David BlatnerAre you placing it, or copy/pasting the artwork?
Oh, wait, do you mean there is additional space around all four sides of the rectangle? You mean, the bounding box is too big when you add the stroke?
David BlatnerWhew… no, not really. Not via InDesign. If the form elements are pretty much the same across, however, you might:
1. export a non-interactive pdf
2. add the forms in one place
3. use duplicate form fields to repeat them on the pages you want quickly
4. then split the pdf into separate pieces (see comment section of this article: https://creativepro.com/spl…..files.php)
David BlatnerI wrote an article in this month's InDesign Magazine about finding and inserting special glyphs based on unicode, too. I forgot to include that Info panel tip! Drat! But there's other goodness in there, including tricks for using the Glyphs panel of the Find/Change dialog box.
David BlatnerWhat do you mean by “struggling”? Is it that they are too dark? Or that you are getting too much ink coverage?
Whether you apply the profile in InDesign (upon export to PDF) or in Photoshop (using edit > convert to profile) you will get the same results.
David BlatnerInteresting indeed. Here's an article on the subject: https://piracy.ssrc.org/adobe-logic/
David BlatnerWOW. That's awesome, Eugene. I love the TRS-80. And the telephone modem. I remember using 300 baud modems with a telephone cradle. Of course, I also remember paper tape and recording programs on “audio” cassettes. Good times.
David BlatnerNo, you don't calibrate to the output condition. You just need to characterize (make a profile) for your screen (so InDesign knows what you're looking at). That's what making a monitor profile is all about.
Are the two magazines printed on different paper stocks? At different printers? Why on earth would they be different, I wonder.
David BlatnerThere is some talk about something similar going on here: https://forums.adobe.com/messag…..16#3584716
Maybe we'll see a cool script come out of this.

David BlatnerNo, unfortunately I don't think either of those are possible in ID. Perhaps with a script or plug-in that I don't know of.
David BlatnerThe silence you're hearing here is everyone scratching their heads. I can't think of any reason those should be grayed out. Very weird. Yes, CS5 would likely help in some ways. (And you can have CS4 and CS5 on the same machine.)
David BlatnerThe compression settings should not matter (downsampling and compression do not affect type layers).
Have you tried turning on View > Display Performance > High Quality Display? That is the only way you can see if the type is vector or raster in InDesign.
David BlatnerThe gap is defined by the current page's column gutter (see Layout > Margins & Columns). Obscure, I know… I agree that there should be a more clear way to do it.
David BlatnerYou might also take a look at the Side Heads plug-in from in-tools: https://in-tools.com/products/p…..ide-heads/
They have several long-document solutions that can help in these kinds of publications.
David BlatnerNo, ID can't look inside and see what's inside an EPS or a PDF.
The PSD question is easier to answer: See https://creativepro.com/tif…..pdf-vs.php
(See my comments after the article about smart objects… the answer: yes, psd cancels out vector goodness… grrr.)
