Hi Matthias, If you export a vector image to PNG, you will only get pixels. You are not exporting to PDF. Try upping the ppi to 600 or 1200 and see if you like it better. ... View more

Hi Matthias, What version of InDesign? What operating system version? Are you saying definitely that you are choosing/exporting a High Quality PDF file? Does this happen also when you export to jpg or png, where you also must set the ppi? If so, check the ppi setting. At default, it should be 300 ppi, as you state, but you should make sure. I would make sure the compression is not too aggressive. I prefer High or Max. If you need to, you could also open Acrobat Distiller and make sure those settings are there, too. And it wouldn't hurt to double-check about links being up-to-date. ... View more

The trouble with language translation becomes the volume of words. Volume of expression is brief in one language; lengthy in another. Try turning on in Textframe Options the ability to resize to the volume of text by allowing it to change, for example, the depth of the textframe. Turn this into an Object Style, too. This will self-automate translated language files. ... View more

William, the limited world of PDF tags is only for paragraph styles; not character styles. Try using the Articles panel to add in only the tagging you want. It will ignore the rest.

You need two styles to generate the body of the ToC. 20ThingsHeaders would be the style you are searching for, in order to gather a list. Once found, a second style would be 20ThingsHeadersToC. The second style dresses the text gathered by the first style in order for the list of chapters to look like a ToC. ... View more

Mark and Dave, Coming from a printing press background, I remember my astonishment at seeing PageMaker for the first time. But man, you couldn't depend on any of those early softwares, mac or IBMpc, until we got up to about 1990-91 and machines began to have dedicated hard drives. Many in the current Windows world don't know why it is called the C drive, because there used to be an A floppy drive and a B floppy drive. My memory is rough, but that is about also the time a PostScript driver became available on an early run-time Windows. Paralleling that, an internal hard drive on that early macintosh classic really opened up the large-scale takeover of digital desktop publishing in the print/publishing/design world, and soon thereafter, corporate marketing departments and federal agencies too. ...

By the way InDesign and InCopy are designed, the paragraph styles are made and edited in InDesign and applied to the text.

By going to Layout > Table of Contents > (be sure to click More Options) and make choices there. In this dialog box, you give InDesign the choice of what paragraph styles to look for and gather. Further, once that text is gathered, you also are making choices of how to dress up the resulting text thread with Table of Contents paragraph styles, so that it looks like a table of contents. Something many people forget to do is to Save a style (really a preset) so that the InDesign document can update its Table of Contents to look the same way as before: Text gathered and dressed with styles that lay the text out to look like a Table of Contents.    In summary, InDesign hunts and gathers based on styles; then dresses the result with other styles; then remembers all your choices in the process by saving a named style, which isn't a style but rather a preset.   https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/creating-table-contents.html ...

I'm not sure I'm understanding the matter, but I noticed that Body in your example document is a paragraph style defined as Paragraph Composer; yet, overridden to Single-Line Composer. When I type a single additional character, the whole rest of the text disappears, as if a bug.  But when would I validly do that? Override Paragraph Composer with Single Line Composer? I wouldn't do so, normally, would I?   But if I edit the paragraph style Body to use Single-Line Composer, it functions correctly.  If I again set it to Paragraph Composer, it has the disappearing problem. But if I set Keep Options to 2+2, the problem goes away again, for either Single-Line or Paragraph.   Interestingly, I notice the Heading and the Table Caption are set to Span; but the table styles are not set to span. (For the sake of my testing, I began with the Reset to Base button on Body Paragraph Style, and setup just a few essential attributes.)   Another test: I opened your sample document, selected the textframe, and copynpasted it into a new fresh document. When I tried backspacing the text in the same line you specified, all the rest of the text went into overset. But if I backspaced a second time, third time, fourth time, etc., the rest of the page went overset and did not come back from overset. That outcome was different from the off-with-one-backspace, on-again-with-the-second-backspace.   Not sure if my observations help the discussion! ... View more
