David BlatnerKeymasterKen, sorry, I had to edit your post because our forum did not like your Facebook link.
If it is a PDF or an AI file, then it should be sharp when you print. In InDesign choose View > Display Performance > High Quality Display. Does that help? Also, try exporting to PDF and open the PDF in Acrobat.
David BlatnerKeymasterPublish Online is the best way to do this, but of course that is a CC-only feature. You could use the in5 plug-in from ajarproductions to export HTML. The maker of that plug-in (Justin Putney) also has a title on Lynda.com about prototyping apps and sites with InDesign.
David BlatnerKeymasterPauline, I just want to confirm: Are you actually trying to print this document? Or are you making an InDesign document that is designed mostly for on-screen viewing? If you are making an on-screen document (such as an epub or interactive pdf), then you can go ahead and make these colors as RGB colors. You will probably also want to change Edit > Transparency Blend Mode to RGB mode.
It is only when printing on a CMYK printer that these colors may be a problem.
David BlatnerKeymasterInDesign’s bookmarks, table of contents, and links are already live when you export as PDF. (As long as you turn on Hyperlinks & Bookmarks in the Export PDF dialog box.)
Not sure what you mean by system requirements or text highlights.
David BlatnerKeymasterMy guess is that in the General pane of your Preferences dialog box, you have the “When Scaling” option set to “Adjust Scaling Percentage”
When you choose the frame with the Selection tool, do the Percentage settings in the Control panel show 100%? Or larger?
David BlatnerKeymasterElena: Thanks for your note, but this is an InDesign forum. It doesn’t appear that your solution is based on InDesign or InDesign Server. (But if I’m wrong, please correct me!)
David BlatnerKeymasterDunya and Nick and everyone: Yes, I did write some articles about this… and I also recorded some videos at Lynda.com/LinkedIn Learning… here are the videos:
Here’s how to make a great PDF file:

David BlatnerKeymasterWithout hyphenation, it’s very hard to justify text well. Perhaps you should use left-aligned paragraphs instead?
If you want to tweak the spacing, see this post:

David BlatnerKeymasterYou might also try changing the Story Editor font (in Preferences > Story Editor) to something that has a character set that includes more characters — something designed for the languages you’re working in. (I’m not sure if that’s Greek or Ancient Greek or…)
David BlatnerKeymasterWhich address book do you mean? I’m not sure how this relates to InDesign.
David BlatnerKeymasterIs it in a particular font, which is different than the characters on either side of it?
David BlatnerKeymasterI have never seen a “p-sep” box like that. My guess is that this is a font problem. Can you select that character on the page? If you are not in preview mode, does it show highlighted in pink?
