I would use the direct select tool to select the right edge of each text frame and use cursor keys to move the edge to the left, make the text frame narrower. Each press of a cursor key moved the frame on unit, as defines in Preferences > Units & Increments. Shift + cursor keys moves ten units, Command or Control + cursor key moves one tenth of a unit. Keep going until you find the narrowest working size. Finally use the Alignment panel to align the frame to the page. Repeat for each page. It’s time consuming, but short of scripting it is the easiest solution I can think of. ... View more

I just tried it out on a new document and it works fine for me, so maybe your document has glitched. Try exporting to IDML and opening that. I see you have a lot of styles. Is it possible you are applying a different style to the fourth paragraph at that level? Also, try right-clicking on the paragraph and see if Continue Numbering is in the contextual menu. If it is, the paragraph is not currently using the next number (or letter in this case). Edit: Check the Level attribute for your styles. The A, B, C paragraphs need to be Level 1, or at least a higher level than the numbered paragraphs. ... View more

MarieMeyer  wrote Thanks. This is a catalog and there are hundreds of them, so I really want to use JPEGS to keep the size of the ID file to a manageable level. The InDesign file size will not be affected by the format of the placed images. Any image placed, InDesign will generate a low resolution (72 ppi) JPEG for viewing. This image is embedded in the InDEsign file and is what you will see for Typical Display. ... View more

I forgot about that. I think that was added few versions ago. Yes, you can place images in locked frame if you turn off “Prevent Selection of Locked Objects” in Edit > Preferences > General. ... View more

No, a locked item cannot be edited or moved. A locked frame cannot accept new content. The frames much be unlocked to accept content. You may be trying too hard to dumb down the document. I have set up templates for other users many times, most of whom I expect to have less experience than I do. Rather than locking everything, I use layers to separate the different items and lock layers that don’t need editing or put items on Master Pages so they cannot be edited. ... View more

Does it only matter what page number is marked on the page? Or do you need the internal page numbering data to use these numbers as well? If the former, then set up using facing pages and just add an A to the beginning of the page number on the left hand page and a Q to the beginning of the page number on the right hand page. ...

Piece of cake. I am assuming the numbering is not automatic, but if it is the style can be easily adjusted. The only change to the copy you need to do is use a forced line break (Shift + Return) instead of a carriage return after the price. ... View more

Try using a Live Paint group. Draw the paths, then select them and go to Object > Live Paint > Make. Use the bucket tool to fill separate areas and stroke different line segments. All strokes are separated wherever they cross. It’s called Live Paint for a reason. You can move, rotate, and scale individual paths and, so long as the overlaps don’t change too much, the fills and strokes update. You can even add paths to the group. In the example below I have five ovals. Some parts have no strokes and fills. I can edit the paths, change the strokes and fill colours, and even add gradients. There are limitations, for example you can’t apply effects or graphic styles to individual areas. ... View more

You could try using Rot 13 on the text. Copy the text then paste it into the form here. Copy and paste the result. This will step all letters by 13 places in the alphabet, wrapping. So A becomes N, B becomes O, C becomes P, and so on. Punctuation in unaffected. I updated a new design layout with approved formatted text from a previous layout. I chose to use the approved text because I know how long the length of each head and each paragraph are. I want the client to focus on the new design and not on the content, so I want to change the text to placeholder text temporarily. I did not want to create two layouts; one with place holder text and one with approved text. Kind of like changing the text to another language.

Use a custom flattening preset that outlines fonts and export as Acrobat 4 (Edit > Transparency Flattener Presets). You can select the flattener preset in the Advanced tab of the PDF Export dialogue. Text in the PDF will be converted to outlines. Now you can open the PDF in Illustrator, clean it up, and send as an Illustrator file. The best way to clean it up would be to make a new file in Illustrator with the same dimensions, then use the Group Select tool to copy groups one at a time and paste them in place in the new document. ...

https://forums.adobe.com/people/Derek+Cross  wrote A plotter! Try to print on say an inkjet printer. The common term for a large format inkjet printer is a plotter. We are a long way from those pen driven vector devices of the ’80s. To OP: Can you be more descriptive? What do you mean by the gradients don’t print? Do they appear in the PDF but not on paper? Do they print as a solid, as nothing at all, or something else? And, just so I know we’re clear, is this a large format inject printer? Can it print gradients from other sources, like raster images or directly from InDesign? Some visuals would help, like a screen capture of the InDesign file or the PDF and a photo or scan of the output. What are your PDF export options? ... View more

First: You should be placing your images as links. Don’t embed and don’t copy and paste. Second: Linked images will not lose resolution, but… Third: When an image is placed as a link a low-resolution preview is generated and embedded in the Indesign file. This preview is a rendering of the image at actual size, but at 72 pixels per inch. If the source image has a lower resolution that 72 ppi then that resolution is used. For example, say you have an image that is 600 × 600 pixels with a resolution of 300 pixels per inch. Importing this image at 100% will give you a 2 inch × 2 inch image that will print at 300 pixels per inch. InDesign will generate a preview that is 144 pixels × 144 pixels. When you are using quick view this is what InDesign will show you. When you zoom in you won’t see the full resolution of the image. If that same image was 72 pixels per inch (but the same 600 × 600 pixels) and it was placed at 100% it would appear to be 8.33 inches × 8.33 inches. InDesign will generate a preview that is 600 pixels × 600 pixels. If you scale it to 24% you will get the same image as above, except zooming in will show you a higher resolution preview because a higher resolution preview is embedded in the InDesign file. This will also make your Indesign file larger since the preview is 317% larger. If you have a lot of images like this this will add up. Images downloaded from a website, stock images, and images imported from a camera often have their resolution set to 72 ppi. Some have no resolution data, since it is not a requirement for many image formats. In that case InDesign and most other programs will assume the image is 72 pixels per inch. This is why it is a good idea to prepare images at an appropriate resolution any place them at the size they need to be, rather than scaling down images that are a lower resolution. In Phoshop set the image resolution to 300 ppi in Image > Image Size (turn off resampling). ... View more

Three methods, from most ideal to least (depending on what you are doing). You can use a Master Page, as you mentioned. InDesign files support multiple master pages, so you can reserve on for just this use. Save the page as a separate document then import it as many times as you like. You can link to another InDesign documents just like graphics, but the important word is “another”. You can’t link to a page in the same document. If the change is only to a bit of text you can use text variables. Update the variable to update all uses of it in your document. ... View more

Is there a way to do it without double returns? Yes, you can use a single return between paragraphs. In fact, there should be no reason to use more than one return between paragraphs. If you want extra space use Space Before or Space After in the Paragraph panel. ... View more

Your questions and answers are using inconsistent leading. Without the grid you will never get the baselines to align. With the grid the space between paragraphs will change as needed to honour the grid, which will override your desired spacing. The solution is to use the same leading for questions and answers. Set your paragraph spacing to be one line of lead or one half line of lead. If one half line, then either forget the baseline grid (since you won’t need it) or set the grid to be half a line of lead. ... View more
