Strange, add page to folio suddenly greyed out..?

Apr 14, 2012 10:25 AM

I'm logged in and can see all my folios. I wanted to add a document as article to my folio but for some reason the add button below the folio panel is greyed out. The folio is 1024 x 768 and my document (yes it is aved) as well. Even a new document doesn't work. Tried this with several folio's, doensn't matter which folio I select innthe Folio Builder panel, the add button stays greyed out..

I can use the Import option however.

??????

    No-one else sees this? I've tried uninstalling and re-installing but still the same greyed out button. It also says that no documnet is open when I try to use Preview folio from the File menu...  ??

    Mac OS X, 10.7.3, latest Java update (the Apple fix from last days - maybe that is the problem?)

    Is the folio locked by any chance?

    It looks like InDesign does not (or the Mac OS?) see that there are documents open, trying Preview Folio from the File menu says There are no documents open to preview. In that case it makes sense the Add button is grey, so the question is: why does InDesign not see tht there is a documnt open?

    This looks like a system call that got broken with the katest Java security update from Apple...

    I do not have this problem.

     

    I am using 10.7.3 with ID CS5. From Apple menu, software update it seems to be up to date. My Java version from terminal is:

     

    java version "1.6.0_31"

    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_31-b04-415-11M3635)

    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.6-b01-415, mixed mode)

     

    Perhaps an InDesign problem if cannot see active document.
