Have you tried creating a new .ai file and importing it? I don’t think we can help you much unless you post one of the files.
MemberHold the phone – I am not sure how to make my version work.
Here’s someone with a similar issue (though I think theirs is on separate pages)
MemberIf I were to do this job, I would have 2 separate text frames, one for Latin and one for English. If you need to separate them out, you can do that through Find/Change or by Convert to Table/Convert to Text.
Good luck.
MemberSounds like those lines have Paragraph Rules applied. Type->Show Hidden Characters. Window->Paragraph->Paragraph Rules.
Uncheck Rule On (both Above and Below)
MemberHelen, it’s hard to say what’s going on, but you should try resetting your InDesign preferences or re-install. https://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990
Good Luck
neenersMemberWell, everyone’s world is different, eh?
I work at a print shop with hundreds of clients, and it’s crucial that they bring packaged InDesign files in. So, what happens is this: We get the InDesign file and some links, but others are missing, and the customer doesn’t know where they are. So, I have to tell them the path to find their files (which are hopefully still there), etc. Lots of time wasted.
While having your links in separate partitions and hard drives may work for you, the moment you move those files, your InDesign file is not going to know where it went, which involves wasting lots of time re-linking. Having all your elements in one folder is how InDesign works best, hence the Package function.
MemberCopy the EPS in Illustrator, paste into InDesign.
MemberI think you are playing with fire by storing on an external disk or separate volume. If you don’t want to copy the image multiple times, why not use a single folder on your hard drive, and use the external as backup?
Disk space is cheap; time is expensive.
Without knowing how large these original images are, I still have to say that Packaging is so convenient to have all elements together in one folder, and disk space is cheap, so Package and forgetaboutit.
MemberOh, I didn’t understand. This sounds way too complicated for a resume. Why not create everything, then use Align->Distribute Spacing?

Swatches->Add Unnamed Colors
Select all the Swatches->Swatch Options->Color Type: Process, Color Mode: CMYK
MemberYou are absolutely correct. (I have 10+ years offset printing experience.) The only thing that matters is the final output. If you’re printing process, use process colors. I recommend the Pantone Color Bridge swatch books. They have spot colors on the left, corresponding CMYK build on the right. If your client chooses a spot color such as Reflex Blue or 375 (bright green), they will be vastly disappointed, because these cannot be built using CMYK process. They’re special batches that Pantone created with reflective or white ink, etc.
MemberThe default crop marks are .21 long, so your offset should be .04 to get a PDF that is .25 bigger on each size.
That’s pretty close for most printers, but may work in your situation.
