    InDesign Mystery

    Maybe try increasing the size of the pasteboard (margins). Just a guess, but they may have dragged things onto it, then reduced it later in the process to "hide" it all.

    Automation Engine 14 and Pitstop 12 (or now 13)?

    Using our previous version of Pitstop, we've put together several very useful action lists that worked quite well for us via the preflight with pitstop AE ticket.

    PPF file containing both sides of sheet for perfector?

    Keep away/Stay away

    Having InDesign Data Merge issues

    Not my usual forte, but I've done data merges using Word quite a bit over the years and a few times using Indd. Currently have a large business card order, Indd files, and an xlsx spreadsheet. Am I correct that out of the box Indd will only accept csv or tabbed text files for data merge? I can...

    InDesign help! step & repeat export problem

    I recently had a similar situation. A shopping bag compiled in InDD CS5, consisting of a dieline (AI CS5 eps) live text from InDD, and a background gingham pattern built in AI CS5. All looked fine in the indd file, but in the exported PDF, the background pattern moved up .375". I thought...
