    Although… with that “file opening” weirdness you describe, perhaps you should try the INX/IDML route to clear out whatever gunk is stuck in there.

    I honestly can't think what inside a document could cause that. Sounds very odd.

    But a bigger question is: Why are you trying to copy and paste from the original document? What is wrong with the old, tried-and-true: Save-as-then-work-on-the-duplicate? Save As removes file bloating. I would probably do a save as, then strip out what I don't need anymore, then do another save as and be on my way. You could throw in an export-to-INX/IDML-and-open-that-file in there, but it's rarely necessary.

    You're not going to be happy about this, but ID's footnotes ignore text wrap. Even worse, they ignore non-rectangular frames, so you cannot even change the frame shape to make this work. The only solution is to make the footnotes manually (not using the auto footnote feature).

    That is very, very weird.

    Do you have a book file open? Perhaps it's that book file that is opening and closing the files?

    You have a good grasp of the technology, Colin. However, I think the point isn't “can you” use 300 ppi or use JPG, but “must you”? I think what Mike and James and others are trying to point out is that the myths say “you must!” and the reality is that the only thing “you must” do is learn the underlying reasons, not just follow blindly. Thanks for contributing!

    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
