Bob has written an in-depth article about interactive PDFs with interesting follow-up comments from other users: It's okay to say no to interactive PDF

Probably best for you take out a subscription – you get the latest version of Photoshop and updates plus Lightroom for less that £7 a month (UK prices).

Have a look at Flip Builder: Order ebook converter software to create flipbook easily.[FlipBuilder.com]

Derek Cross · ‎May 26, 2016

There are a number of companies offering a flip-book facility, usually from a PDF, which you can create from an InDesign document - here's an example: Flipbook Software

JPGs don't have transparency, save it as a PNG for website use.

Make sure you're on a Normal layer. If your image is on a Background layer double click on it in the Layers panel to convert it to a Normal layer.

‌You should normally get a spec from your printer. If that's not available I'd choose the latter.

Derek Cross · ‎Apr 07, 2016

‌If it's Photoshop CC2014/2015 you need to install the Creative Cloud app. Did you uninstall PS before updating your computer, if not you may need to get in touch with Adobe to reset your usage count.

And if your local print shop is using CMYK to print, you'll loose around a third of your RGB colours (whatever colour space you're using). To get the best reproduction from your paintings, use a printer, such as a high-end epson inkjet with around 10 colours. If you don't want to buy your own printer you can use a high end digital printer, for example, here's one in the UK: https://www.theprintspace.co.uk (You'll still need to calibrate your monitor and use printer profiles)

‌You may still be able to get PS CS6 directly from Adobe. Regarding the Creative Cloud applications, you don't have to be connected to use them. You download the application in the normal way, and the system automatically checks (once a month I think) that you're up-to-date with your subscription. It's very straightforward and you have quick access to updates. And, if you don't want to use the software for a bit, you can suspend payment till you need it again.

You can get Photoshop CC and Lightroom CC for a monthly cost of £8.57 (UK), similar plans presumably in other territories: https://creative.adobe.com/plans?store_code=gb&promoid=KSPAK

Yes, it's Photoshop lite, but unless you're a Photoshop power user it will probably do you! http://www.lynda.com/articles/photoshop-elements-vs-photoshop-cc

Derek Cross · ‎Mar 10, 2016

You could buy Photoshop Elements 14 as a standalone application for around $70.

Derek Cross · ‎Mar 02, 2016

‌Lynda.com has an excellent online tutorial on color management and InDesign - InDesign Insider Training: Color Management | Lynda.com You can get a 10 day free trial.

‌As your printer hasn't given you a spec it'd probably best to work in RGB in InDesign, and export the InDesign document using the Acrobat PDF Presets, selecting PDF/X-4. In the subsequent Acrobat panel, select individual pages (not spreads), and tick Use Document Bleed Settings.

Derek Cross · ‎Mar 02, 2016

‌Re your proposed InDesign conversion to CMYK, what is your final printing destination, is it your desk-top printer, a commercial litho printer or what?

Derek Cross · ‎Feb 19, 2016

If your going to ask such a question, you should really state your Photoshop version and OS. https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/system-requirements.html

Derek Cross · ‎Feb 18, 2016

You can buy Photoshop Elements for Mac and Windows for a one-off payment of around $70: Amazon.com: Adobe Photoshop Elements 14: Software

Are you sure you trashed your InDesign preferences – did you see the question? Close InDesign and relaunch it, and IMMEDIATELY hold down Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or Cmd + Ctrl + Opt + Shift (Mac), and respond with Yes to the dialog asking if you really want to replace the preferences. If you aren't asked the question, you didn't hold down the keys quickly enough!

Derek Cross · ‎Feb 12, 2016

Which OS?

Derek Cross · ‎Feb 08, 2016

Did you add a Mailto: action to the send button in InDesign and did you export it as an Interactive PDF? And did you Reader enable the form so that users with only Acrobat Reader can enter data and store it?

Derek Cross · ‎Feb 08, 2016

Without any document open, open the InDesign preferences and under the Units and Increments tab change the Ruler Units to millimetres.

If it's PS CC2015 that's expired, try downloading CC2014.

Cleo Tango, the Adobe forums are user-to-user forms where we try help and support one another with advice and views on a number of individual Adobe applications. It helps all of us to get a variety of suggestions – you may be right and I may be wrong in our views, this approach helps all of us. Try and understand that there isn’t anything personal in this and you should try and keep your comments friendly.

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 24, 2016

‌That's not a good analogy Cleo Tango, the final output from most Adobe applications, such as a JPG, PDF or HTML is Adobe independant. Also you don't have to continuously subscribe to the Creative Suite, with the monthly plan you only need to pay for it when you need it. For professionals the monthly payment is a modest amount, and tax deductible!

Derek Cross · ‎Jan 20, 2016

Personally, I'm delighted with the Creative Cloud subscription model. For £45.73 a month (UK) I get access to all these amazing products, InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Muse, Edge, Premiere and lots more, plus regular updates and Typekit fonts that can be used licence free on print publications, websites and eBooks. For Photoshop users who don't want to subscribe there's the excellent Photoshop Elements 14 for around only £60.

‌Thank you for your interesting reply. Sorry to have upset you.
