My XPS 15 is a slightly older model but very similar specs. I seem to remember having that problem. I did a complete uninstall, first with the normal uninstaller and then with the Adobe CC Cleaner tool. Then a fresh install seemed to do the trick. ... View more

You can link to Excel files (tables) and then update them in InDesign. You have to do ALL your formatting with Table and Cell styles, or the formatting is removed when you update. (You can reapply it however.) That way, any updates to the data in Excel get updated in the InDesign file automatically. It might be a good idea to re-flow the Excel file with the link intact. There are third-party plugins that can do more complex layout work too. Here are some links on working with table styles and linking to Excel files: https://redokun.com/blog/create-or-insert-a-table-in-indesign https://redokun.com/blog/link-indesign-tables-to-excel-spreadsheets https://redokun.com/blog/indesign-table-styles ...

Since your computer has USB-C, the graphics card should have enough capability to power both the laptop and separate monitor. However, you should check the specifications on the built-in video card. Does your computer support HDMI? As long as you have an appropriate cable (HDMI 2) and your video card can support an external 4K, use the HDMI connection. Plus, it would free up your USB-C for other things. Each monitors should be set to the recommended resolution in the Display settings. Adjust the scaling factor accordingly. Check each Adobe software settings for uHD monitors but expect some glitches until Microsoft, Adobe, and Apple get everything updated properly for working with HD and uHD monitors. ... View more

You could add the URL in as metadata in Bridge or InDesign, and then have it automatically display in a caption when placed in ID. If you use PNGs, you could put hotspots on each image with the URL. If you use EPUBs or the In5 plugin, the image could contain a link. ... View more

Of course, PNG can be viewed on any browser. Most modern browsers can display an EPUB, but this should be tested with older browsers. The In5 plugin is made for displaying in a browser.  ... View more

Objects are master-page specific; layers are global--not just for masters, but for all pages. Create multiple layers: Master Items_Top Any Page Content Layer(s) go here Master Items_Bottom Items you want to float about page content move to or create on the Master Items_Top layer. Other master page items can be on the bottom layer. Lock the master layers as needed. However, if just the side bar is changing, why not used based on masters and override the side bar to add new content. Another option if the new content is just text and not color coded is to use the Section marker. ... View more

I really like/liked Encore too--I was sorry to see it go EOL too soon. If you use Encore, there is no more dynamic link--you do have to export out a MPEG2 or H.264 Blu ray and import it into Encore. @rodenthead: don't forget you can use double-layer DVDs. Virtually all DVD players will read them. That gives you double the storage of a single-layer DVD. ... View more

No need to take offense--what I meant was the OP stated "I tried to publish and preview my project in both swf and html5,...". You stated "You don't specify if you work on a responsive or a non-reponsive project." I was simply saying that I believe it had to be a non-responsive project if SWF was involved. ... View more

First you need to decide if you want to burn a movie-type disk or simply use the DVD as a storage device to transport the files. You indicated the latter. My suggestions are for using the DVD as a storage transport. NimChimpski's advice is for make a movie-type disk, which is fine but you will need some type of program to create a DVD menu-like interface. (You can install Premiere Pro CS6 with the Creative Cloud--that will include Encore. You can manually uninstall PPro CS6 and leave Encore behind or simply zip-compress the PPro CS6 program to prevent conflicts with the current PPro.) ... View more

It will be difficult to find a format (H.264 mp4) that makes smaller files. (There is the new H.265 codec, but it might not be supported by all players.) To reduce file size, you can try... Change the HD (I assume 1920 x 1080) to 1280 x 720 or 720 x 480 SD Widescreen Lower the variable bit rate and the maximum bit rate on each video You can batch process both steps, however you will have to experiment to see what quality is acceptable. Since you have so much content, I would create an HTML page for users to navigate the videos on the disc. ... View more

I find that the In Browser preview doesn't work with all newer browsers, especially Chrome. This is because it is using the SWF (Flash) preview and the browser is trying to protect you from malicious code loaded from your local drive. I find that the HTML5 in Browser preview usually works. If you have both exported, the SWF usually is the default. Try exporting ONLY the HTML5. ... View more

The question Adobe asks is just for marketing research--it does not affect the program. As mentioned, the tools in InDesign are not altered at all. Change your workspace to Advanced and make further changes from there. This is a typical workspace I use when on a single monitor (of descent resolution): Note that I always save my workspace to reset it as necessary. ... View more
