This document can help you troubleshoot the following:

  • Problems and errors that may occur after you install a third-party plug-in for Adobe InDesign.
  • Errors when using certain plug-ins included with InDesign.
  • Errors referring to plug-ins that are associated with particular documents.
  • Errors indicating that certain plug-ins are missing.
  • Problems and errors when a particular plug-in is referenced in a crash log file.

Please search the Adobe Knowledgebase for possible issues with specific third-party plugins before you contact Adobe Technical Support or the manufacturer of the third party plug-in.

Adobe Technical Support can help you isolate problems related to plug-ins. However, if it has been determined that the problem is directly relates to a plug-in created by another company, you will need to contact that company for further support.

If you experience problems after installing a third-party plug-in (for example, a trapping or imposition plug-in), or if a third-party plug-in suddenly causes errors in InDesign, then ask yourself the following questions to narrow down the source of the problem:

  • Has the plug-in ever worked properly? If so, what has changed on the system?
  • Are other plug-ins and the InDesign application working?

If, after answering these questions, you are convinced the problem is specifically with the plug-in and not the result of broader, system-level issues, then proceed through the steps in this document.

The steps below are written for InDesign CS5,version 7.x, as an example. Replace the version number with '6' for InDesign CS4.

Mac OS:

  1. Drag the 'Version 7.0' folder from Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/ to the desktop.
  2. Drag the 'Version 7.0' folder from Users/[user name]/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/ to the desktop.

or: Hold down Command+Option+Control+Shift immediately after launching InDesign again.

WIN OS:

  1. Drag the 'Version 7.0' folder from C:Documents and Settings[user name]Application DataAdobeInDesign to the desktop.
  2. Drag the 'Caches' folder from C:Documents and Settings[user name]Local SettingsApplication DataAdobeInDesignVersion 7.0 to the desktop.

Or: hold down the Ctrl+Alt+Shift Keys immediately after launching InDesign again.

InDesign creates new preference files on launch of the application.

The folders you moved to the desktop contain InDesign's old preference files, 'InDesign SavedData' file and 'InDesign Defaults.' These can be moved back, if the issue is not resolved by creating new preference files.

2. Ensure that your system meets minimum requirements for InDesign and the plug-in.

In some cases, plug-ins or suites of plug-ins designed for complex tasks may require more memory than InDesign requires.

Memory and other system requirements for InDesign can be found on the outside sleeve of the InDesign box as well as in the Introduction chapter of the InDesign user guide. System requirements for the third-party plug-in should be included in the plug-in documentation.

A damaged disk sector or virus can prevent a plug-in from launching or from working properly. Make sure you scan your disk for errors using a disk utility (for example, Apple Disk Utility, Disk First Aid, or Scandisk) and also scan it using a virus-detection utility that uses the latest virus definitions. For more information on these procedures, refer to the troubleshooting documents listed at the end of this document.
