You're under no obligation to use Blurb's ID plug-in for them to publish your book. Check their specs and create your own file to upload.

I agree with Derek that creating an email like this is infinitely easier using MailChimp or similar product. My only experience is with MailChimp, but I recommend it highly.

As others have said, add a generous amount to the slug area. Drag ruler guides to where the folds should go. Make sure to lock all guides (View > Grids and Guides > Lock Guides). Then draw dashed black (0/0/0/100) lines over the ruler guides that extend into the slug area. Once all the folds lines have been drawn, select them and choose Non-printing from the Attributes panel. This is how I do it, although it's always a good idea to check first with your printer, if possible.

If it were me I'd create the gradient item in Photoshop and then place the .psd file into InDesign.

Recosoft makes a product called ID2Office. But before you run off and buy it, I suggest reading this excellent article on using InDesign exported PDFs to create Word docs: http://bit.ly/2AeObwh Regardless of which method you use, I would suggest that your Word doc be carefully proofread to make sure everything is in its proper place.

OK. Do this: Create a new InDesign document (File > New > Document). Make the new doc the same size as your existing printed pages. Deselect "Facing Pages" if the folios (page numbers) are to be placed at the same location on each page. If, on the other hand, the folios locations are different on even and odd pages, then leave "Facing Pages" selected. Open the Pages panel (Window > Pages). Double-click on the Master page icon (or icons) to make them visible. Place a text frame on each master. Insert your cursor in the text frame(s) and choose Type > Insert Special Character > Markers > Current Page Number. Format each folio accordingly (i.e., font, color, weight, etc.). If it's a 100 page document, choose Layout > Pages > Insert Pages and add 99 more pages. Save document. Print a few test pages of the new blank document to make sure the folios are placed and formatted correctly. When everything is good to go, load your existing document into your printer and choose File > Print.

Do you have the original InDesign document or only PDFs? Please clarify.

Sometimes I've discovered that the content is still there, but no longer in its original frame. Try selecting all frames and choosing Object > Fitting > Fit Content to Frame. If the content is still there it will reappear in the existing frames.

Peter Kahrel has a donationware script that allows greater control over PDF page export from InDesign book files. I've never used it, but it looks like it might be of some help. Here's a link: Export individual book documents to PDF | Peter Kahrel

There are scripts and plug-ins out there that will do most of the heavy lifting of converting documents from one size to another. QuickResize, from ID-Extras.com, is one such plug-in that I've used with great success in the past. Give it a try. QuickResize | Id-Extras.com

Are you sure the fuzzy files are linked within InDesign? If the files are missing or no longer properly linked, this would explain why your images are appearing fuzzy.

Lack of contrast in value fields can be a real problem when working in InDesign. My solution (for now) is to either zoom in on these fields when typing in values, or use a magnifying utility like Zoom It. On Mac OS, go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Zoom (left hand column in attached screen shot) and enable the checkboxes you need. Zoom It application (http://www.zoomitapp.com/) can be purchased for $2.99 from the Mac App Store.

I wish I could understand your question, chandra85606207. It also sounds to me that your post is more of a feature request, no? If so, feature requests should be posted elsewhere.

Depending on InDesign's Export settings, PDFs can easily vary in size. I suggest you or your boss create a PDF Preset that can be shared with others in your office. Assuming everyone uses this preset with no alterations, all exported PDFs should be the same size. Let me know if you need to know how to Save or Load a PDF Preset, which is quite simple.

I've never understood why this plug-in is so expensive. I suppose it's pure supply and demand economics: it has no competition and, as you say, if you create a lot of tables the price is eventually justified.

InDesign has no way of automatically knowing if your text is over a light or dark object. I suggest making two paragraph styles; one for text over a light background and one for text over a dark background. The problem of Master Pages can be solved by having a Light Text Master and a Dark Text Master. Apply the Light or Dark Master that's appropriate given the background shade or color Does this help?

In addition to Lynda.com video training, I highly recommend reading The Adobe InCopy CS2 Book by Adam Pratt and Mike Richman. Because so little has really changed in InCopy since CS2, this book is still relevant and thorough.

In my experience, Table Styles only work for very simple tables. Using Table Styles on a more complex table always fails. And yes, I've created and applied Cell Styles to these same tables, and included the Cell Style in the Table Style. Wish this problem weren't so, which is why I suggested WoodWing's Smart Styles plug-in.

I've never found Table Styles to be very reliable. I suggest downloading a demo of WoodWing's Smart Styles and trying with this powerful plug-in.

Go to View > Screen Mode > Normal. If the item is locked you'll see a small padlock icon on any locked objects. Simply click on the lock icon with the black arrow tool to unlock the object. Or, go to Object > Unlock all on spread.

Is the text frame locked? Is the text frame on a Master page? If so, is the Master based on another Master? Is the layer locked?
