David BlatnerMary: We talked about scaling documents in this podcast: https://creativepro.com/podcasts/podcast-237
(spoiler alert: it’s not as easy as you’d hope)
David BlatnerUnfortunately, object states don’t work in interactive PDF. Buttons can work, but typically not on iOS.

David BlatnerThis probably isn’t the most elegant way, but you could search for [(UNDER)|(SOLD)].+?(DAYS)
That will find any sentence that starts with “under” and ends with “days” (in all caps)
David BlatnerJonathan, can you say more about what is difficult about placing and managing graphics? If you have a Lynda.com/LinkedInLearning subscription, you could watch some of my movies about the topic:
InDesign CC Essential Training
or
InDesign Insider Training: Working with Photoshop and Illustrator
or others.
David BlatnerYes, it should. The code means “search for an asterisk followed by some text followed by an asterisk” and then $1 means “replace it with just the text”
David BlatnerLana, sorry about our forum software cutting out the link to your image… here it is: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9Xm3YmTm05oOU9tSExGQ0pHZDg
David BlatnerI would try exporting as IDML and then opening the IDML file, in order to remove any possible document corruption.
David BlatnerThat is very strange. Did you figure out what it could be? How are you exporting to PDF?
David BlatnerSo it happens only when you are switching from one application to another?
David BlatnerThis article might help: https://creativepro.com/findbetween-a-useful-grep-string.php
But in general, I would just search (in the grep tab) for \*(.+?)\* and then replace with $1 and set it to bold.
David BlatnerI’m glad you explained why you want to do this. Maybe there is a cleaner way to do this. Instead of breaking it up and adding tabs, I suggest using a “hanging indent.”
Set the left indent of the paragraphs to about .5″
Then set the First Line Indent (that is a different field in the Control panel or the Paragraph panel) to -.5″ (a negative number).
That makes all subsequent lines indented.

David Blatnerwow, that is incredibly bizarre. What kind of file format did you use to save the images? Are they saved as PSD files? Or TIFF? or something else?
Are you viewing the exported PDF with Adobe Acrobat, or some other pdf viewer?
David BlatnerI don’t know why that would happen. But try turning off the GPU (if that is enabled) and see if that helps.

If that doesn’t change anything, then I would suggest rebuilding your preferences.
David BlatnerI would try these things:
1. Rebuild your preferences: https://creativepro.com/rebuilding-indesign-preferences.php
2. Close all panels you do not need (not just minimize them in the dock, but actually close them). Then try closing all the panels, even the ones you think you do need!
3. Make sure your third-party plug-ins and add-ons have been updated properly
4. Do you have the same problem with a brand new document? Or is it only certain documents?
5. Try logging into a new account (like a guest account) on your computer and launch InDesign from there.
6. Try turning off your internet connection (no wifi, no ethernet)
