Hi,

Where do PDF Preset files or joboptions files need to be stored for InDesign CS3 Server to "see" them. Would InDesign Server need to be restarted to pick up changes to the Presets?

Thanks

Hi there,

this question seems to be a bit off topic, but I'll post it anway.

Currently I'm investigating a performance problem we have while rendering some files and how to solve this.

Well there are big images linked into the file and tons of objects are copied into the document.

All in all this takes about 50 seconds to render / process the whole document.

Well, I think some operations we do lead to this long running job, but this I'll check at a later point.

Now I want to check how we could improve the performance via hardware / setup.

Do you know if this is documented anywhere or do you have experience with it?

We use IDS under Windows.

Does IDS use GPUs or can benefit of it?

Am I right that one IDS instance can only use one CPU core at a time?

Does IDS manage multiple instances itself and use the next free core for the next instance?

...and a lot of other quesitons I forgot.

Cheers

Patrick

Hello All,

Happy New Year to all.

I have a plugin under InDesign CS4 Server which had an event exposed with some parameter. Now I am trying to port the plugin into InDesign CS5 server. I have changed under .FR "Event" to "Method" and all the relevant changes required for calling the Method.

When under Javascript I call my plugin method

for e.g. app.mymethod(documentname);

It shows an error under the script "app.mymethod is not a function".

Does any one have an idea what I might have missed while porting the plugin. Or under CS5 is there a different way to call the plugin method from Script.

Please do let me know its urgent.

Thank you all in advance.

Regards

Farzana.

Hi There

Have anyone tried to use applescript with a CC 2014 (10) server  ???? almost nothing works for me...

I can create a document and save it, but can't open the same document....

Just a simple script...

tell application "InDesignserver"

set MyDok to make new document

save MyDok to "Mac HD:file.indd"

end tell

then...

tell application "InDesignserver"

Open "Mac Hd:file.indd"

end tell

i get : The document "file.indd" could not be opened. InDesignserver cannot open files of this type

very strange because the file was created by the same server ???

Hi,

I cannot start our InDesign Server CC 2014 (Windows Server 2008). I have installed the software and was logged with our Adobe ID and installation was successful without any error message. The installation manual states that “InDesign CC Server needs to be activated before it can be used. If the computer is online, activation is done automatically when you install.” However, I got an error message when I tried to launch InDesign Server: “Adobe InDesign Server is not properly licensed and will now quit”.

Since  I had previously installed InDesign Server CS6 on another machine, I tried to use the APTEE to start the trial. I used the CS6 one because I did not find any version for CC 2014, I finally got the message:

StartTrial Successful

Return Code = 0

but when I tried to launch again InDesign Server, I always get the Adobe InDesign Server is not properly licensed and will now quit message.

I also read this thread but did not find the solution Indesign Server CC Trial issues

Thanks for help!

Hi,

I have an InDesign Server with 8 ports running in one Windows Server. Currently, I have assigned 4 ports for UK client, and 4 ports for US client. Now, I need to configure both UK and US dictionaries in the same InDesign Server however 4 UK ports needs to use UK Dictionary, and 4 US ports needs to use US Dictionary.

Please advise how to achieve this.

We have two offices that use Adobe InDesign. The central server is located in location A. Location B uses the mapped drives from location A in order to do there work inside of InDesign. The connection between the two offices are VPN tunnels over the WAN. The users in location B are constantly complaining about speeds inside of Abode InDesign and what we are needing to find is if Adobe InDesign Server is like Revit server in the way that it will act as an accelerator/host relationship between the two locations or if we are barking up the wrong tree. And if I am correct in my assumption that InDesign does act in a manor of Host/Accelerator then what your that infrastructure look like?

I am really struggling to start InDesign server on my Windows 8 machine. I did following steps after spending lot of time:

1) Download trial server

2) Installed it on my machine

3) Download APTEE and run it

4) run command - adobe_prtk --tool=startTrial --leid=InDesignServer-CC-Win-GM

But still no joy! Can anyone help me on this

I am using InDesign server on windows. And developing application using Microsoft .Net web platform (ASP.NET).

I am generating Indd file using ImportXML() method provided by InDesign. I am getting following error randomly (sometimes more often):

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x0000FFFF): Exception from HRESULT: 0x0000FFFF

   at System.RuntimeType.ForwardCallToInvokeMember(String memberName, BindingFlags flags, Object target, Int32[] aWrapperTypes, MessageData& msgData)

   at InDesignServer.Document.ImportXML(String From)

There is no more information provided by InDesign about where it fails so am blocked there. However I believe that is not code issue but of server.

Can anyone help here. Thanks.

I am looking for a way to package files using InDesign Server (CC2014, running on a Windows 2012 server). I guess that it should be possible by scripting but I it is far away from my skills.

Thanks!

I'm currently working on automating document generation using InDesign Server.  We've set some preferences in the regular InDeisgn while creating the template regarding how pages are inserted when text overflows the current page.  How can I carry over this preference setting from the client version of InDesign to the InDesign Server settings?   As it stands now, the document looks correct when viewed on the client with the preferences set, but incorrect when the document is generated on the Server itself.

Is there a resource where InDesign Server and Scene7 features/capabilities would be compared? Or are those even comparable?

Hi all,

(I previously posted this in the InDesign forum)

When I try to start InDesign CC Server 2015 as root via sudo, it fails to start with the following error message in the console:

The application with bundle ID com.adobe.InDesignServer is running setugid(), which is not allowed.

I tried using "InDesignServer.command" instead and with one or two parameters ("-port 8090", "-previews") without any success.

It works fine if I'm starting it as the logged in user (named admin) or if I log in as root and then start it.

The reason for me wanting it to be started as root via sudo is that we have encountered file permission problems in the past (users giving wrong permissions to documents that later shall be processed by the server). And you do not normally want to be logged in as root.

We have a lot of workflows with InDesign Server CS6 running as root. The users where able to set permissions in many different ways and when the workflows where designed the only way we found at the time to get rid of all problems where to run the InDesign server CS6 as root.

I'm running it on a Mac with OS X 10.10.5 (currently in a Fusion VM). I do not think the fact that it's running in a Fusion VM differs since it works when I log in as root.

Failing sudo start

I am currently implementing an IDS solution in Tokyo. Japanese crop marks are required by my client to be on all outputs, laser printed and X1A PDFs. My solution works fine in InDesign workstation, marks are what they should be. However in IDS I get north american crop marks and the layout name slug is unprintable because it includes Japanese characters. I was told there is no Pacific rim version of IDS, but there appear to be one for InDesign. The menu for Japanese Crop marks is visible in the Japanese localized machines I work with but not in the north american machines, Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all,

I'm using adobe indesign cs6 on Mac-OS X EL Capitan

I'm really in a big problem, I worked for 9 hours yesterday on my magazine file, and I closed it normally, after saving it.

today I'm opening the file, and it shows like I didn't even work yesterday.

when I open all my file, from the side bar , it shows like I didn't work on any indesign file.

PLEASEEEE HELP ME!

Using InDesign Server,

I need to check each all stories avaiable. if there are a overset in a textframe, I need to return all tags associated to this story.

how can I find out all tags related to a stories?

Hi

I tried to download InDesign Server for windows from the https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=indesign_server. Following this gives me the "403: Header Length Too Large" as an error.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks,

So our tool has the ability to process .IDML files to .jpg's or .pdf's. Normally all works well and I can get a preview and pdf render within seconds. Lately I have this 1 template that's super small (<275K) and although my preview processes fine when I have it process to return a .pdf file it takes around 5 minutes to do so!

I have other templates that are way larger and more complicated that render out pdf's in seconds but this specific one is really baffling me.

Checked the .idml and it looks ok. It was built with InDesign CC 2014 and exported out as an IDML file. Our server is InDesign CS6. Would that make a difference?
