Adobe Indesign Cs3 Mac Free Download
Genciana Haggins
When I try to link (place) an image from OneDrive to Indesign I get the following error message: Adobe indesign is downloading a file from com.microsoft.onedrive. The file wont open until the download completes.
I don't believe OneDrive is a directly accessible file resource. Files have to be downloaded locally (which sometimes is done as a background, temp download, making it seem seamless). I don't think ID can link directly to OneDrive resources.
It works exactly the same as Dropbox. AFAIK, all of the cloud services now have the ability to download on demand. InDesign hates that and will throw the alert (it's not an error) when Cloud-Only is enabled.
So they all simply mirror those folders rather than allowing the files to actually reside on the remote resource. I bet that's giving some users questions about where their local storage space is going.
I just became an adobe member and downloaded and installed InDesign through the creative cloud desktop. When I start the program it opens a dialog screen where he tries to load something in. After 1 to 2 seconds it closes again to then re-open and trying to load again. It keeps doing this in an infinite cycle of opening and closing (see picture).
I've seen such a tedious procedure with some of the installations of Creative Cloud at the university where I do my lecturing. Every time I connect to the server using Remote Desktop and start up whatever installed Adobe app there is, Adobe insists on that double-authentification process and sends me a six-digit number by mail to complete my log-in to e.g. InDesign or PhotoShop.
While the problem was occuring the only way I found make it work at first was to log off from creative cloud, then launch the program where I had to log in and it asked me the full double authentification proces every log in. I used 7 codes just today.
I wouldn't know how it would be with a shared computer situation as you have at your university, but do you first log in to the creative cloud or do you open the programs from the desktop? I think it would make a difference as it seems creative cloud holds everything together.
Problem: I have an existing Indesign document 60+ pages that uses lots and lots of tables. Every quarter this document gets updated to reflect new figures in the tables. This time I have opened after working on it yesterday and the font suddenly acts as if it's missing??
I have since deleted the font and replaced with Futura PT Condensed. BUT now this font acts as missing also. I have deleted all duplicates, it's a font synced from Typekit. I have the most updated version of Indesign (CC), though I did try to backdate Indesign and see if it worked (it didn't). I've also tried saving as an IDML file, on a different computer in the office, an older version of the document which has worked previously and now the font acts as missing. I have restarted my computer... I tried adding the font to the "Font" folder in Indesign folders. NOTHING WORKS.
Sometimes it looks fine that the font is there, and then I go to change the leading and boom, the font goes highlight pink and replaces with some dodgy font I can't even understand and acts as if it's missing again. Then I'll move out of the document and come back and it's miraculously there again, only to disappear again 5 mins later.
I ended up having to rebuild the whole document from scratch using a new font (it only went missing once during the re-layout and only for 5 mins). So this is still an issue for me, but not as urgent anymore. I'd still love to find out why it's happening, obviously haha.
I am having the same issue. I just refomatted my computer and reinstalled Adobe Indesign and it's still happening. I am on Window's 10 home computer. This is happening in ALL my documents but only with certain font's over and over and over again.
This is a huge issue for me- it's happening in all my files - trying Bills fix
Only I can't get tech support on the phone and have a massive 200-page document that's due Tuesday and the HELVETICA REGULAR goes missing of all things. On a Mac, did everything above. Trashed preferences.
Don't worry, Adobe tech support wasn't of much help. Because the font I initially used wasn't an adobe font they said they were unable to help me. So I changed it to an Adobe font and the issue persisted, but couldn't bring myself to sit on hold for another hour!
This might be too simple. My machine crashed (in Photoshop...) and when I re-opened InDesign, I had lost two fonts I was using. I definitely have them. InDesign subbed out the fonts and left no 'search' function avaliable. After a lot of cursing, restarting, trying to reactivate the necessary fonts inside creative cloud (this was key...) and panicking, here's what I did: open the project again, and it will give the same 'missing font' notice: highlight your lost font and it will ask which font you would like to replace it. If you scroll through THAT list, you will find, as I did, the 'missing' font is mysteriously available, just hidden. Click on the 'change font' button, and all is well.Lordy Lordy.
