    Don't forget the PDF2ID plug-in from Recosoft, which is one of the easiest ways to migrate PDF information into InDesign.

    Okay, thanks everyone. The answer is that it does not appear to have anything to do with the web browser or OS. It has something bizarrely to do with the user account. We'll figure it out… unfortunately, Pariah (who has set up most of this for us) is on holiday so we probably can't change it for another week or so. Sorry!

    Kris, Eugene, and eelco: Please let me know what browser and OS you're using.

    If you log out and log back in (to this site), does that help?

    Theun: The problem with the math is that it's annoying and slows people down… the captcha was originally set up to avoid spam, but it's not relevant because you have to be logged in to post. If you're logged in already, why force people to do math?

    (Besides, since I do all my basic math in InDesign now, my brain has atrophied.)

    LOL, Kris. Perhaps we should be doing shendoku puzzles down there. Wink

    However, your comment made me sit up because you should not be seeing ANY math puzzles down there! Please see: https://creativepro.com/for…..this-forum

    You rarely need more than 1.5x your halftone screen frequency (assuming you're printing to a traditional halftone screen with regularly-space spots, like in a magazine or newspaper). If you're printing at 150 lpi (lines per inch) then you almost certainly do not need more than 225 ppi images.

    There's a huge difference in file size between 225 and 300, so it's useful to stay with the minimum required.

    Of course, if you import a 225 ppi image and scale it up to 110%, then you have only about 200 ppi effective resolution.

    Oh yes, I remember Ben well! Great guy. If you're out there, Ben: Hi!

    You can sort of get a list of text anchors by choosing Hyperlinks Destinations Options from the Hyperlinks panel menu.

    I'm curious about what James said about #2… because that is true in some circumstances, notably when printing to a lower-resolution printer (like under 1200 dpi). Not everyone is outputting on high-res platesetters.

    But yes, there are so many myths out there. We just heard elsewhere on the forum about the old “don't use truetype” myth. That's been false for years.

    Not sure exactly what you're referring to, but this page talks about a problem when printing to an “office printer”:

    But more importantly, if this is really being printed on a laser or inkjet printer (as final artwork) I would suggest setting the Transparency Blend Space to RGB, and then making sure the Output is set to RGB instead of CMYK. That might help, too.

    Sheri, my first editor, Steve Roth, once taught me an important lesson: desktop publishers should always try to be as lazy as possible by automating everything — letting the computer do what we bought 'em for!

    You might also try Peter Kahrel's Batch_Convert

    and Zevrix BatchOutput.
