The tips are provided in PDF documents: they could much more easily have been in HTML. Dowloading a PDF to read a couple of paragraphs is a waste of bandwidth. Also, the how-to-view-in-your-browser links are to stale-dated Adobe pages: the Mac/Explorer page is OS 9 only, and the Mac/Netscape page is OS 9 only and only covers up to Navigator v4. In my opinion this page serves solely to promote Acrobat and does so quite badly. Unless Adobe are equity investors in creativepro, I would strongly suggest you ask them to rewrite this page in HTML, or at the very least update their info pages on their website.
Check the URLs, there is some duplicate code in the links.
The tip to replace color stops in a gradient swatch is to select a color stop, then hold down the Option/Alt key when clicking a new color in the Swatches panel.

Better eps preview — 2 questions… 1. Is this better or different than right-clicking image andchoosing “Display performanceHigh-quality Display”?2. Why would you use an eps rather than an .ai file??
Bret, this was actually written back in 2003, when EPS files were much more common and InDesign not as powerful. Today, using AI files and using the high quality display is far better. More on that topic here: https://indesignsecrets.com/tiff-vs-psd-vs-eps-vs-pdf-vs.php
