Is there a way to use end notes in a project that is organized as an InDesign Book File? I've seen comments from a few years ago saying this feature/capability is missing. Has anything changed?   Update: by "Endnotes", I mean all the references in the back of the book, not at the end of the chapter, and not at the bottom of the page.  ... View more

CC on a Mac.   I'm working with a large InDesign file, set up as a Book File, for print production. There will be around 250 images: some vectors, some photos.   Is it important to keep each image in its own file? Is there anything wrong with putting all the images for one chapter onto individual artboards of the correct size in Illustrator? I prefer to do this so that I can look at all the figures in a "gallery".  But someone looking at my project has told me I'm doing it wrong... ... View more

CC on a Mac.   I have 100+ page document in InDesign. I'm illustrating it by creating the artwork in Illustrator and placing the artboards into InDesign. As of about an hour ago I am unable to place or update or relink to one particular Illustrator file. Whatever I try, I get an InDesign error saying "Unable to open PDF file". I've trashed my preferences, rebooted, and even made a copy of the Illustrator file and tried to relink to it. Same error message. I am able to open and work with the Illustrator file in Illustrator; I am able to work normally with other Illustrator files from within this InDesign document.    PS: I created a new InDesign document; it, too, refuses to work with this particular Illustrator file and its copy. ...

I want to make a color picker style color wheel, somewhat like this, but with my own color selection:     Is there a way to do this by creating a segmented circle and then blending the colors of the segments together somehow? I want grayer colors in the center, so in fact I would have multiple segment circles of different diameters stacked on top of each other. After their interiors are blended, I would then need to blend them together radially.   Or am I going about this all wrong: should I be using lines that are gray near the center and progressively more colorful on the ends and then have Illustrator blend the space between them? ...

Cat walked across the keyboard and now I can't see my guides. As you can see from this screenshot, my document and baseline grids are unhidden, but they aren't showing.  Clicking them on/off makes no difference; I closed InDesign and reopened it and that did not change anything, either. ...

I have a document with many different sizes of image. I want to apply the same stroked frame to each one, and the same text wrap. And I want InDesign to preserve the original dimensions of the placed image. Can I do this with one object style, or do I have to make a different style for each size? ... View more

I hope this screenshot captures everything. I have a single layer in my document, and I'm attempting to edit the A Master page, from Layout>Margins and Columns. The number of columns is greyed out. I can change the gutter, but not the number of columns. Can you help me understand what is going on?   ... View more

I was font shopping yesterday and this caught my eye:       I don't know if I like the fuzzy black shadow in the upper half, but I definitely like the sharp white outline on the bottom half. Any thoughts on how to do this? I posted the question in InDesign but got no answers, so perhaps it needs to be styled in Illustrator and then exported? ... View more
