Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberI’ve worked with ID files of up to 1500 pages without incident, but those were basically all text.
Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberLargest page size in ID is 216 inches square.

February 13, 2023 at 9:14 am in reply to: widening the text frames so they match changed margins #14386215Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberUse the Adjust Layout feature to make text frames resize/move to match what you’re doing with margins.
Ideally, if you’re doing this document-wide, you’d select the parent/pages, then in Layout > Margins and Columns, enter your new measures, and turn on Adjust Layout before you click OK.
If you’ve already changed Margins and Columns, you can use File > Adjust Layout, and enter the new margin measures there. (Don’t adjust page sizes.)
January 20, 2023 at 2:18 pm in reply to: How to automatically add horizontal line between images #14385434Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberHiya Jeff,
I haven’t been able to find a script, sorry. And you’re right, you won’t find an option in Object Styles because there’s no “Rule Above/Below” option for objects as there is for text.
I was fooling around with this, and I think I’ve hit on a way you can quickly accomplish this with a little bit of prep work.
You can create a text frame the height of the area where you want the top-most and bottom-most images to go, and a rough width. Then drag out an empty image frame and cut/paste it into the text frame so it’s anchored. Add a return after it, then paste the same empty frame inside, add a return, etc. Let’s say you have 4 image frames. Then create a style for the empty returns with a Rule Above or Below with the offsets you want so it appears in between the images, and apply that to the empty paragraphs.
Now you can File > Place, select the images you want for that column, and click inside each to place them. As you adjust their heights the rule will move up/down accordingly. The rule cannot be adjust to fit different widths though … it’ll be the width of the column holding the anchored images, plus/minus any horizontal offsets.
Would that work? I took a couple screen shots of my test, one in Normal mode and one in Preview.

January 20, 2023 at 8:56 am in reply to: How to automatically add horizontal line between images #14385398Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberIs there any text — title, caption, or similar — above or below the images?
January 20, 2023 at 8:32 am in reply to: How to automatically add horizontal line between images #14385395Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberBetween the images, but not under them? I’m trying to imagine what you’re trying to do.
I’m guessing you mean a single horizontal line from margin to margin beneath each row of images? Or something else.

Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberYes I was going to suggest looking at the based-on state as well.
December 16, 2022 at 9:11 am in reply to: How to make links to another file within a Book… #14377931Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberHow will you be publishing (or packaging) this book, in the end? As 19 separate PDFs? Or as one PDF with 19 chapters?
In the meantime, during production, you’d just use the Book panel to quickly locate/open the INDD files.

December 3, 2022 at 7:28 am in reply to: Packaging strips EXIF and IPTC Location info from “Link” files #14375811Anne-Marie ConcepcionMemberWell I see three variables here, diff. than what David/I are doing and you, Jeff.
Trying to narrow it down.
1) You’re using Ventura, I’m not, I’m on Monterey … David which OS? I can’t see how the MacOS would affect what happens with Packaging from ID, but possibly?
2) You’re using ID 2022 (and assumably Bridge 2022), I”m using 2023 of both and I’m guessing David too. Jeff, possible to try w/2023?
3) You’re using a script, is that right, to check for metadata? You said “I always check with something non-Adobe.”I didn’t change the first two variables to match, but I did upload the packaged image to https://exif.tools/ and all the data was there.
Do you want to try to link to one of your before packaging/after packaging images so we could download and test?
Here’s the one I used: https://www.dropbox.com/s/95k6yvvcjo1018r/Fresholivesinabowl.tif.zip?dl=0
