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.

Try to export to inx. There may be a corruption in your file

causing the slowdown.

  • InDesign CS4 slow. Spinning beachball headaches

    Can someone help me solve this problem? InDesign CS4 document with a few pages and about 24 images on a page. With CMYK images imported the rendering and re-tearing is very slow. The process shows 99% of use of InDesign. Makes it almost impossible to work on a document.

    Any ideas to fix this?

    EPS files are not required for cmyk printing, try to use the psd files, which is recommended in any case for a number of reasons, see the comments of Peter Spier here.

    Indeed, with the right settings, you can use a huge amount of files to png and jpeg RGB as well and as long as they're high enough resolution very good results.

  • InDesign CS4 ExtendScript cannot report fn.exists State?

    Hi all -

    I am running Windows XP and Indesign CS4 (6.06), and I can't get ExtendScript to tell me that a file exists. It seems to be because the XML of the placed files has a different URI to ExtendScript wants to see. Here's the XML to a file:

    image01.png

    Here's a not very attractive code:

    var fn = new File('file:///Documents%20and%20Settings/Admin/My%20Documents/SAP-2_2_1-ISSUED%20TO%20CHARLES/Links/Signs/A1104.pdf');
    $.writeln('file:///Documents%20and%20Settings/Admin/My%20Documents/SAP-2_2_1-ISSUED%20TO%20CHARLES/Links/Signs/A1104.pdf');
    $.writeln('exists: ' + fn.exists);
    
    var pictureElement = app.activeDocument.xmlElements[0].xmlElements[4].xmlElements[0].xmlElements[6].xmlElements[0].xmlElements[0];
    fn = new File(pictureElement.xmlAttributes[0].value);
    $.writeln(pictureElement.xmlAttributes[0].value);
    $.writeln('exists: ' + fn.exists);
    
    

    And here is the result of the execution of the code:

    image02.png

    It seems that ExtendScript reports true for fn.exists if the URL begins with "file:///Documents...". «, but false reports if the file name begins with «file:///C:/Documents...» "that is (unfortunately) results that InDesign wants to be placed in the href XML photo.

    As a side note, none of this seems a problem with CS5 OSX.

    I know I couldn't have given people enough information here, but it rings a Bell with anyone? What is going on?

    Best and thanks, Charles

    As tomaxxi involved and I think that you said yourself, the file:// URL syntax on letters pilot BACK is not universally defined with ExtendScript and XML InDesign apparently are doing differently. I think you're much better to simply give the path of the platform to the File() constructor.

    By the way: method of Marijan that feels familiar to me (ha ha ha!) ignores files that might actually have file:/// in their filenames somewhere I hope that's not possible.

  • Upgrade memory PC 2 GB to 4 GB - problem with Indesign CS4

    I use Indesign CS4 on a PC (XP Professional SP3) that has 2 GB of memory. InDesign would go, but it has been slow, so upgraded to 4 GB. InDesign is running, but when we try to cut the text on one application and paste it into the document Indsign, he hesitates for a second or two before finishing the task.

    Is there some settings in Indesign to be considered in the upgrade memory? Any help or thoughts on this would be appreciated.

    I don't think that the problem is caused by InDesign.

  • Slow typing in mail

    Hi all

    I had the problem of slow typing in Mail, on Yosemite (10.10.5)

    I tried some published suggestions (spelling etc. deselection, moving com.apple.mail folder) without success. I use iCloud drive.

    However, I noticed that the problem seems to occur when there is an address listed in the to: field. If I type an e-mail without the address, it seems to work correctly.

    Considering that it is of a workaround of sorts, he suggested to anyone that the problem may be caused by?

    Thank you in anticipation

  • Satellite 4080 - keys keyboard not typing letters, but orders!

    I spilt a drink on my 7 year specifications, and today the G, H and other keys give me help commands, spell check etc instead of just typing letters! Someone has already encountered this problem and find out what can be done to solve? I was wondering whether to uninstall the driver and then reinstall? Any help is very appreciated.

    Don t think that reinstalling the driver will solve this problem.
    Is that the operating system uses Microsoft windows to address own pilots.

    I recommend the removal of the keyboard to the device and try to check the keyboard cable connection. Try to clean the connectors.
    But be careful. If you have no experience in these procedures, you must contact technicians!

  • 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 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.

    gradient1.jpggradient2.jpg

    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. =)

  • InDesign CS4 Installer cannot validate my serial number upgrade CS design premium

    Hello, I need to use an older version of InDesign to work with one of my clients. I have the physical box of CS4, but I can't use this installer because it is on DVD and I just got a new iMac without a hard drive. So I downloaded of Abobe, InDesign CS4 Setup, but when I try to validate my code it does not work. My physical box of CS4 is a Design Premium UPGRADE version, but the InDesign Installer is not validate my old number CS3 either. I tried phone support, no use: no support for these former products supplied (shame). Since I regularly bought all my CS versions from a dealer here in Italy it's extremely embarrassing, and I lose a precious time for this instead of working on a project. Can anyone here help with this please? Thank you.

    The product you are trying to install/activate must be the same product for which the serial number has been assigned originally.  If the serial number is a suite then you must install using the suite.  Each product can be installed outside the suite.
