    You can achieve exactly what is in your pic with those settings.

    In the print dialog, go to marks and bleed, all the settings you may ever need are there.

    We deal with alot of text and rarely (I can't recall when the last problem was) have issues with hyphenation, I would tend to agree with Jongware about it being user error. The last time there was an issue I think it may have been with a German publishers file and the wrong dictionary being selected.

    No not an OS problem, at least not involving Lion as we are still running Snow Leopard in the studio here.

    Ireally don't mean to be critical but this seems quite a strange way to work. Aside from the single page workflow it is far easier to create a pdf directly from ID.

    May I enquire, are you creating a multipage document for print by having an Indesign document for each page, then saving each page as a ps file and then turning that ps file into a pdf?

    You will need to use a paragraph style not a character style. If you want it (H1 or H2) to have a dropshadow it will need to be in it's own text box. Use a paragraph rule to make the shape behind the text.

    LOL, I know, sometimes a proof can be too much of an ask these days, let alone a bound one.

    So if I may summerize:

    there is no technical reason to add to the image, only aesthetic.

    It is personal preference.

    In my mind it just shows attention to detail.

    Yep thats it David, we used an image frame for each page with a 3 mm “nudge” over. (It was a 6mm offset not 6 point, sorry)

    My friend would often pick up other peoples work and comment on how they had lost some of the image into the spine.

    As Eugene says follow what the printer says, and don't ever try to account for creep, it's a press setting based on the paper weight.

    However, I also agree that you don't want to loose a bit of the image into the spine, an old colleague of mine used to insist on adding a 6 point offset to any dps images, and it did work. It does look wrong in the document but when printed worked well.

    If you can see a bound proof of it then you can make a call on it then.

    Yes it's the first line (heading) that I want to sit on top of the frame, the para rule will give it the coloured background

    Yes try a pdf-x output, 1a will flatten the transparency. It does sound like there are issues with the rip not handling the transparency well. A flattened output should handle this better, also check you have got any text above any transparency, using layers.

    Make the stroke style dotted and then give it another colour for the gaps.

    You could also save that frame you have as an Object style and apply it as you need it
