As @leo.r said, PDF/X-1A will give you the format they want, as far as flattened transparency, but it cannot help your low resolution images (and in all probability there is no way to increase the resolution to make them look any better other than re-scanning an original print). CMYK color spaces are smaller than RGB which is why it is generally best to leave images as RGB up until the time of printing (PDF/X-1A does that conversion along with the flattening), but once you have made the conversion there is now way to go back to the original RGB -- any colors lost are lost. Further conversion from one CMYK profile to another can result in more losses and color shifts, and conversion to an incorrect profile for the output device, or the removal of profile tagging in the PDF (again a feature of PDF/X-1A) also can cause color shifts. I like to explain CMYK profiles as being like regional language dialects. depending on where you are, the same words identically spelled can be pronounced very differently, and to get the same pronunciation you need to alter the spelling. Unfortunately you are far down the road of no return here and using a printer who will make no attempt to do color matching, and your best bet probably really is the PDF/X-1A standard. As for which CMYK space is best, you can only guess and my suggestion is to use one of the most commonly used standards in the country where the printing will be done. In the US that would be SWOP, in Europe I believe one of the FOGRA profiles is preferred, but I don't know which one. ... View more

@rob day Interesting explanation/use case. Can't say it's something I would encounter often. ... View more

Perhaps I don't get what you're doing here, but I don't think you need a primary frame at all. An ordinary text frame on the left Parent page will thread to the next left page automatically when you auto-flow text. I have to say I have never really understood the attraction or usefullness of primary text frames. ... View more

Most up-to-date printers can handle PDF/X-4, but not all online printers will accept that standard. X/4 files leave transparency live and colors unchanged, but tagged with their color profiles, leaving it up to the printer to convert the colors for their press conditons and to flatten the transparency, as ideally it should be. When using PDF/X-4 it is generally considered best practice to leave your images in the original RGB color and convert at the printer to the correct device-specific CMYK profile. I'm prepping a file now for a client that is using a vendor who is specifying that the file be submitted as CMYK. When I check with the vendor, they are unable or unwilling to provice any guidance as to the corect CMYK profile, which is not uncommon with online printers who want to put the blame for any problems on you instead of themselves. In cases like this I tell the client that we casnnot guarantee perfect color matching for their identity colors, nor for photos, though that's generally less of an issue. This is a very common situation with magazine ads and such, but is very annoying for one-off kinds of projects like this one. Your printers that you've mentioned should all have SOME sort of file prep info page and you need to look at it for the format specifications. In my experience, calling the help line connects you to someone in sales who knows absolutlely nothing about printing, and who will refuse to connect you with anyone who does. ... View more

When books are printed the pages are arranged on larger sheets of paper by the printer, those sheets are then folded and cut, and assembled into the finished book. Depending on the equipment and the size of the book the number of pages on each sheet can be anything, and only the printer is is a position to know. Any easy way to understand this is to sepaprate the sheets in a newspaper. The only place where the two pages printed next to each other are in numerical order, or reader's spreads, the the very center. If your file that you send to the printer has pages grouped togehter, the printer cannotmove them as required. Yoou don't need to "start over," just make sure you do not check the box for spreads in the export dialog. Your file that you submit should contain all the pages as individual pages. In most cases the cover and body of the book will be two different files.   ... View more

That kind of thing can be caused by something weird in the overset text itself, like mis-applied No Break. It's often easier to diagnoes that by opeing the story in Story Editor view and taking a look at the first bit of overset. This could conceivably also be a case of either corrupt prefs (see Reset InDesign Preferences and Other Troubleshooting ) or a damaged file, which exporting to .idml, opening that and saving as a new .indd might cure.   ...

N-up with Data Merge is tricky... With multiple linked frames on the page you will get the same data in each frame. To get multiple records on the page you must have only one placholder, in the upper left position, and you have two choices for flow -- across then down, or down then across, but no right-to-left/left-to-right option. If the only data that's changing is the names, then I would say that you could probably set up as @Mike Witherell is describing, but use linked text frames, and simply save the names as a text file, one name per line. Place the text file using a paragraph style with the Keep Option to start paragraph in next frame. ... View more
