Leopard vs. InDesign: Crashes on Open, Import, Export, Save and Print.

One of the more frustrating Leopard-vs-InDesign issues we’re seeing at clients is a bug that causes frequent crashing when using InDesign CS3’s Open, Place, Import, Export, or Save dialog boxes. Designers may also experience these particular symptoms while re-linking graphics as well as printing files. Until Adobe or Apple fixes this issue, we have an […]

Leopard vs. InDesign: Can’t Hide InDesign.

A common Leopard-vs-InDesign complaint we hear from designers is not being able to hide InDesign, either from the InDesign menu or by pressing Command-H. And worse, if you can get InDesign to hide, you can’t get it back. Happily this problem can usually be fixed by deleting the InDesign preference file.

Proof your email designs in different email clients.

Seasoned graphic designers wouldn’t dream of sending a print project to press without first approving an accurate proof. Your client’s email marketing campaign should be no different. You need to be sure you know what your design looks like on the different email clients your readers might be using. Unless you have a studio filled […]

Change your Adobe CS3 serial number.

CS3-SerialNumber-Erase.gif

Managing serial numbers is a headache in almost every creative studio. If you have more than 3 designers on a network, someone has to take responsibility for keeping track of which serial numbers belong on which computers.

Creativetechs recommends that creative teams stop buying single-user copies of CS3. For the same cost, your studio can get a site license with a single serial number for your entire team. Here’s our tip from last year:

Transactional Licensing: Avoid serial number headaches with CS3!

But back to today’s tip: What if you are using a single-user copy of CS3, and you need to change which serial number is installed on a particular computer? It turns out Adobe makes changing the serial number easy as can be. No need to uninstall and reinstall software if you know where this “Erase my serial number” checkbox is located.

Here is a quick tutorial for something we walk clients through all the time. Say you’ve forgotten your studio’s wireless Airport password.
