Thanks for the reply, Unfortunately my colleague has already tried that and it didn't work.

Hi everyone, I use the following suffix on an html link in order to link to a specific page within a pdf file: #page=15 This works but I need to know go one step further and link to a specific bookmark within the pdf. I use the following suffix to try to do this: #bookmark name The above syntax doesn't work because the bookmarks all have spaces in their names. Apparently it's supposed to work if I remove the spaces from the bookmark names but this isn't practical because I'm generating the pdf out of Indesign and the bookmarks in the resulting pdf are just a reflection of the table of contents in Indesign. I can't remove the spaces from the TOC entries just so that there's no spaces in the bookmarks in the pdf. So I need some sort of workaround and wondered if anyone would have any suggestions. Is there some acrobat script or any other solution to this problem? Really appreciate any help.

Hi everyone, I've created a character style that uses a colored underline, is offset and has a very thick stroke weight. The result is an effect that I use to highlight parts of a document's text. The files I'm working on are located in a books panel and I need to create two types of pdf files. One with the highlight intact and the other with it removed. Up until now, I've had to open up each file within the books panel, then go into the highlight character style and turn the underline off and then make a pdf. Then I have to turn it back on again for the other pdf. I wondered if there was a script available that I could run, which would target the style within each of the files in the books panel and toggle the underline off or on? Appreciate any advice.

Thanks for the replies, Assigning .1 to the alpha property instead of using += has worked.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to lower the alpha transparency of a background using Actionscript 3. The following still seems too dark: background_mc.alpha += .01; Can anyone tell me how to get this to be even more transparent? I tried: background_mc.alpha += .001; But this didn't do anything. Appreciate any advice.

I don't have anything against the method - I was just wondering if there was a similar Word-like method but obviously not. I'll just use the methods described. Thanks everyone for the input.

If you draw a text box in Word and then type in some text, there's a button on the textbox toolbar called "change text direction". When you click it, the text goes from being positioned horizontally on the top of the text box to the right of the text box. So it's like the text itself is rotated 90 degrees within the text box. Don't think you can do this in Indesign can you?

Thanks for the reply, So there mustn't be a similar command like in Word, ie. in word you can rotate the paragraph within the text frame.

Hi everyone, I've typed some text into a text frame and now need to rotate the text 90 degrees. The text frame has round corners so I didn't want to create a separate text frame for the text and then rotate that. So is there a way to rotate the line of text within the one text frame, similar to how you'd do this in Microsoft Word? Appreciate any advice.

Thanks for the detailed reply, You know I just tried verifying and then repairing the permissions on my mac (10.5.8) and this seemed to have fixed the problem. Not sure why it helped though.

Hi everyone, I've just upgraded to Indesign CS5. I've also downloaded the patch so that it's version 7.03. When I try to export to pdf, I get an error that says: 1 problem was found with a background task: Failed to export an eps item on page A. I get the same error when I try to export any file at all. Anyone know why this is happening? It worked fine in CS4. Appreciate any advice.

Hi everyone, I have a gradient mesh and I used a single pantone color to shade it, ie. with different tints of the one colour. I want to see what it looks like in a different pantone color and wondered if there was a way to swap out the original color for a new one and keep the different percentages at the same time. Any advice much appreciated.

I actually have to have this done by next Monday so it may not leave enough time. I'll probably have to do the links manually this time around but it would be good to get a quote for the next book as it will probably have to be done on a regular basis. Do you have a website or can you quote?

Kasyan, I had a look at the link you provided but I noticed that the script on that site was for cross-referencing from text to images. I don't know much javascript so would probably need help in creating such a script, so I wondered if you'd be interested in doing this and if so how much it would cost?

Hi everyone, I have to create close to 500 cross references in a book I'm working on. The book is divided into chapters and I'm using the books panel to manage each chapter. As I need to link the text to headings in the document, I'm assuming that to do this manually is going to take hours of work since I'd need to select the source text, then scroll through hundreds of headings in the cross references panel in order to create the correct link. An example would be as follows: I'd link this: (see ¶15-110) to a heading called: ¶15-110 HEADING NAME I wondered if there was a way to automate this, ie. to somehow have a script that would search for the ¶ character and then look for some numbers following this character, and then link this number to a heading that begins with the same number. Does anyone know if this is possible or whether there's a script out there that does this? Not looking forward to doing this manually so any advice much appreciated. Thanks

The preloader has a brief animation at the end where it fades out to transparency and this is mostly what I'm seeing which isn't a good look when it happens more than once, ie. when you return to the page, so maybe I need a different type of preloader that doesn't have this ending animation. Can you suggest any on Adobe Exchange?

Thanks for the replies, When images are downloaded on web pages they're usually cached which is what I thought happened to flash files also. Isn't that the case?

Hi everyone, I purchased a preloader from Adobe Exchange for my flash animation. I've noticed though that even though it works, whenever I refresh the page that the swf file is on, or even navigate away and then come back to the same swf page, the preloader starts operating again as if the file was being downloaded for the first time. I thought that once a swf was downloaded it didn't need to be done again. The code from the preloader is as follows: onClipEvent(load){ //show text Loading this.text = true; //show reflection this.reflection = true; //show percents this.percents = true; //set color this.color = "0x003976"; //set gradient color for reflection this.bgColor = "0xffffff"; //set speed (1-9) this.speed = 6; //loop infinite, not loading this.infinite = false; //loaderTarget (if null self swf preload) this.contentTarget = null; //auto stop timeline _parent.stop(); } Could it have something to do with the fact that it's an onClipEvent? Appreciate any advice.

