Strange behavior of palette in InDesign CS3

• Cannot add files to the palette book InDesign CS3

  I put a book in CS3. The book was sent to someone to proofread and someone else to the index.

  Two of them were on CS4. The files are back as INX files.

  I could open the INX files and make changes, changes, etc., and save files in INDD files. Files that came back from the corrective work very well. However, files that are returned from the indexer cannot be added to a book palette. When I try to add files INDD created from files INX of the indexer to a range of book, I get a window that says: File_name.indd uses one or more plug-ins that are not currently available on your system. Cannot add this document to the book.

  A bit of work, I've tried about is to get the indexer to send me files within a range of book INX it creates. I am able to open the palette of this book (and I can add documents,) but I get a window indicating that the InDesign Enabler Plugin me is missing and the book palette features will be disabled until I have install the plug-in.

  Any ideas on how I can fix this?

  Thank you.

  Hmm. have you tried this sequence?

  1. open the INX files on your system - they will play in a new INDD file.

  2 export to INX.

  3. open this new and save as a "final" file

  It seems not only a more modern version to your use of the indexer (and thoughtfully sent you INX, because your CS3 can't open CS4 files), but a Middle Eastern version as well. Export locally to INX and opening again are a way to purge all unused information of a file; in this case, the file obtained probably exported with the notion of "use the ME Plugin", but it's a fair guess that your files do not need that at all.

• I get a strange behavior of the bar tabs and the address bar in Firefox 29,0 for Mac.

  I just installed Firefox 29,0 for Mac.
  I have a strange behavior of the bar tabs and the address bar with this new version.
  Instead of the address bar, I get two rows of symbols. And it is impossible to write anything in the address bar.
  (I add a screenshot, but I can't find a way to do it).

• Strange behavior with the PSD in Photoshop

  I am currently working with a two-page ID CS5.5 document. This is a CMYK document with CMYK images and grayscale.

  Strange behavior is the following: I have a gray levels (tiff) image that is repeated on the page 1 and page 2. This image looks completely different from page 1 to page 2. I have triple checked everything (opactiy, effects, etc.) and then I started to remove items from page 2 one by one.

  As I deleted a psd file all of a sudden all the images in grayscale on page 2 changed his appearance to match page 1. The PSD in question is also in CMYK with a transparent background. What the frack happens?

  I'm more concerned to know if it makes a difference when it goes to print, or if it's just weird screen in InDesign.

  Anyone who has heard of this or know why this happens - would like to hear from you.

  Thank you!

  I think it's simply because of full transparency on the page. Should not affect the production of gray images... but check in Acrobat.

• InDesign CS3 - jumping elements lined up to the left / to the right of the document

  We have a small advertising office. Two people working in Indesign CS3 on two big iMac.

  On a computer - when using the left/right button align in the toolbar items jump to the left or right of the document instead of align with eachother.

  Help, please.

  Gustav & Maria

  Open the Align palette and make sure the option to align attribute is set to. You may need to enlarge the palette.

• Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit 2 is not running Indesign CS3 Server

  Hello

  I develop a plugin and differnet Javascripts that interact with this plugin. I would now like to debug my plugin and this Javascript. I start the debugger of Visual Studio 2005, which makes my Indesign CS3 Server (Debug) using the port 18383. Now I would like to communicate with this server in Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit 2, but this application is not the server running. Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit 2 want to start an Indesign Server, but there is a race.

  I havn't installed the verision of the server on my PC version.

  -Why Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit 2 cannot find the server running?

  -Port?

  -Can I change anything to correct this behavior?

  Thanks for the help.

  Kind regards

  Hans

  I turned to start to InDesign Server without specifying a port.

  Of course, which limits debugging for this single instance (out of 8 on the machine).

  Please repost in the forum of the server if no one has a better answer here.

• Index not not totally fulfilling in InDesign CS3 - Desperate!

  I work in InDesign CS3 and have created a book of 10 files.

  I went through every file and highlighted a number of party and you click New page reference in the Index dialog box.

  The part number then appears in the Index panel with the associated page number but when I click on generate indexes and ticked all the boxes and generate the index entries do not appear in the index is created, even if I can see them in the Index panel.

  It seems to be pages of information that are not.

  Can someone tell me why it does this and what I can do to fix this?

  Now, I've noticed that I'm going through the index and type in the information that the page numbers are wrong.

  I have the Index panel is open and check if each entry appears in the Index that appears in the control panel and there are missing entries in my Index and it seems not that some entries of a page are in, while others aren't.  Very strange

• Using InDesign CS3, cannot "file > place" to insert anything

  I use InDesign CS3 on a Windows XP computer. When I go to file > place to insert anything (image, PDF, text, whatever), the dialog box import a VERY QUICK flashing (if fast I see nothing but the shape of the box) and crashes then InDesign. Also having the same problem with file > open. All the other options under the file menu seem to work well.

