David BlatnerKeymasterThis is a very confusing aspect of hyperlinks. See my movie about hyperlinks in my title on interactive pdf at lynda.com.
The hyperlinks panel lists instances of links in your document, not destinations. Each hyperlink shows up as a new entry there, even if they go to the same place. Once you make one shared hyperlink, you can select some more text (or an object) and choose that URL from the URL popup menu in the hyperlinks panel.
David BlatnerKeymasterSalieri, you bring up some interesting points, but very few people require specific CMYK values for branding inside a photographic image, or use RGB vector images (which I do not recommend in general). There are other times when converting to CMYK before importing into InDesign is helpful, too (for example, there is some color retouching that is impossible to do when the image is still in RGB). But again, this is not common.
The vast majority of InDesign users want to place photographic images on their pages and have high-quality output (whether it is print or on-screen). RGB images is the way to go for this process for almost everyone.
David BlatnerKeymasterMost people with a lot of fonts use font management tools such as Suitcase Fusion, Font Explorer from Linotype, Font Agent Pro, and so on. I don’t recall that any of them let you color the fonts in your menu, or group them in the font menu itself, but they all let you filter and find fonts in various ways within their user interface.
David BlatnerKeymasterYes, create three documents: Book A, Book B, and Common Pages. Then use File > Place to import the common pages into A and B (use show import options if you want to control how they’re placed, including bringing more than one page in at a time).
When you want to edit a page from Common Pages, just open and edit. Then you’ll have to click Update in the Links panel in A and B.
David BlatnerKeymasterI’m not a big AI user, so I’m not sure how that feature works. In ID, you can open any document and choose the “As a Copy” radiobutton at the bottom of the Open dialog box, and it will open it as a “template,” so you don’t technically need to save it as a template.
David BlatnerKeymasterI don’t understand some aspects of this workflow:
- Why not just import the Word file into InDesign?
- Why convert the images into JPG? InDesign places and prints/exports PNG files just as well.
- Why were you flattening the PDF? Why not just export as PDF from InDesign, which maintains the links upon export?
When I insert images into Word, then select them and apply hyperlinks, then save and place into InDesign, the hyperlinks all come in. When I export as PDF and turn on the Hyperlinks checkbox in the export pdf dialog box, those hyperlinks work in the PDF, too.
David BlatnerKeymasterSalieri: InDesign uses exactly the same technology to convert RGB images to CMYK! The vast majority of InDesign users should be importing RGB images into InDesign, and then exporting CMYK PDF files to send to a printer.
If you choose the PDF/X-1a pdf preset, for example, that will automatically convert all RGB images to CMYK. (There are higher-quality ways to do it, using a different CMYK target profile, but the set one is fine for most folks, most of the time.)
I need to write a blog post about this. I’m amazed that so many people still convert to CMYK before importing into InDesign!
David BlatnerKeymasterAh, yes. Word will almost certainly mangle all kinds of things in tagged text. You need to use a text editor, not a word processor. :)
David BlatnerKeymasterHere is the table from the Tagged Text document:
Special character Value Paragraph return (hard return) <0x000D> Line break (soft return) <0x000A> Auto page numbering <0xE0018> Section marker <0xE0019> Bullet character <0x2022> Copyright symbol <0x00A9> Degree symbol <0x00B0> Ellipsis <0x2026> Paragraph symbol <0x00B6> Registered trademark symbol <0x00AE> Section symbol <0x00A7> Trademark symbol <0x2122> Em dash <0x2014> En dash <0x2013> Em space <0x2003> Ideographic space <0x3000> En space <0x2002> Flush space <0x2001> Hair space <0x200A> Sixth space <0x2006> Quarter space <0x2005> Third space <0x2004> Punctuation space <0x2008> Figure space <0x2007> Nonbreaking space <0x00A0> Nonbreaking space (fixed width) <0x202F> Thin space <0x2009> Discretionary hyphen <0x00AD> Nonbreaking hyphen <0x2011> Double left quotation mark <0x201C> Double right quotation mark <0x201D> Single left quotation mark <0x2018> Single right quotation mark <0x2019> Non-joiner <0x200C> David BlatnerKeymasterWhat version of InDesign?
When I insert an indent here character, export as tagged text, make a change in Text Wrangler, save, then Place the new version into InDesign, the indent here character is still there. No loss.I think it doesn’t show up in Text Wrangler (or, does show up, but as a question mark as you said) because it’s a special “low-ascii” character.
You can type an “indent to here” character yourself in tagged text by typing:

https://forums.adobe.com/thread/330865David BlatnerKeymasterHello Haeme! We don’t currently have any way to do that from the forum itself. However, here are some ideas:
You can subscribe to ALL the forum posts with this RSS feed:
You can use that in an RSS feed reader to keep up with all posts. I believe you need to visit the forum to reply, however (partly because you must be logged in to reply.)
You can also click on the “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” at the bottom of each thread.
I will investigate if there is a way to receive a whole forum as email…
David BlatnerKeymasterOnce the images are in CMYK, you have already set the max ink for them. You could, in theory, force them into a smaller max ink using color management in InDesign, but it’s not fun. You have to “cross-render” the whole document to a different CMYK profile using “Convert to Destination” (but “Convert to Destination (Preserve Numbers)” when exporting a PDF.
It is far better to keep your images as RGB and then simply export to CMYK when you make the PDF. I will write that process up as a blog post for you soon.
August 12, 2013 at 8:55 am in reply to: Numbered boxes appearing over interactive buttons in PDF #64792David BlatnerKeymasterIf they have chosen the Select Object tool (as part of the interactive objects editing), then I can see how they might see labels… for example, here’s what one PDF looks like with that tool selected:
But I’m not sure what else would make labels appear like that.
David BlatnerKeymasterDo you want the .doc files linked? Or are they just linked in the files/templates you’re using and you want to unlink them? If it is the latter, you should be able to Unlink the files in the Links panel menu. (I’m talking about the regular version of InDesign, not Server.)
Or is this something you need to be able to disable from within ID Server?
David BlatnerKeymasterDoes Kelly’s article about it here help? https://documentgeek.blogspot.com/2011/12/trick-to-getting-column-strokes-to-be.html
