That’s curious. I’m not sure what you mean by having a button with multiple hyperlinks inside it.

But please remember that you can always send bug reports to Adobe from their wishlist/bugreport web page.

I recently found a huge bug!

I was trying to do a menu, by using a button object containing some hyperlinks in CS2.

I created the hyperlink destinations and the hyperlinks normally, only they were residing in my buttons. Try as I might, inDesign would not Export the file I was working on as a .pdf. InDesign refused to export a pdf that had a hyperlink within a button. ID even *DELETED* a file when I tried to “save as” thinking that would solve the issue.

I brought the file home to try some edits in CS3, but had the same results.

After the hyperlinks were removed from inside the button (and all destinations were deleted) the file would export to a pdf normally.

Be cautious!

This is probably old news, but….

When converting a CS2 file to CS3, if you edit the file, then save it, all of the changes are lost…

There is also a lack of a .idlk file, so multiple people can open the same CS2 file…

We first saw this in beta, but now it is in live production, it appears to have not been addressed…??

Thanks David! It worked! Funny… I used to automatically trash the prefs in Quark when I had a problem. I didn’t think to try it with ID.

A blank purple canvas? That is very weird. Have you tried deleting your preferences? Something is obviously pretty wrong there; I haven’t heard of that.

Sarah, that sounds even weirder than the purple canvas! Wow. Again, try rebuilding your preferences. Let us know.

I just started getting an issue where, when I select anything on the page, the selection box is over and down about a quarter inch to the right (or more). The file LOOKS fine, but is next to impossible to work on. Restarting helped a couple of times, but no more. I had to retreat to CS2, which is a pain. Sound familiar to anyone? Suggestions?

I’m having issues where the user double clicks an INDD file and InDesign opens, but it’s just a blank purple canvas. Drawings do not open unless they’re opened through the program.

I was hoping this patch addressed that problem, but it doesn’t look like it does…

Aaron: I agree that the text highlighting thing is a hassle. One option: Hold down Command/Ctrl and click-and-hold the mouse button down on the frame. Don’t move the frame; just hold down the mouse button. A better solution is to open a new window and view both at once; or open the story editor and select the text in the story editor and make the change there, while watching the change on the unselected document window.

Techgrl: I agree that this is also a hassle. Anytime the preferences are wiped, this happens. Adding or removing a plug-in and restarting does it, too, which is crazy.

One result of this update is the reverting of keyboard shortcuts to Default. If you, as a user, has customized keyboard shortcuts, you’ll have to tell INDY to use them again!

I wish this WAS listed as a bug so it can be fixed.
Is there any way to hide the “highllight” of the selected text? When i apply gradients or any text effects to the text.. and then want to change the font is there a way to lose the Highlight while borwsing my fonts? Photoshop can do this with “command+H”
