you are able to buy CS6

• 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.

• Gradient of disappearing from InDesign CS4 when you export to PDF

  My first question ever on this forum, so I'll try to follow the proper protocol.

  I use Indesign CS4 in a windows environment.  Have a simple file I am trying to export to PDF and have done so many times before without problem.

  But now I get the gradient of the image itself endangered since the exported PDF file.  I don't know what settings I would have changed to cause the problem and it never arose before.  Here's what I see in ID prior to shipping and the result exported.  Using the base for a 1.8 PDF export settings.  Original image is in CMYK mode and has a blue rectangle CMYK sitting on the bottom with a gradient of 90 degrees from the top base.

  

  The strange part is that the original image has no gradient or a feather in it, just a solid color image.  So it exports the gradient of the blue rectangle to create a fade, there simply is not blue.

  So confused.

  Peter, thanks for the suggestions, while they do not resolve the problem, it leads me to THE problem.

  Export, it was never actually produce a problem with gradients or anything else besides.  The problem was inside MY acrobat.  I have on a previous project, has enabled the internal option to replace the colors in the document with the contrast color highand didn't realize that I didn't stop him.

  AY dios mio.

  Thanks to all that you guys, stellar community!  You are in the State of Washington to the Southwest, swing, Starbucks is on me. =)