  I tried scrapping the preferences file, but that did not help. I have a 15 page PDF that I need to get into InDesign immediately and do not understand anything.

  Help!

  Thank you.

  Veronica Scrimshaw

  Paste is NOT a good option for anything other than the simple vector art you would like to keep editable within the code.

  Just because you've seen the average flash dialog box doen't it did not move off the screen or behind something else. Try to hit the ESC key and see if ID wake. Which would indicate that the dialogue was still active and accepted the command "Cancel". If it works, the problem becomes how to find dialog box.

  When the dialog box disappears try pressing Alt + space, then M, bar which should activate the arrow keys to move a dilog which is at the edge of the screen. Press the arrow keys 20 or 30 times in one direction and then twice more that the other way to see if you can find the dialog box disable one edge or the other of the screen - it is just try it and see approach. Opeing a dialog box in Photoshop and resize, he was also known to cure this kind of behavior from time to time.

  And if you have multiple monitors, try to run at native resolution, if they are flat screens.

• missing fonts in Indesign CS3

  I have a weird problem with missing fonts in InDesign CS3 and Photoshop CS3 under Windows 7 64-bit. PostScript fonts are not on their menu, but are listed as being installed in the menu \windows\fonts. Fonts are also available in Microsoft products and in Framemaker. The strange thing is that the old saved files that use PS fonts have always listed fonts (but not other fonts PS). If I open a file inherited with the particular font to PS, I can create a new InDesign file that will have this font available. If the legacy file is not open, the new file will not police as an option. I know that the CS3 products are pre-Win 7 64 bit, but Framemaker, for all its ancient code, works like a charm.

  By fonts PostScript , we assume you mean fonts Type 1.

  There was a problem in CS3 as you describe. The problem is solved with the CS4.

  The solution is to copy the Type 1 fonts (both the.) PFB and. PFM for each font file) in the InDesign and Creative Suite-specific fonts directory. They will be seen by the CS3 applications.

• Import and run several text documents in InDesign CS3

  I have several files to plain text, where each runs several pages long I want to import into a single document in ID CS3. I want to import them and to make them sink in a framework unique block of text one after the other on several pages. With a single text of several doc page all what I have to do is select the place and hold down the SHIFT key and InDesign adds the necessary pages and run the copy until the end of the doc. However, if I move select the docs and import to try in a text frame by holding down the SHIFT key, it will just flow the first doc in the group without any indication of overset text. I tried to place several docs of text, hold down the shift and command and brings all my docs on the first page, but in the text boxes separated with text in excess for each doc. Is it possible to do this in InDesign or maybe a plugin that can do this?

  Thank you

  I tried to find it. It was published on 21-04-08 by Peter Kahrel (I can tell because I see on my side of the discussion in my "sent" folder) in response to a post I did called "multiple files". Maybe I'm not the research archives forum correctly, or maybe it was during the time of last year when Adobe was trying (and failing) for updating the forums. In any case, I know at this time as Peter post this for public consumption, so I don't think he's going to mind if I post again:

  Copy and paste everything between the lines of hyphen (excluding dash lines) in a text editor and save it with the extension .js and put it in your scripts folder. Should be something like:

  D:\Program Files\Adobe\InDesign CS3\Adobe InDesign CS3\Scripts\Scripts Panel

  After the alphabetical order of your files and put them in their own folder, copy the path and run the script. It will make a new folder and place all of your files in a continuous narrative. I don't know how it will work with .txt files.

• Firefox crashes (and other strange behaviors) due to gifs

  From a recent update Firefox displayed a strange behavior that surrounds the gifs. Sometimes, after viewing pages with a large number of gifs or several very large gifs, Firefox will do things like not animate gifs, or even do not load the images at all, an and will not stop until I have restart Firefox. What's more concerning is that sometimes in these situations, Firefox will simply hang and stop responding, forcing me to kill the process.
  This page shows the behavior of hanging fairly regularly: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1021843 & page = 21
  It seems more likely to happen when I scroll the page quickly. The behavior persists when I restart Firefox mode without failure.

  39 of Firefox seems to have solved the problem.

• Strange behavior USB Flash Drive Satellite A100-626

  Hello

  I did install Windows Vista Business Edition on my Satellite A100-626 (PSAA9) following the instructions provided in the Web page of drivers.

  So far, everything works as expected, except for one little (or no) question.

