David BlatnerKeymasterI can't think of any way to do that when the numbers are added “manually” like that. You can make x-refs that point to paragraph numbers when you use automatic numbering, though, I believe.

David BlatnerKeymasterYes, a normal Paragraph Style running header text variable should work for that.
David BlatnerKeymasterYou're asking all the right questions.
Whether it's 72 or 96 ppi, it's basically going to be the same result. If you scale it down in InDesign, so that you get at least 200 ppi, you're probably going to be fine for an ad. Maybe 225.
You do not need to convert to CMYK in Photoshop! Common mistake. Just leave it RGB then export the InDesign document as a PDF file, and use the PDF/X1 preset. That will flatten and convert everything to CMYK. If you want more control over the color export, you can choose a different cmyk “Destination” in the Output pane of the pdf export dialog box.

David BlatnerKeymasterGreat questions, Diana. Important issues here.
The Link Info area of the Links panel shows 329 x 295 because you probably scaled it disproporitionally (squished it wider or narrower). The pixels in the 96 ppi image got smaller when you scaled it down, so the final (“effective”) resolution is high enough for print. At this point, you do not need to go back to Photoshop to resize/resample it.
(If it were a really high-quality photographic image, you might want to, and then apply appropriate sharpening, etc, but that's a whole other set of criteria. For most images, you don't need to and don't want to take that step.)
If you were going to place the 96 ppi image into InDesign and not scale it down, then it might be too low res, and would look jaggy. There isn't much you can do about that. I would still not open it in Photoshop and resample it, as you can't really just “add data” and it will still look icky.
I like that you said 250 ppi. It is very rare that you need more than 250. You don't need 300 in most cases. (Again, high quality artbook, etc.)
David BlatnerKeymasterInDesign page size doesn't matter at all if your output is to epub. What you see on screen will bear no relation at all to what you export. :)

David BlatnerKeymasterNever heard of it, but I can't imagine it would be similar to ID as it's CAD software, not layout software.
David BlatnerKeymasterHuh? Did you use the backslash-angle-brackets at the beginning and end? Those are word boundaries. Or you could put a backslash-b at both sides, which should also work.
David BlatnerKeymasterTo add the comma, just add a ,? at the end. The question mark means “zero or one” instances of the previous character.
David BlatnerKeymasterI love the idea of automating this, but sadly I can't think of any good way to do it beyond the clever solutions you have come up with.
David BlatnerKeymasterLOL! That is funny. Yes, cm are a rarity here.
Do you know who was the first president of the United States to suggest that we should change to metric? George Washington, in his first state of the union address in the 18th century! We are still struggling with the idea.
David BlatnerKeymasterI believe that PDF2ID has some functionality built in, but for more threading options, I would take a look at the free TextStitch from Rorohiko.com or MergeTextFrames from Ajar.
David BlatnerKeymasterYou can select more than one animation at a time in the Timing panel and link them together so they play at the same time.
David BlatnerKeymasterActually, it's a “liquid guide” not just fun. You can use that for guide-based liquid layout. You can even convert one kind of guide into another.
David BlatnerKeymasterActually… yes!
Recosoft.com tells us that the code ID_Secrets is still in effect. 25% discount on either PDF2ID Standard v3.5 or PDF2ID Professional v3.5
Tell us how it goes.

David BlatnerKeymasterYup. Frustrating! Here you go:
