David BlatnerKeymasterI had not heard of Bluebeam Revu before. Interesting! I did not realize it was so popular in the AEC space.
I wonder if this is something you can change in the Rendering preferences in their software?
Also, have you looked at exporting PDF/X-1a vs. PDF/X-4?

David BlatnerKeymasterYou mean some text is missing? Or literally parts of individual letters are missing?
David BlatnerKeymasterImporting HTML is not a strongpoint of InDesign. I hope Adobe will add this feature in the future.
In the meantime, Ariel at ID-extras came up with a test script: https://www.id-extras.com/html-import-script
David BlatnerKeymasterSorry for the trouble, Kristen. I have no idea why our forum was holding your reply for moderation. Weird. It usually doesn’t do that.

David BlatnerKeymasterNope. You can’t add any characters in a paragraph or object style, I think. Right?
Can you describe what is the effect you’re trying to achieve?
David BlatnerKeymasterHm… it probably isn’t an InDesign file, because InDesign 1.0 didn’t come out until 1999. Could it have been PageMaker? Or QuarkXPress?
Here’s something on opening PM files:

David BlatnerKeymasterWe need to find a way to do screenshots here… but in the meantime, you can upload on imgur.com or imgbb.com and post the url here.

David BlatnerKeymasterWow… you’re right! It is the shear… I also tried this with Inner Shadow, and as soon as I added shear (skew) the transparency stopped working in PDF export. Perhaps all the transparency effects are broken in that way? Might be a bug… I suggest reporting it as a bug at https://indesign.uservoice.com
In the meantime, one possible solution would be to export the image without a shear as a PDF, then place it back into InDesign and then apply the shear. That seems to work.
David BlatnerKeymasterEllen: It’s possible (tho unlikely) that a character style is being applied without you knowing it. But do me a favor and put the text cursor inside a paragraph that has your paragraph style applied to it (but which is showing the wrong font) and then: First, look in the paragraph styles panel and see if there is a + symbol next to the style name. If there is, click the “remove overrides” button (the one with a paragraph symbol with a line through it, at the bottom of the panel). Second, if that doesn’t help, then open the character styles panel and just see if it is set to anything other than None. If it is None, or if nothing is selected, then look at the bottom of the styles panel and see if any character style shows up in little text next to the folder icon. If you see any style name there, it means it’s being applied through some automatic formatting (such as nested styles or grep styles or line styles).
David BlatnerKeymasterI don’t think InDesign’s endnotes features has a “range” feature. Maybe it can’t deal with that.
David BlatnerKeymasterThere’s certainly no way to make this kind of TOC automatically. You’d probably have to make a regular TOC with sections, and then use find/change to remove the page numbers and carriage returns in the subhead and example sections.

David BlatnerKeymasterAlso, are you viewing the exported PDF (I assume you are exporting to pdf?) in Acrobat, or some other PDF viewing program?
