    When I hold down the option key and pull on the bounding box, the page still snaps back to its original position. Like the OP, if I change the page by typing a new value into the height box, it works. Ideas?

    Thank you, very helpful. I have 4gb of RAM. :)

    Yes, it is a real problem not being able to export in one go, because when I exported in pieces and manually combined them in Acrobat, my bookmarks were all broken. One of the files in the book contains a TOC and I need that to generate the bookmarks. I create a new PDF weekly or twice a week.

    I have placed inDesign files within the pages so that I can make changes to those placed files and have the changes reflect everywhere. If I were to place PDF files intead, would it still be a “live link?” As in, I could make new PDF files with the same name, and InDesign would recognize that they are updated and ask if I want to update the content?

    Alternatively, would it help to restructure my indb such that instead of having 50 or so one-page docs, I used 5 or so 10-page docs?

    Thanks,

    Ha, I actually use Layout Zone already so why didn't I think of that??

    Thanks!

    You may want to simply embed INDD files within an INDD file (instead of an INDB file), then the numbering will not be a problem? You can place an inDesign file just as you can place an Illustrator file or anything else.

    David, that is exactly the solution I need. I can turn off auto pagination while I'm working, make a list of changed files, then turn on the auto pagination just before creating the pdf. Thanks so much!!!

    Ketrinz, sorry I don't know anything about Interactive PDF maker.

    Yes, it does do the page numbering correctly, and as you describe. (but what were you trying to imply??)

    My problem is, I don't want all the subsequent documents to change. Because I have another process where I have to post all of the “changed files” to a website. I can't tell which files have actually changed, since the timestamp has changed on lots of them. See what I mean? There is probably no way around this, but I was just wondering, because it's a pain.

    I wish I could click on an entry in the TOC and go there in the document. Like I can in the PDF it generates, but within InDesign. Can I do that?

    The problem is, I can't batch rename because the names are descriptive, like us_2_0_1_multiship_chooseaddress.jpg, us_2_0_2_multiship_chooseshipping.jpg. The names describe the content. So I think it's best to split up the doc, give each INDD page/file a name, and that way, when I make revisions and export new jpgs, I won't have to name them each time. The extensions you guys suggested are working well.

    David: do you know who taught me about batching and automation? My old boss Ben Ko, do you remember him? I think you used to work with us at Electronic Publishing Services, a textbook packager. “Back in the day.” Quark, Autopage, etc. We used to spend a LOT of time figuring out how to automate something. Probably longer than the actual work would have taken. Smile

    Hmmm, was that to imply that I'm lazy? Oh I'll show you lazy… with my follow-up question. Once I have 40 1-page docs, can I batch export all 40 docs to jpgs at once? That is my end goal here.

    (Why not export all the jpgs from one doc? I need each jpg to have and retain a descriptive name, and it's my understanding that you can't name pages in InDesign. So if I split the doc, I can name each INDD file and have it keep that name each time I export to jpg. Oh did you think I would only have to do the export ONCE? That's silly. Also in truth I have lots of these docs that need to be split up and turned to jpgs.)

    Thank you for the exportools suggestion, I'm going to download that now.
