Restarting didn't help me either. I also tried to delete preferences but couldn't find the right one. The issue has been passed on to the Acrobat powers-that-be, and they're looking into it. (See Leonard Rosenthol's response to my blog posting.) ... View more

I am also getting a crash using the Save as Adobe PDF function on one of two MacBook Pros I installed Snow Leopard on. It worked on this computer two days ago, but began crashing consistently today. I posted about the change to Save as Adobe PDF on InDesignSecrets.com this morning, and made reference to this thread, and the crashes: http://indesignsecrets.com/acrobats-adobe-pdf-printer-replaced-in-snow-leopard.php ...

The order in which files in a PDF Portfolio are displayed is set in this way: From the Modify menu at the top of the portfolio, choose Edit Portfolio. In the Edit Portfolio panel on the right, select SPECIFY FILE DETAILS. You can select the sort order of the files from this list: Name, Description, Modified, Size, Compressed Size, or Creation. You could insert a number 01, 02, etc. either before the file name, or in the Description field, which specifies the way you want the files ordered. ... View more

What's wrong with using the Recently Used Glyph feature in the Glyph panel? You can create a keyboard shortcut (Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts) in the Panel menu product area to call out the most recently used glyph, 2nd most recently used glyph, etc. ... View more

That's because X&Y coordinates with movements is not part of Smart Guides. I read your posting a little too fast. I saw "Smart Guides" but missed the last half of the subject line. That feature is turned off in InDesign > Preferences > Interface > Show Transformation Values. It's called that because it also displays rotations as well. ... View more

I don't think you looked very carefully, or bothered to check the Help > InDesign Help. To permanently turn them off, choose InDesign > Preferences > Guides & Pasteboard > Smart Guide Options. Uncheck all the options. To temporarily turn off Smart Guides, toggle View > Grids & Guides > Smart Guides. The keyboard shortcut is even the same as in Illustrator: Cmd-U. ... View more

There's a new InDesign update to 6.01 now available through the Adobe Updater. You should see whether this fixes the problem. ... View more

It's a spurious problem. Distiller shouldn't DISPLAY that .joboption file because it can't use it. The fact that it displays it at all is a bug. It's in the location with the other .joboptions because it can be used in the other Adobe Creative Suite 3 or 4 applications. You could use this out of InDesign CS4, for example. The PDF/X-4 specification includes the ability to PRESERVE TRANSPARENCY and other attibutes that are totally inappropriate for Distiller. Distiller only works with PostScript file which, by definition, flatten transparency. The PDF/X-4 .joboption file would be used to create a file for a PDF workflow like with an Adobe PDF Print Engine RIP. These newer RIPs consume native PDF files to preserve their quality. Flattening transparency only happens in the RIP at print time. ... View more

Olivia, I have observed the same problem with the last row of pages in a multipage PDF (at least on the Mac). I'm pretty sure it's a bug. Hopefully it will be fixed in Acrobat 9.01 (not yet released!) ... View more

There is no command to reverse the order of the pages. It never would have occurred to me that anyone would need this command. Why don't you just rename the files in the order you want them to be in if you have filenames like "img1824" ... View more

I'd agree with Aandi. It sounds like it should only happen the first time you launch the Creative Suite so it can verify that you're activated. (Acrobat can't check activation.) If it's happening every time, there's something wrong. You may have to call Adobe Tech Support. ... View more

In my experience, the Missing CMap error almost always happens when you try to remove all the fonts from the Adobe Creative Suite private font location. In Windows that's: Program Files > Common Files > Adobe > Fonts. There is a Reqd folder which cannot be removed or InDesign (and possibly other CS2 applications) will complain with that error message. ... View more

On the Mac, as an alternative to the ID Glyph Palete for finding Unicode glyphs, you can use the OS X Character Palette: In its Unicode mode, it can show glyphs in numeric order or by code sets. That's worth poking around in. It also has a great feature where you can select the glyph you want, and then see all the fonts on your system which have the glyph! Steve ... View more
