Re: font hebrew wrong direction (link to right)

Peter Spier

Do you actually have text selected when assigning the direction, or entered new text after making the formatting adjustment?

Boith .psd and .tif support transparent backgrounds...

I haven't tried them, but it looks to me like both the scripts in the first link that Eugene posted, and the script that Rob Day linked to will do 4-up

Missing interface elements are generally cache, rather than preference, problems, so in the link that @Robert at ID-Tasker supplief above scroll down to the section on resetting manually for the locations of the cache files.

Peter Spier · ‎Dec 12, 2024

Clever, but not I think, practical for a multiline paragraph, especially with a variable number of lines.

Peter Spier · ‎Dec 12, 2024

@Robert at ID-Tasker problem can't be with a parent Page object -- those are always behind objects on the same layer on the document page and rectangle is clearly on top layer.

For the record, I don't write the scripts, I just know where to find them.

From your screen shot it looks to me like you are just trying to change the capitalization. Try clicking the Aa button to turn on case sensitivity.

and how do i check if I am installing something I don't need? By @Preet362031139ipq Once the CC Desktop App is installed you will be able to install only the other component programs you want to use. For what it's worth, I have multiple versions of InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator, along with Bridge and the desktop app installed and the entire Adobe program files folder is using less than 15 gb of drive space. I can't say why you are seeing so much more, but it isn't normal.

Peter Spier · ‎Dec 03, 2024

If the installer is saying you don't have enough space there is almost cerainly something wrong on your system. Have you checked the system requirements? Are you trying to install programs you don't need along with the ones you will be using?

Peter Spier · ‎Dec 03, 2024

Right. Reading too fast and missed that last part.

Peter Spier · ‎Dec 03, 2024

I've had success reinstalling old versions by first running the base installer, then overwriting the program folder with a copy of an updated install from an old machine.

Peter Spier · ‎Dec 02, 2024

OK, Thanks. That's the same result as placing twice in InDesign and cropping there, but clearly easier if automated in Acrobat.

Peter Spier · ‎Dec 01, 2024

I would do this with two tabs, the first with no leader after the initial text to set the start point for the dots, and the second with the dot leader. Just type the dot into the field where it says leader in the dialog. And your example would be using only LEFT aligned tabs. With a right-aligned tab you are setting an end point and the text fills back from that point so the lines would all be the same length (but maybe that's what you are trying to achieve and the example doesn't show what you really want).

Peter Spier · ‎Dec 01, 2024

Are you having a problem with adding a right-aligned tab and specifying a leader? That should work.

If the PDF was created with spreads (two pages together on a single sheet) rather than being displayed as two pages side-by-side (which is an Acrobat view setting) there is no way that I know of to split the pages apart so you will probably have to import the PDF twice and crop the pages to left and right sides. This will be a fair amount of work. Your job will be much easier if you are able to find a PDF created as single pages.

Peter Spier · ‎Dec 01, 2024

If the cost of your time to re-create the file from scratch is high it may be worth trying the paid recovery service from Markzware: Bad InDesign or Quark File Recovery Submission Form

Peter Spier · ‎Dec 01, 2024

There is also a Revert command in the File Menu that will take you back to the last saved condition.

There is an even better script that allows for scaling and positioning on the page that you can download from Releases · mike-edel/ID-MultiPageImporter · GitHub You may also need to see How to install scripts in InDesign | InDesignSecrets

The very first thing to do is reset the preferences and see if that helps. See Reset InDesign Preferences and Other Troubleshooting It's quite common for problems like this to develop if you migrate preferences from an old to a new version whern installing. Also, you should update the OS to the latest version of Sequoia. There were tons of problems with version 20 running on Sonoma...

BUT the original spreadsheet file would have had empty fields for any missing listings. As long as those are not removed BEFORE applying the next-style settings, it would work fine. After that, you can remove excess returns. By @Dave Creamer of IDEAS Actually, that isn't as easy as you think. The blank paragrapghs aren't really blank -- they have a merge field placeholder -- and there are problems with the styles shifting to the wrong paragraphs. @UweLaubender did a remarkable job some years back solving this but my link to the discussion on the old forum is now dead. 😞

Peter Spier · ‎Nov 23, 2024

I might go even further and put the merge field on an otherwise blank page and the circles on a different Parent Page and apply that parent after the merge. I'm guessing those circles are die lines for cutting, or possibly placeholders for precut labels that aren't actually required except to check positioning. Also I'm on record here more than a few times as advixing against using preview with multiple record per page merges -- it ofter triggers a corruption of the template unless you "undo" after the preview and before running the merge.

Peter Spier · ‎Nov 21, 2024

Are you working for screen? Personally, I would probably draw the path in Photoshop, or perhaps use image trace in Illustrator, understanding that no smooth vector path will exactly follow any pixel edge except a true horizontal or vertical line. But again, if you need to be working with pixels, but also need to avoid snapping to the pixel grid, switching the ruler dimensions to Points should allow you to do that with no numeric changes -- one-to-one correspondence between the units, only the name of the unit will change.

Peter Spier · ‎Nov 20, 2024

I suspect James was correct, and your page size is just too small for InDesign to put page info between the marks, but it may still have to do withthe marks offset, which is WAAAY to small. Crops need to be offset at least as much as your bleed allowance so they don't intrude into the bleed area.

Peter Spier · ‎Nov 19, 2024

I think it's just good practice to Save As at the end of any editing session to eliminate the possibility of creeping crud buildup. Doing a Save a Copy and then a Save As (or vice versa) would accomplish the same thing as my earlier suggestioin of two Save As.

Peter Spier · ‎Nov 19, 2024

Two things to check for differences in their text and yours: Did they apply baseline shift to move the text upward? Or more likely they've added a Y offset to the anchored objects to move them down (check the anchored object options dialog). That offset can be saved as part of an object style to make it easier to apply.

Peter Spier · ‎Nov 19, 2024

One way around losing the link to the book file is to do TWO Save As actions, first with a new name for backup, then again immediately to the original name to overwrite the file and remove the crud.

Peter Spier · ‎Nov 19, 2024

I'm presumiong you are printing diorect from InDesign. Does it print better if you export to PDF and print that? Do you by chance have Simulate Paper Color checked off in the Color Management pane of the print dialog? That will often add a background tint to everything, otherwise you might be suffering from YDB (see InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Eliminating YDB (Yucky Discolored Box) Syndrome ). As Scott says, more info would help a lot.