I am having this same issue. Many of my documents are now missing the BOLD of certain fonts. Futura BOLD, Oswald BOLD etc. All of these files were created by me and those fonts were resident on my PC when I created the documents. None of the above fixes work. I have an old version of INDD that typically runs just fine.
Having the same issue here, usually what happens is I will be working away fine. Suddenly I can't save. Comes up with error. Then next time I load file the fonts will be missing. I will try reinstall them (no Font manager at moment so no extra areas of failure) it will say they are already there and I can even use them in other adobe programs. If I flatten/outline text or change them as they don't show up it will then save fine...
Yikes, this just now happened to me, in the final stretch of designing a magazine that heavily uses the "missing" font. It's so random - it's just Millesime Bold. The other three in the family appear fine - unfortunately I'm using Bold more than any other.
Notice that in the above Missing Fonts popup, it says, "Adobe Fonts couldn't find any matching fonts." That's crazy - both the Creative Cloud Desktop and the Adobe Fonts website say all four Millesime fonts exist and are activated. Here is InDesign's Find Fonts dialog overlaid on the Abide Fonts website showing the Millesime family.
I deactivated and reactivated the font a few times, rebooted my Windows 10 PC twice, deleted my InDesign preferences and caches per Bill's suggestion, and a few other things to try to shake it loose, to no avail.
It failed again a day later. Once again, cycling the sign-in status of the Creative Cloud app fixed it, but now I suspect this will be a recurring problem. And why just that particular font? There are several Adobe Fonts in the document I'm working on (including Millesime Regular and Italic, plus about 3-4 other font families), but it's always just Millesime Bold that fails.
there is not direct path that will keep everything that was made on the file. As in all of the styles will be lost. it will give things genetic games in the styles panel, but you will have to rename and check.
the .pdf to indesign solution offered will bring on a lot of redo work since a .pdf does not retain any of the styles. so you will find yourself having to name things again, all of the graphics will be embedded and they will be at the resolution selected per the .pdf settings.
i have used the .pdf to indesign converter mentioned above. i myself found it good for a since page thing. if you have a layout with many pages i went with making the layout myself since there will be a lot fo fix and clean and might as well make a good clean file.
Hi Jonathan, thanks for your feedback. Just to be clear and fair, the PDF2DTP conversion of multi-page PDFs into InDesign can vary from one PDF to another. Meaning, some PDFs, like those professionally created in InDesign or other layout tools, can convert very well. If there are tables with "illegal" or non-standard styling or functions, or custom plugins or the likes, yes, then the conversion can get trickier.
In general though, PDF2DTP has proven to be generally better than starting from scratch. Just check out some of the recent video reviews of PDF2DTP as a starter. And as always, we encourage those who own PDF2DTP to send us in any odd-ball PDFs that they feel should convert better to our Support Line.
Thanks for reaching out. I understand you are trying to open a Publisher file in InDesign. In addition to the suggestions shared above, you can also refer to this similar discussion: Converting Publisher files to InDesign
In short, it can't be done in ID off-the-shelf, but using a plug-in such as Markzware's Affnity to ID converter mentioned by David Dilling in his post. If this is a Microsoft Publisher file, then if you are able to obtain a PDF of the Publisher file, you could then use another of Markzware's plug-ins that is mentioned within this thread, or Recosoft's PDF2ID plug-in.
As mentioned, there is no direct built-in way these days, but there are a few online services that can do that for you. I have used one for a recent file and it was completely effective and cost only $50 for the one conversion. That gave a workable ID file and all the graphics extracted and relinked. If you still need to do what you need to do, shoot me a message and I will let you where i had it done online. (I don't want to seem like I am endorsing any particular company by mentioning them here)
Unless someone pushed MS Publisher to its limits, it's probably faster, and cheaper even in terms of ROI, to just rebuild the document in InDesign. A Word export or the like for any content over a few hundred words as a starting point, and perhaps a day or two's work. It's very unlikely a conversion is going to be press- or release-ready... unless the PUB doc is quite simple, in which case you're back around to it being that much easier to rebuild.
