It is likely that you installed cc2019 and then deleted/uninstalled 2018. This is a known issue and breaks your file icon associations. It is best to uninstall cc2018 then install cc2019 to avoid this issue. Simply uninstall and reinstall Indesign and it should fix the icon issues. ... View more

Have you checked out any videos on how to use the data merge feature? once you connect your data source then you can click to add the fields where you want them to populate.

Make sure that you dont have extra keyframes form the mask. Sometimes it is hard to see unless you zoom in quite a bit. Sometimes the keyframe is way off in the distance too. If your mask is moving, there is a keyframe somewhere. If you cannot find it, you might unclick the stopwatch to remove all keyframes and reset it. - Let me know how it goes. Dax ... View more

Actually Theresa, we spent quite a bit of time helping you. Providing solutions, troubleshooting your question and in the end solving it. Your last comment that it was a faulty keyboard makes no sense since you clearly stated: When he shows hidden characters, it isn't a paragraph symbol, it isn't a down arrow, it's more of a down carat... And that "down carrot" is the reveal code for column break as was shown by Laubender. He provided you the correct solution to your problem to which you replied... Nope....was just a bad keyboard. (and thus my comment). We are always willing to help. And as Uwe stated, screenshots really help us troubleshoot issues more than descriptions like "it adds a whole lot of space." We are sorry if you felt we were somehow making you feel small. I assure you no one here has that intent. - Dax ... View more

Gitlecker - If you look closely you can see that the video has frame-by-frame edits that were most likely done in Photoshop. I would bet they did about 30 frames and the looped it and then set the new text on a layer above. You can see the obvious clone edits in the "Has to look like this" I think your exercise in this example is fairly clear. And definitely not an Illustrator solution. I know you don't want to do the frame by frame but hopefully I have given you enough info that you can use to avoid editing 300 frames. -Dax ... View more

Uwe, When you start a new document with Primary Text Frame enabled and you paste into a document, the default function will be that it will automatically add enough pages to hold all your text.

The problem stems from inherit page number data in each of the page sets in your pdf. It looks like you have some autocad files, mixed other documents and I am betting that the page number data behind the scenes is what is causing the conflict. I agree that Acrobat should strip and reset all this data as the pdf is being created. But understanding the problem is half the battle. For sure it should fix all that on its own. ... View more

Okay.. well that rules out file size issues. have you checked your raster settings for the drop shadow effect? Same effect if you drop it down to 72dpi? ... View more

Do the following as a test. 1. Create new illustrator document 2. Make a simple circle with a blue fill 3. Apply drop shadow Does it freeze? Usually freezing on things like drop shadows and blurs are a memory issue and are related to file size/resolution. Let me know if the simple test works or freezes like your original document. - Dax ... View more

Just a guess, but it sounds like it might be a circular reference issue. You might run a test with a blank document and just a few figures to see if they still flash. By no means is this comment a solution but more like a possible troubleshooting path. -Dax ... View more

Hi Theresa, While I understand your situation and have been there myself in employment situations where things are "just done this way," There is no escaping the fact that the method they are using is an incorrect method that causes more problems than it solves and is never necessary. I completely get that now is probably not the time to "train" anyone on the finer points of proper paragraph settings, please know that everything can be adjusted with the correct paragraph, hyphenation and and "keep" settings. Understanding how to use the tools the correct way is always preferred. It's like getting that word document where someone used 50 spaced to line up text instead of setting tabs. That being said.. lets address your request. You stated "We can't figure it out... Suggestions?" Can you clarify what you are asking? 1. If you hold down Shift when pressing return, this is a soft return. 2. Without seeing your paragraph settings or a screenshot we cannot give you advice as to what is happening. Things like line spacing, hidden characters, "keep with" options, balanced lines and space-before and space-after are all things that can add extra space between lines. More information will help us solve your current issue of what is happening with your text. - Thanks Dax ... View more
