David BlatnerKeymasterYes, that will tell you if the font designer has included kerning pairs in the font design.
Of course, for some fonts and uses, I set the kerning to Optical. You can apply optical kerning to a font with no kerning pairs and sometimes get pretty decent kerning. :)
David BlatnerKeymasterFrom Eugene (got cut off from his message above):
It’s best to assure your client that Pantone can’t be replicated on your printer as it’s a very specialist set of colour inks that cannot be reproduced on digital outputs – it’s nothing to do with the breakdown, it’s an actual pot of ink that the printers will use.
They may darken or lighten it, or run the press heavier on it, or lighter to achieve the colour to match the colour sample.
I guess at this point you should contact the printers and make sure they have the same Pantone book as you do.
David BlatnerKeymasterI want to second what Eugene said: There is nothing special about picking a pantone color from a library vs. just making one yourself. The important thing is that you name spot color swatch something clear so that when you print separations your printer knows what to use.

David BlatnerKeymasterThere are lots of ways that people publish data with InDesign. But in this case, because it’s all in Word anyway, I wonder if you might find it more useful just to use a product such as WordsFlow:
David BlatnerKeymasterGREP is great for this kind of thing. You can, for example, search for “s\.” (s followed by a backslash then a full stop), then replace it with just “s”
David BlatnerKeymasterOn the same line where? Inside the panel? Maybe the CSV file is not created properly. Did you export it from excel as CSV?
David BlatnerKeymasterOh, I misunderstood. Well, you have to place it once with File > Place. But after that, you have two choices:
1) You can select the image inside the frame (double-click it) then copy, then click the next frame and choose Paste Into. Repeat select-then-paste-into (you can use the keyboard shortcut to make this go really fast).2) After you place the image, you can hit B to get the content collector, and click once on the image. That places the image into the collection bin. Then press B again to switch to the content placer, choose the middle icon at the bottom of the bin (“place multiple and keep in conveyor”), and then just click on each frame you want to put the image into.
I’ll write that up as a blog post soon so you can see images.
David BlatnerKeymasterSounds like you want Object > Fitting > Frame Fitting Options

David BlatnerKeymasterMasood is correct that this works great in InDesign… but unfortunately it does not translate into a PDF.
PDF files are not dynamic like this, and what is easy in HTML/CSS is very difficult (or impossible) in PDF. You would have to make many different “buttons”, each one or more objects. For more details, see:
