MemberWow, this is amazing! Who knew that a wish I asked for in 2015 would get granted in 2019! Theunis De Jong, thank you!
February 13, 2014 at 9:18 am in reply to: Can't drag any objects. Trashing preferences doesn't solve it. #67163MemberI’m afraid not. If I log out and back it, the problem goes away for a day or so.

February 11, 2014 at 1:38 pm in reply to: Can't drag any objects. Trashing preferences doesn't solve it. #67118MemberAny other tips? This is still happening for me under OS X 10.9.1
October 18, 2013 at 8:04 am in reply to: When doc page shuffles, get right- or left-hand master to apply #65869MemberHey Dwayne,
Thanks for your help. Honestly, I can’t follow what you’ve written. What do you mean by “inside to inside” and “outside to outside”? Also, what is the use of changing your outside margin if that will upset the master text frame? Also also, you then say that InDesign needs to see master page guides, but I thought you just said that what needs to move is the master text frame, and that guides can be placed however I please.
Can you elaborate a little?
Thanks!

OS 10.8.4This computer only has one account. The problem is intermittent anyway, so it’s not as if I could create a new account to test in, unfortunately.
MemberHi Elaine,
I think I can help with this. First the query, then a translation. I have tested this in InDesign and it finds all three of your examples above. It should work for others as well.
\(\d+(-|?|?)\d+( B\.C\.)?( A\.D\.)?\)
The translation of this is:
1. A literal open parenthesis
2. Followed by one or more digits
3. Followed by either a hyphen OR an en dash OR an em dash
4. Followed by one or more digits
5. Optional: followed by the string ” B.C.”
6. Optional: followed by the string ” A.D.”
7. Followed by a literal close parenthesisFebruary 23, 2013 at 12:29 pm in reply to: "Failed to Export the PDF File" ? Standard troubleshooting not working. Help!! #64271MemberThanks. I'll stay vigilant!
February 21, 2013 at 10:25 am in reply to: "Failed to Export the PDF File" ? Standard troubleshooting not working. Help!! #64235MemberI recommend uploading your (sample, failing file) in the cloud and putting the link here. Let others test and help you out. (Check whether you are allowed to do that).
Over the past 24 hours, the errors have seemed to stop. But this is an excellent idea, and I may very well post the file if the problem comes back.
BTW, there could also be some problem sector on your disk. Erratic and intermittent problems often indicate some disk error.
Great to know. I actually just opened Disk Utility (I'm on a Mac) and checked my HD. Lo and behold—it found some errors and required me to boot into my recovery partition to restore the disk! So glad you chimed in! Do you know if I should expect that to solve the disk problems? If not, do you know what I should be watching for to see if disk problems still exist?
Thanks!
February 19, 2013 at 7:30 pm in reply to: "Failed to Export the PDF File" ? Standard troubleshooting not working. Help!! #64208MemberThe document was 400 pages, so I converted it into an InDesign book with about 15 chapters. The problem persists.
So currently I have tried all the troubleshooting steps mentioned and not seen any fix.
February 19, 2013 at 2:31 pm in reply to: "Failed to Export the PDF File" ? Standard troubleshooting not working. Help!! #64207MemberPlease verify the text using commonly available PC fonts.
Just replaced all the Google Fonts and tried re-exporting. Got the same error. So I don't think the fonts are the problem.
Next, try reducing your page count and re-check. These apps soon lose their marbels and behave stupidly.
I will do this next. Thanks.
February 16, 2013 at 12:01 pm in reply to: "Failed to Export the PDF File" ? Standard troubleshooting not working. Help!! #64179MemberMy guess is it's the google web-fonts, i don't believe that those fonts are made to build a PDF, either for print or to display it onto the web. It's, to my understanding, only to display a font other than the usuals on websites.
Thanks for your advice, Hopsa. These are standard font files and they can be used for any purpose. The issue isn't their capability. The issue is (at least maybe) their stability.
But it's not a complete unreality that your document is to long.
Indesign can might as well choke on that big story of text.
Okay—good to know.
Try a copy of your document with another font, choose one that shipped with your CS or OS, to make sure it's vallid!
I will. Thanks for your advice. Please let me know if you get any other ideas.
December 4, 2012 at 10:36 am in reply to: Oldstyle numerals convert to small caps (or something?) when exporting #63675MemberBob, thanks so much for your idea. I ended up leaving it as-is and rebuilding those paragraph and character styles in the next version of the document, and the problem is gone now, so I'm happy to forget about it.
I checked and it was not affecting my footnote numbering. Didn't try switching from italic to roman per your suggestion, but I'm happy to give it a shot if you're curious.
Much obliged!
