If every page has one and only one text frame and you want that frame on each page to have the same dimentions and posiiton, then: Create an Object Style to define the position and size of the frame, Use Find/Change to apply the Object Style to all text frames. You can then adjust any unwanted frames affected, like titles and page number on the Parent page.   Here I created an Object Style that only defines the size and position for a frame…   Then I used Find Change to search for any text frame with one column 9that way in can only affect text frames) and apply the “Primary text frame” Object Style.…   Good luck ...

I usually save all my Photoshop files in either TIF or PSD or PDF formats. TIF is for any image with no transparency (The layers panel shows only the Background layer). PSD is for images with trasparency or layers. PDF is for images that have vectors that I want to preserve. There's no practical difference between most formats, but by saving flattened images as TIF I know what images have transparency and might need extra attention. ... View more

If I am printing process colours i will define all my swatches in CMYK as process colours.

You can look up the RGB or CMYK equivalents of PANTONE solid colours and use them to define a swatch. Since this is a spot (solid) colour it won’t matter if your colour definition is different from the one PANTONE provides.   If you have older versions of InDesign or Illustrator they will include PANTONE swatches. I keep Illustrator 2022 around. The files are in the application folder Adobe Illustrator 2022/Presets.localized/en_GB/Swatches/Color Books.  ... View more

If I am working on a long document with full justification I usully make at least one Tight variant and at least one Loose variant of my body copy styles. This is primarily to allow me to add or remove a line as needed for length or appearance.   Full justification works by taking the space that would appear at the end of the line (if using left justified text) and distributing it evenly across the line. This can be dome by adding all the extra space between each word, by adding all the extra space between each character, or by streching the characters using horizontal scaling, or some combination of the three.   Remember there are three attributes you can play with. It looks like you are unhappy with lots of word spacing, so try making the maximum word spacing lower and adding more character spacing. You can also add horizontal scaling. 1% up or down will not be noticeable and it adds one more way to adjust spacing.   In the top image I used InDesign’s default spacing, which only allows for changes to word spacing. In the bottom image I reduced the range for word spacing and added a bit for character spacing and horizontal justification. As it turns out each line breaks in the same place, but the way the space is distributed is different. ... View more

In my experience things don’t just change in an InDesign document. Something changes because something else was changed which propagated to the unexpected alteration. So, how were the titles made italic? Did you apply a character style for italics or select the text then make it italic? If you made it italic, how did you do that? Did you press Comman-Shift-I or Control-Shift-I or did you select the Italic flavour of your font from the Character or Propertiesd panel?   Then, what did you change? For example, did you change the main font for the text? This could be it. Some fonts have a default italic and some don’t. So if you used a font with a default italic (that is, the font definition for Normal contains data defining which different font to use for italics) then changed the font family you may have switched to one that has no  default italic, or a weight that has no default italic (e.g. Family Normal might have a default italic which is Family Italic, but Family Book does not). You might also have deactivated one or more fonts the file uses or be opening the file on a system that does not have the font installed.   My suggestion for the proper workflow… Use Paragraph Styles extensively. Even if there is a style you use only once, like the title use a Paragraph Style. This allows you to make some formatting, like leading or spacing, consistent as one style can be based on another style. Use a Character Style for the italics. Character Styles are different from Paragraph Styles in that only the changes you make are remembered. A Character Style can include only colour or only a font change. Applying the Character Style to text that already has a Paragraph Style will keep the link to any attribute not defined by the Character Style. In this case, select both the font family and the style. See the example below. I created a Paragraph Style called “Body copy” which uses the font Minion Pro Regular. The highlighted word uses the Character Style “italic” which changes only the font to Minion Pro Italic. If I later change Body Copy to use Garamond the italic will remain in Minion Pro because the family is part of the style’s definition. I prefer this, despite the added complexity and steps required because I cannot always predict how a font change will affect CHaracter Styles. Some fonts have an italic while others have an oblique. If I change the family to one that names its italics oblique the style will break.     ... View more

If you need transparency (as for a background around an icon), you have to use PNG or PSD. You can also use TIFF but that's an increasingly obsolete format and can be very bulky in size. By @James Gifford—NitroPress I disagree. TIFF files can be more compact than PSDs if you use LZW or ZIP compression. They also support higher bit depth, clipping paths, and transparency. The files are not as compact as JPEG but are lossless.   My workflow is to use TIFF for any file that doesn’t use transparency or contain layers. If I only ass a clipping path that doesn’t count as transparency and I use TIFF. PSD is used when I add layers (most editing uses layers) or use transparency other than clipping paths. If I have type or vector layers I usually use PDF to preserve paths. This way when I preflight I can see where transparency is used just by the file type. ... View more

You might have to expand the Stroke panel to see this but you can position a stroke to be on the outside of a path. You can also use the Offset Path command (there are two) to expand the stroke by half its width.   If you do this in the Effect menu the offset is an editable effect and the path shape does not change, only its appearance does. If you use Object > Path > Offset Path the path shape will change. This will make a duplicate of the original path. ... View more

I would replace the returns in each list item with line breaks then use Nested Styles or Line Styles to make the first line bold.    Use Find/Change to make each two paragraph breaks (^p^p) into something you aren’t using anywhere, like three square brackets. Then change every paragraph break (^p) into a line break (^n). Finally change the string you used earlier into one paragraph break.   Make your formatting so the first line is bold and add a space before of one line. This will prevent a blank line from starting a page or column. Maybe make the Keep Options so the paragraph doesn’t break. ... View more

Even if the graphic imported without the white bars you would have a problem. Drop shadows usually use the Multiply opacity mode, which will always add ink (or subtract light) from the background image. But Illustrator PDFs only have one opacity mode. The drop shadow will import using Normal opacity, jsut like everything else.   The solution is to either produce the drop shadow in InDesign or put the drop shadow on its own layer and use Layer Options in InDesign to place two versions of the graphic then set the drop shadow version to Multiply. ...
