InDesign - Out of Memory?!

Found the problem ...something going wonky with my Optima font.

Have you checked to see if you have Optima installed? :lol: :wink:

Yeah, we have a PS version, and the .dfont that comes default with OS X.

I hate friggin fonts... ;)

Shit-can that OSX version, along with every sign of Helvetica Fractions.dfont

Yeah, I think I'll do that. I have it turned off in FontBook, but InDesign doesn't look like it cares ;)

I have a simple InDesign document at work that refuses to print ...before it gets done flattening it says it's out of memory, or something to that effect. The page has ~5 images on it and a couple lines of text. One image (the background image) is at 15% opacity ...all of the other images are 100%. All of the images are Grayscale.

I have even deleted the image with transparency and it still won't finish. I am running with the most current version of InDesign and I'm working on a dual 2.5ghz G5 with 4 gigs of RAM. ...oh, and I can export to PDF just fine.

Anyone know what is going on?

Just a tip. It saves alot of memory in InDesign if you don't use transparency. If it's just a background image or something that doesn't overlap, take that image that is 15% into Photoshop, make the image actually 15%, then display it at 100% in ID. In my experience, ID becomes a hog on memory when you use transparencies.

While transparencies do add to the memory instensiveness of ANY application, I use transparency HEAVILY in ID files all day long and never have issues at all. Of course, having a dual 2ghz G5 with nearly 2gigs of RAM most likely helps the cause, I've also run on a 733mhz G4 (1 gig RAM) with no issues either (other than slow document scrolling). Zwei's problem most likely was due to a corrupted font, which OSX and Adobe apps take particular exception to, more so than OS9 did.
