Until we hear back from the OP, it is difficult to know what is actually getting converted. 99% sure the problem is RGB text is getting converted to CMYK as the CMYK specs are a perfect match. The question is why it is happening on some text and not other. I've never seen InDesign do that random conversion on its own, so my suspension is that some text must be in a graphic of some sorts. We don't really know how the text was selected--could be inline graphics for all we know. I would say the best option for the OP for this file is to use Acrobat Pro to convert the RGB text with Preserve Black and Promote Gray to CMYK Black selected. If the problem continues, more input would be needed. RE: PDF/X-4... Sorry--I should have said "so it should not be set to Convert to Destination." Just because InDesign's PDF settings allow or don't allow something, does not mean it is following the actual specification. Acrobat Pro's preflight would not help here because if all the graphics were converted prior to running the preflight, Acrobat wouldn't know since the all-ready converted CMYK graphics are still in the spec. ...

@Rob: Exactly my point. If the images are RGB, they are getting converted to CMYK. I believe the Preserve Numbers refers to CMYK to CMYK conversions. PDF/X-4 by definition does not convert colors, so it could not be set to Convert to Destination. ... View more

For some reason, custom presets are not always imported (been like this for a while and should be fixed). You can import them since your custom presets should still be on your hard drive at: Documents>Adobe>Adobe Media Encoder>11.0 (if from 2017)>Presets. ... View more

Saving an image from JPEG to PSD won't create or get back any quality. What Chad was suggesting was preventing further degradation. Any compression in the JPEG happened already during the initial capture. I just did a quick test of a folder full of files (mainly to see how text was affected). Saved the screen capture in JPEG (lossy) and PNG (non-lossy) format. Placed in InDesign; Scaled at 100%, 70%, and 50%. Used High Quality PDF settings. Result: All look fine, but can definitely see artifacts around text in JPEG. Tried again with no compression--still saw artifacts in JPEG. As you mentioned, both looked fine in Photoshop at 100% view, but when I zoomed in, I could see the artifacts in the JPEG. Essentially, Photoshop was making the JPEG look better. My conclusion: Don't save as JPEG when the capturing. Use PNG or TIFF (if TIFF, use only LZW compression). Does it make sense? Not really. One would assume what one see in Photoshop would be what one sees in ID and into Acrobat. However, since that is not the case, the workflow needs to be adjusted. (I realize this does not help your current problem, but will help with in the future.) ... View more

Regardless of how the pages are set up, all that is needed is two styles: HeaderNoTOC (This can be on the master page, or simply typed in anywhere one wants) HeaderForTOC (Identical based on style) Note: names are just for illustration purposes. Simply apply the HeaderNoTOC to all pages by default. On the first page, apply HeaderForTOC to the very first page/instance. ... View more

What are your Compression and Image Quality settings at? For compression, use Automatic (JPEG) or Zip. For Image Quality, use High or Maximum. Resolution will not affect these since they would be below the "images above" threshold--unless you res'd them up in Photoshop. Finally, I would never use JPEG for screen captures. Use PNG. Using JPEG compromises the files during the initial creating and save; it's all downhill from there. Viewing JPEGs in other programs doesn't always reflect reality since there could be anti-aliasing occurring. ... View more

You need to right-click on the first style. You can also set up an Object Style to apply the first style and then the next styles. Another thing you can do with Next Styles is set the third line's next style to the first style. The formatting will cycle through on lone repetitive lists. ... View more

I assume you are wanted to have the pages bleed into the spine--correct? If the same graphic extends between both pages, the spine bleed will still output. If using different graphics per page that bleed to the spine, you can pull the spreads apart when edited is finalized. To do that, select all the pages in the layout and turn off Allow Document Pages to Shuffle (should really be "require document pages to shuffle"). Then pull the right page to the right until you see a thin line on the Page panel. Let go of mouse. Unfortunately, you will have to do this spread by spread. ... View more

Here is an example file: https://adobe.ly/2ytWS4C​ The master pages used an auto page number, a section marker, and in-line text box (to put section "page number" at end of marker), and a date variable. I overrode all master page items at once using the Page panel. (I prevented the footer from being overridden on the master page.) I changed the section maker as needed and then changed the section "page number" to restart at 1. (I did it every 25 pages in this example to keep it simple). ... View more

As Michael said, you can't use auto-page numbering twice on the same page and get different numbering options. You will HAVE to use paragraph styles to use that numbering (see my post). If you can't get it to work, let me know if you can send me your file and I will set it up for you. ... View more

@Vinny38: If I'm "reading" your animation correctly, we are all just using slight variation on a theme. I don't see the practical difference of using a separate master page, typing in the title, and applying a unique style used int the TOC vs overriding the text object on just the first page and apply a unique style. Both techniques can use variables for the header. There is nothing wrong with overriding master page items IF it is done with purpose. @Barb: You are correct--headers will not show up in the TOC unless overridden. ... View more

I would use these two options. For either option, create a style for the repeating header ("About Us"). Do NOT include this style in the TOC settings. 1: Override master page text object on the first page and apply and identical, based-on style that IS included in the TOC settings. 2: Create a small text object at the top of the first page of each section, enter your TOC heading, and apply a style that IS included in the TOC. Set the attributes to non-printing the the Attributes panel. Leave the master page header (not included in the TOC) alone. (Put the text box in a library to use it on other sections.) Option 2 is a great technique to add text to the TOC that is not on the actual page, such as content descriptions. ... View more

If Example 1: Edit the Section header paragraph style to use numbering; format to put number at end of paragraph. Split the document into separate documents by section. Put the documents into a book. Number will restart by default on a per document basis. If you don't want to split the document--although it would be a good idea--use the paragraph numbering. Create a style to reset/restart number at 1. Apply at the beginning of each new section. Unfortunately, in either case the header will have to be editable on each page. You can override master items on the entire document in the Pages panel. (Put stuff you don't want to override on a locked layer or set to not override.) ... View more

Is the entire section one number or do you want the section number to increment independently from the page number?

If styles were not used, change the language on the Basic Paragraph style in the Paragraph Style panel. (Do this anyway even if styles were used.) If Styles were used, I would not use Find & Change. Hopefully based-on styles were used. Look at the styles panels and track down the "parent" styles. Change them and any based-on styles will change too. (If based-on setting is set to No Paragraph Style, you will have to change the language on a style-by-style basis.) ... View more