Sorry I should have explained better. I just have a controller file with a whole lot of php that queries a database and then includes a template file where a slideshow is being output with the contents of the database. So I haven't used any of DW's server behaviours. That said, I revised the code according to your suggestion and this eliminated the error, but just one thing. How can you tell if the behaviour is actually working. I mean I just tested and it doesn't seem as if the images are preloaded. You need to click on an image and then the larger version loads but this doesn't seem to be doing it very quickly so I kind of wondered if it was working.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to use the Preload images behaviour in DW CS4, but since my site is dynamic using php I'm not sure how to get it working. I started out by doing the following: I clicked on the body tag and then in the behaviours panel I chose Preload images. In the dialogue box that opened, I clicked the browse button next to image source file. Then in the next dialogue I chose the 'data sources' button so I could enter the path to the images: The following was what was in there to begin with: <?php echo((isset($_SERVER[""]))?$_SERVER[""]:"") ?> I deleted this and inserted the following: <?php echo'<img src="../../../images/catalogue/business/corporate/<?php echo $item['itemImage'] . \'.jpg\''; ?> When I clicked ok, this is what was in the body tag: <body onload="P7_TMopen(); MM_preloadImages('<?php echo'<img src="../../../images/catalogue/business/corporate/<?php echo $item['itemImage'] . \'.jpg\''; ?>')"> As you can see there are two unrelated onload behaviours in the body tag now. When I tested the page, I got the following error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/mysite/www/kc/business/catalogue/corporate/catalogue_business.php on line 68 Line 68 is the code in the body tag shown above. I wondered if anyone knows what might be happening here and/or how to solve this? Appreciate any assistance.

Okay so I found where I could check the profiles in Acrobat 9.
When I looked at what profiles were included in one particular file, it said
Device gray color space
ICCbased color space: ISONewspaper26v4
Indexed color space
When I clicked on the indexed color space and then the "Show in snap" button in order to find out which element was being tagged as indexed, I saw that it was a logo within the file. I checked out the logo and found out that it was actually a .psd file that was CMYK with transparency so I don't know why it's being tagged as index.
In another file, where I did the icc check in Acrobat I had the same result except the indexed element was a drop shadow that had been applied to an image in Illustrator.
This is all really confusing. Why are there so many different profiles when all I want is the Newspaper .icc.?
I also check a third file and the colour spaces were listed as follows:
ICCbased color space: ISONewspaper26v4
Separation color space: Black CMYK "ICC"
Alternate color space: ISONewspaper26v4
Again why are there two newspaper profiles in this file and what's the separation color space: Black CMYK "ICC"?

> You are saying that the mentioned workflow is no more valid for AcrobatPro 9 ? What's different ?
There must be some misunderstanding here: My workflow involved exporting the pdf from Indesign with the profile embedded. I'm trying to find where exactly in Acrobat 9 I can confirm that the profile is actually embedded. I didn't find anything in the document link you provided that gives this information - unless i'm missing something?
In Acrobat 9, I can go to the Advanced menu > print production > preflight - but I can't find anything in this complicated dialogue box that allows me to check for the existence of an embedded profile. I just thought that someone may be familiar with Acrobat 9 and may know where I can check this kind of thing.
> Yes, PDF/X-1a is ideal. Not a reason for confusion. It's absolutely correct to use the same profile for all conversions, but it's not necessary to embed it in each image.
You say it's not necessary to embed it in each image. I was reading back at your post #22 and you were saying:
> Also a good solution, after soft-proofing the RGB images by Photoshop: use RGB images, make a PDF and convert this globally into the destination space by Acrobat Professional.
So clearly from the above quote, if I was to use that workflow I not only shouldn't necessarily embed any CMYK profile in any of the images, in fact the images shouldn't be CMYK at all - they should be RGB according to your post #22. If I understand the theory correctly, if I was to use that workflow and have CMYK images, the numbers would all change when I converted to profile within Acrobat Pro, right?

I have Acrobat 9 - your document gives instructions for Acrobat 7 so I'm still not sure where to find out if the .icc profile is embedded.
> It might be better to export as PDF/X-1a, define newspaper.icc as Output Intent and embed the profile once. At least one should take care, that all the single CMYK images don't have embedded profiles.
I'm also confused as to why you're saying to ensure that all single CMYK images don't have embedded profiles. I thought this was what I was supposed to do, i.e embed the profile in photoshop as a first step.

Hi,
Sorry to come back to this discussion. I'm at the point now where I've finished all the design work and I'm ready to make the pdf in Indesign. I've followed your advice by converting to profile in Photoshop. I placed this image into Illustrator and did more work on the layout. I also set the working space in Illustrator to the newspaper .icc profile. After finishing work in Illustrator I placed the .eps into Indesign. In Indesign, I have the CMYK Working space set to the Newspaper .icc profile and I also converted to profile in indesign (not sure if I needed to convert to profile in Indesign if the working space is set to the newspaper .icc profile??).
So now I'm at the stage where I need to pdf the file. I export to pdf and in the "general settings" I choose "create tagged pdf" (not sure if this has anything to do with the profile). Then under output I choose "No colour conversion" and also "Include all profiles".
Can you tell me if I have these settings correct? If yes, whereabouts in Acrobat can I ensure that the newspaper .icc profile has actually been embedded. Is there a way to verify this?
