    Kerrie, it will be very difficult to get this to work on an iPad. In fact, most PDF readers on tablets do not support buttons and several other important interactive elements. Frustrating!

    Dropdown menus are tricky, but can be managed with some work by showing/hiding a series of buttons.

    They look very similar to me… I guess the rate at which it goes from blue to white is slightly different. Probably totally different algorithms. You can probably make InDesign’s look more like Photoshop’s by adjusting the midpoint slider (the little diamond on the gradient ramp in the gradient panel)

    You can post images by uploading to a site such as imgbb.com and then posting the URL here.

    Can you do what you want with x-refs instead of index entries?
    Have you looked at the IndexMatic script from indiscripts.com?

    You could do a grep search for ^.+$ and set it to search for bold formatting. That would find paragraphs in which ALL the text in the paragraph is bold.

    I would hire someone from Amazon Mechanical Turk to sit and watch for them. ;-)

    Well maybe I could start with [:;]-?[)(] to get the emoticons I mentioned above, plus :-(
    But… I don’t know if it possible to get all of these:

    Thanks Michel! :-)

    OK, here’s a harder challenge for you (just for fun): GREP for catching all “emoticons” such as :-) and ;-) and :) and… hm… there are many of them! My favorite is from a Japanese friend of mine who used to use: °J° or *J*

    You want to see 10 spreads from 10 different InDesign documents? Tricky…

    One way could be to place those spreads into another InDesign document. (You can place an INDD file into another INDD file, just like a PDF file. It acts like a graphic.) So you could put all 10 spreads on 10 spreads of a new document.

    You cannot edit the pages, but you can option/alt-double-click on one and it will open the original document (same as Edit > Edit Original), where you can make edits, then save, and close and the “composite” document would update.

    Not sure why that would have started with CC 2018… that’s odd. Have you checked your preflight profile? Are you using a custom preflight profile that checks for transparency?

    I think you need to put each part in parentheses… for example, (\d\d-\d\d) (.+)
    Then $2 will refer to the 2nd part, and $1 refers to the first part.

    Command-Option-3 is not “show selection” — it’s “Object > Show All On Spread”
    I don’t think this has changed in InDesign. But perhaps you’re using a lot more hidden objects now?

    Sounds like an encoding problem. See if you can encode it differently when you do the save as from the spreadsheet app. Can you use UTF-8?

    (My guess is that those are curly quotes in the spreadsheet and may need to be converted to straight quotes first?)
