    This seems to be a bug that was introduced in the latest CC 2015.4 release. Someone complained on the site already: https://creativepro.com/topic/indesign-cc-2015-4-form-issue

    I’m afraid you’ll have to use regular radio buttons.

    2. You can make a custom master page just for the cover, designing the the entire cover on that master spread, and then just assign the right side of the master to the first page, and the left side to the last page.

    2. I believe this is the best workflow. Why go through the hassle of moving pages, turning on the ‘do not shuffle’ option, and inviting mistakes when you can leave everything as is and the printer does the work for you.

    3. You can make a tri-fold with guides and columns but since InDesign added support for multi-sized pages it’s a shame not to use it. As I said, what if you decide that the center-panel has to be an inch wider, but the right or left panel should stay the same as before. That would be a lot of work with guides. But with multi-sized pages it’s a breeze. I don’t create so much tri-folds so I don’t have a ‘standard procedure’.

    If the original document had page breaks then this would not be an issue.

    If it doesn’t then a script or GREP Find/Search might do. But I wouldn’t be able to write anything without knowing the structure of the document.

    I haven’t looked at the templates, but I’m going to try to guess the answers.

    1. It’s probably a template for a digital book in which facing pages does not make sense.

    2. Do not totally understand your question.

    3. Do you have a better way to do it? What if you decide that the center panel has to be an inch wider?…

    I don’t have the answer that you need, but I do have to comments to make.

    First, I’m not sure using multi-state objects is a good idea, due to support issues. You don’t know in what PDF reader your user will view the PDF, especially on mobile phones, and some PDF readers can strip out the all bells and whistles from the PDF rendering your ‘menu’ useless.

    Secondly, I don’t think Adobe XD is a solution to this. As far as I know, XD is nothing more than an app wireframing tool.

    It seems like what you need is a webpage optimized for mobile, or a mobile app (that might not get accepted in the Apple App Store because to the people at Apple this might not be considered an ‘app’).

    This can definitely be scripted. I’m afraid I don’t have the time now, but maybe one of the fine scripters on this site can write something for you (“Peter, Kai, Jongware, can you hear me?…”).

    But this is only another indication on why you should always use styles. If you would have used consistent styles throughout the book then changing the broken font would’ve been a breeze. You just update the paragraph style with the broken font in one document, sync all the documents’ styles to this document, and everything would be fixed instantly.

    But I believe it’s not your fault anyway, because if any fonts are missing then it makes sense to think that someone else created the document and not you…

    There are two steps to a variable: 1. It has to be declared before it’s used anywhere. 2. Then you assign any value to it.

    But this can be done in various ways. When you know initially what value the variable is going to hold, then you can assign the value while it’s declared, as such: var allDocs = app.documents;.

    But what if you don’t know yet what value it’s going to hold initially, then you just declare it without any assignment, as such: var myPage;, and then when you’re ready to assign anything to it, you do without declaring it again (because once a variable is declared it doesn’t have to be declared again), as such: myPage = myPages[j];.

    If you want to be able to write serious scripts then you need to have a basic understanding of the language. I would advise you to read the book Head First JavaScript. It’s an excellent book for absolute beginners.

    Skemicle, you can use a separate loop for that, but it has to be nested in the outer document loop, and the variables has to be different.

    To export individual pages is a bit more involved. So here it is:

    var myFilePath;
    var myFile;
    var allDocs = app.documents;
    var myDoc;
    var myPages;
    var myPage;
    var myPageNum;
    
    app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.high;
    app.jpegExportPreferences.exportResolution = 200;
    app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.EXPORT_RANGE;
    
    for (var i = 0; i < allDocs.length; i++) {
      myDoc = allDocs[i];
      myPages = myDoc.pages;
      for (var j = 0; j < myPages.length; j++) {
          myPage = myPages[j];
          myPageNum = myPage.name;
          var myFilePath = "/Users/kcote/Desktop/TEST update/JPG/" + myDoc.name.replace(/indd$/, "") + " page " + myPageNum + ".jpg";
          var myFile = new File(myFilePath);
          app.jpegExportPreferences.pageString = myPageNum;
          myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.jpg, myFile, false);
          } 
      }

    You provided a link to your Google Drive account in general, in this case it’s just a generic link that when clicked just takes me to my own Google Drive account…

    To provide a link to that specific document, do the following:

    In your Google Drive select the uploaded document that you want to share. On the top-right of the screen you’ll see a Link icon. Press it and up comes a pop-up. Make sure the switch is set to Link Sharing On, and then copy the link that is provided at the bottom of the pop-up and paste it here.