  When I ask Vista to 'Remove hardware safely' my USB Flash drive, a Popup appears telling me to remove it. So far, so good :D

  The only thing is that the flash player is not put out as could be expected and and yellow question mark appears in Device Manager.

  Opening of the question mark can read what follows:

  "Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been developed to remove safely, but it has not been removed from the computer. (Code 47) To resolve this issue, disconnect the device from your computer and plug it in again. »

  Following the instructions above, the light turns off, lol...

  Someone else met this strange behavior? If so, any solution?

  I tried a few USB flashes that run well on XP and they both do the same thing.

  Thank you, Nuno!

  Hi Nuno

  It's very strange. I have the Satellite A100-504 (comes with Windows XP Home edition). Last week, I installed Vista and all the stuff followed Toshiba document instructions facilities. I use the mouse wireless, external HDD USB web cam. With the help of these external devices together I never noticed a similar behavior.

  You have the same situation with all the USB ports?

• redeclenchables strange behavior digital output

  I created a redeclenchables digital dashboard task (finished) digital output as follows: (in DAQmx C)

  DAQmxCreateTask("",&_taskHandle);
  DAQmxCreateDOChan(_taskHandle,"/Dev2/port0/line6","",DAQmx_Val_ChanPerLine);
  DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming (_taskHandle, "" / Dev2/Ctr0InternalOutput ", _clockRate, DAQmx_Val_Rising, DAQmx_Val_FiniteSamps, static_cast (_sampleCount)");
  DAQmxCfgOutputBuffer (_taskHandle, static_cast (_sampleCount));
  DAQmxCfgDigEdgeStartTrig (_taskHandle, "/ Dev2/PFI4", DAQmx_Val_Rising ");
  DAQmxSetStartTrigRetriggerable (_taskHandle, true);
  DAQmxWriteDigitalLines (_taskHandle, static_cast(_sampleCount), FALSE,-1, DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel, _pDigital, NULL, NULL);
  DAQmxStartTask (_taskHandle);

  sample clock:

  DAQmxCreateTask ("", & _taskHandleCO);
  DAQmxCreateCOPulseChanFreq (_taskHandleCO, "/ Dev2/ctr0","", DAQmx_Val_Hz, DAQmx_Val_Low, 0,0, _clockRate, 0.5 "");
  DAQmxCfgImplicitTiming (_taskHandleCO, DAQmx_Val_ContSamps, _numSamples);
  DAQmxStartTask (_taskHandleCO);

  When I run the task without redeclenchables parameter, it output a correct signal. However, if I run with redeclenchables it out almost exactly 2 times faster than normal. For example, a pulse whose width of 10 ms became 5 ms and repeats again to be 2 pulses of 5 ms. This is repeatable, no matter how much or how fast triggers provided.

  My card is PCIe-6363. I do not know what causes this strange behavior, and I hope someone can help on this.

  Thank you.

  It disappears after reset configuration. Might be interesting for future reviews.

• Strange behavior with the function «Help in command line»

  So I do a little playing with the opening of the files compiled help (.chm) with the command-line help feature, and I saw a strange behavior when trying to index multi-level access keywords. According to the documentation, if you set the 'Key' operation, you can enter a value for ' string to search for "to access this section. The more precise help that:

  If this string contains a keyword index, the string must match the key of the index as it appears in the help index file. To access a topic with a multilevel index keyword, enter the keyword of the top-level index, a colon and the keyword of the second level index. Do not separate the elements with spaces. For example, a chain of error codes: GPIB jumps about a subject with a keyword of top-level index of error codes and a second level keyword index of GPIB.

  All right, seems simple enough. Except that when I tried, I couldn't work, even with the example provided. I tried the following simple test:

  

  Opens the help file, but it opens to this page, not to the page ' error codes: GPIB "non-descript. I saw this in 8.2 and 8.6. Anyone have any success with access to a multi-level keyword?

  Note - side

  Curiously, the Index for the help lvconcepts.chm file looks like this:

  

  In other words, the input index text is just "GPIB", but the text that appears in the keyword field is "codes error, GPIB. I'm curious to know how this was accomplished. I decompiled the lvconcepts.chm file and watched the .hhk file, and it is not immediately obvious to me. (By the way, if you try to use "error codes, GPIB" it does not either).

  Hello

  Please contact National Instruments!
  It is a very strange behavior.  I tested out and seen the exact
  same results you are experiencing.  This was reported to R & D (AUTO ID # 130246) for further investigations.
  From what I can tell the a possible workaround solution that we have documented
  in the post of root Canal.  I can't continue to look into this in order
  to see if there is no other workaround solution or a reason why it is
  run in this way.  Thanks much for the feedback!  If
  you have any other questions on this subject please post them here.
  Have a great day!
