Well, you can design the layout any way you want if you’re doing a single-record-per-page layout. If you are doing a multiple record merge, then it will take all the objects and put them in a grid.

I’m not sure why your Update is not working correctly. Perhaps it cannot find the links to the images? Or perhaps something “broke” the tags, so they’re not tagged to the data anymore. This should work okay normally, as I show in my Lynda.com/LinkedIn Learning course.

Hi Patti… this is controlled in the Strokes panel. While no objects are selected on the page you can set the stroke to Inside. That will set it as the default for new objects you create. Here’s more on that:

I wrote an article with Conrad Chavez in a recent InDesign Magazine about how to move layered InDesign files to Photoshop:
https://creativepro.com/issues/issue-107-photoshop-indesign
That (mac-only) script is one good way, but you can fake it manually by exporting each of the layers and combining them (hassle, but it works). Layered PDF won’t work because PS doesn’t read layered PDFs… just PSD files.

Yes, that is the expected result (for all versions of InDesign). Placing an INDD into an InDesign doc acts like a graphic.

But I’m reading the original post and I’m confused:

• First of all, Lulu does not require Single-sided pages, and if they do say that they are wrong. You should have created this with facing pages. My guess is that they don’t want the PDF to be created as spreads (meaning use Pages rather than Spreads when exporting to PDF).
• If the document is already in non-facing pages, then do you have a single master page with Left and Right pages, or do you have 2 master pages that are both single sided?
• The best way to handle this is probably just to apply a different master page to all your odd pages (or even pages). It will take about 5 or 10 minutes to go through 150 pages, but that’s faster than messing around with these other options

Perhaps they are set up with Creative Cloud for Teams? Does this help? https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2107090

Thank you, Michel! OK, I see my mistake. This script works if the layer is called “images” — of course, you can change that to any other layer name, but it must be changed in 2 places in the script.

var myLinks = app.activeDocument.links, L = myLinks.length;
while (L--) if (myLinks[L].parent.parent.parent.constructor.name != "Character" && myLinks[L].parent.parent.itemLayer.name != "images") myLinks[L].parent.parent.itemLayer = "images";


I understand that you have written a more robust script that can do much more, and does error checking (and that people can pay you for that version). But thank you for sharing this simple free version.
