perfect! that's sorted it. thank you so much. p.s. it's not getting sent to a printer - it's for an online publication - but I will bear that in mind if they decide to print it at some point.

ah, ok .... i've changed the ruler units to inches and .... the custom page height is showing at 214", which explains why it's getting cropped when I export it to pdf! it's a bit annoying not being able to export it to pdf, but I may be able to get around this in the final production stages. but in the event that I have to export it as a pdf, how do I change my custom page size to shorten the page a bit? if document size is different to page size (which makes sense), then where do i go to change the page size, if not in document setup? thanks every one for your patience and your help so far e

i've now worked out the length - it's 15500 pixels long - i formatted it initially as one very long scrolling page without page breaks. that works out to 161 inches - apparently there is a 200 inch limit for pdfs, and as far as I can tell i'm under that. not sure what you mean by how big are my pixels? sorry i'm still learning indesign : )

hi there, I've just finished working on a quite long Indesign document and am trying to export it to pdf. when exporting I get the following message: '1 problem was found with a background task' .... I've no idea what the actual problem is, but it shows up as a missing section at the very top of the pdf - a bit less than a page. the rest of the document is there, and it looks fine. the page itself is a very long narrow one - when I created it, I used a width of 1024px, and a length that I believe was around 11000 px, but I can't tell now, because when i got to 'Document Setup', it tells me that my page height is 3600px. However, I believe I'm seeing more than that on the screen. I've tried saving as idml and exporting from there - the problem persists. I've also tried exporting as Acrobat 5 - same problem. there are no errors in the Indesign file (little green dot) I'm running Indesign 14.0.2, and macOS Mojave 10.14.6 any ideas? thank you in advance. e

Hi there, I'm having a little issue with the opacity setting in Indesign. I've placed a number of objects (images) and i want to make them transparent. However, the opacity setting doesn't seem to be doing anything - even with the slider sent all the way down to 0% opacity, the images remain relentlessly opaque. I've had a look over the related questions in this forum - I don't think it's a global colour issue, and I'm working in Typical display performance - would appreciate any other suggestions. cheers
