Why are my colours dulled in indesign?
Hi team.
I guess this is something to do with my colour set up.
basically I am in the process of creating some simple one colour graphics in illustrator. And in illustrator they look just how I want nice and vibrant.
However once I place them into indesign they look dull and lifeless. This would not bother me except when I export to PDF from indeisgn that dull lifeless image is carried to the PDF.
If I PDF from illustrator it looks just how I want.
Frustratingly in the links panel of indesign that same great colour is there but I cannot for the life of me work out why in the document it looks dull and int he PDF too, I really need help on this as its for a tender which needs to be in by the end of the weekend.
To clarify I am not worried so much about absolute colour correction, i.e. calibrating screens etc, my problem is illustrator looks great, indesign looks dull.

Setting poetry (2) Centering frames?
It is a solid proposition to prefer in many cases adopting the good tradition of center (horizontally) the frames in the pages, where the margins don't play their dominant role. The new margins, or (now) blank spaces, are identic in both sides and related to the left and righ word nearest the beginning and end of lines. And variable all the time.
Perhaps the reason behind this is that white space is democratically applied, resulting in a floating text (poem) centered in the page, producing a superb presence.
I was trying to implement an automatic process instead of dragging the right side to the left until it get perfectly fitted to the longest line and later centering in the page, fortunaly using the smart guides... But this hand-process is just a lost of time.
Indesign has a tool to fix vertically the frame (Fit Frame to Content) but this does not work horizontally.
It is scriptable?

How to export a PDF so that non-printing objects show but don't print?
Hi there,
I have been researching high and low about this and I'm still non the wiser!
I'm using Indesign CS5, and all I'd like to do is export my document to PDF including a non-printing layer so that the printers can see where to add the address to the flyer.
- I have tried changing the guide and text marks to buttons
- I've de-selected "print layer"
- I've attempted exporting to an interactive PDF
- I have played around with all of the "include" options in the exporting "general" section
Each time has resulted in either showing the non-printing object in the PDF which then shows when printing too, or doesn't show up in the PDF and doesn't print.
Any help with this would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Rebecca
Installing a higher level of InDesign
When I downloaded InDesign I put that I was a beginner. However, the interface of this app is WAY too simple. I was used to using the full interface. How do I get the full interface to download?
Bookmark Generation Crash
Hi,
I have used to create Bookmark for all heading levels like (title,h1,h2 and h3). While adding this in a TOCStyle in the Indesign and using CreateTOC, the script crashes due to the Title tag tagged with separate frame.
Have anyone faced this issue before in creating Bookmark.
var doc = app.open("bookmark_generation.indd");
var tocStyle = doc.tocStyles.firstItem();
var stories = doc.createTOC(tocStyle, true, book, ["1in", "1in"], false);
Thanks in advance

print multiple pocket size pages as booklet on A4 paper
Hello,
I tried to find an answer using Google and the FAQ here but I'm still no closer to finding a solution.
I am designing printable inserts for Travelers Notebooks. One very popular size is pocket size (3.5x5.5inch). I have designed them in InDesign - no problem there. I can print them as booklet but then most of my A4 sized printer paper is wasted as it is centered on the page.
I have tried designing one spread per page but then I have a problem with page creep and I'm not able to use booklet printing.
Is there a possibility to print 4 pocket pages (2 spreads) on 1 A4 paper sheet and still be able to use the booklet printing option?
Does anyone know a good tutorial or blog or something which can help me? I'm grateful for every tip one might have in this matter!
Thanks,
Karin
Re: Why can't I move objects and text boxes in Indesign CC?
I'm experiencing the same issue today using the latest InDesign CC. Never had this issue before, a restart temporarily fixed the issue.. but now it's doing the same thing after working in the file for a bit. Seems this only started after the last Adobe CC updates...
I'm running on Mac OSX 10.10.5
Update Swatches
Hi all,
i have a bunch of indesign-files with a bunch of color-swatches.
The color-swatches in every file are the same. The have the same name and the same color.
is it possible to update those swatches in all files. For example.
If i change the color of a swatch in one file, How can i make the same swatch from the other files update to the new color?
i know that you can load swatches but it's doesn't replace the old swatch-color. It kindda makes a copy if the swatch.
It feels like i need a CC-libraries where all the swatches are loaded. But the swatches lose the link to the librarie once they are used.
so i cant update the swatches in de library.
any ideas?

Thanks to those who know more than me,

Master items not displaying on document pages
Hi, I've placed crop/registration marks on the master pages of my document but they are not showing up in the main pages of the document – any suggestions?
Please understand the following:
– I only have one layer in the document
– these marks are in the slug area of the page
– they do show up on all A-Master pages but not on B-master pages
– the graphic is identical on the A-Master
– I have tried creating a new master yet they still do not appear
– this only happens on the left spread of the 2 pages
Creating Cover page
Before I start, I am new to InDesign.. Please excuse me if it is a super basic question.
Please see the attached screenshots. I managed to start a page number where I wanted(Page 2), now I want to change the first page to a cover page. Can someone teach me how to change the fist page to cover page, or direct me to a right tutorial? I want to change the first '1' to 'cover page 1', and create 'cover page 2'. Then 'cover 3' and 'cover 4' at the end of the page.
I have tried to search for a right tutorial, but I found irrelevant tutorials such as 'how to design cool cover page'...

How to load Print Presets and Define (Output) Preflight in Indesign
Hi,
I'm really struggling over here. I need to export a PDF with the right print presets and preflights.
When I try to load a print preset that is called MagazineAds_1v4_IND4.joboptions in my Adobe Indesign CC 2017
It tells me "Cannot import presets from this file". The steps I take are the following: Document Presets - Define - Load... and than select MagazineAds_1v4_IND4.joboptions
I also need to use: ISOcoated_v2_300_eci.icc in output - preflight - define profiles - load profiles.
But when I do it tells me "Cannot load profile from selected document".
Can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong?
I really need some help.
Thank you so much!

No longer able to constrain proportions of bounding box when dragging
Hi all. I just installed InDesign CC on my 2017 macbook pro, and I can no longer constrain proportions of a bounding box (for text or photos) by pressing the command+shift key (or option+shift). I've tried some of the fixes I've read about here, including turning off smart guides and rebooting my system. Any ideas on what to do? I use this feature constantly. Thank you!

CYMK 0%
Hello all,
I've been going around in circles about this and I'm not quite sure what to do.
I'm designing a book cover for IngramSpark, and they require for the files to be exported in CYMK, and PDF/X-1a: 2001. However, each time I do export it, I get a blank file, which lately caused the file to being rejected.
Looking at the Separation preview, all the CYMK colours for all the items (cover art and text) on the cover are at 0%, which I believe is the cause of the problem. Can I change the colours individually? Is there a way to do this and how?!
Thank you so much for any help and advice you can provide.
Sorting an alphanumerical index
Right now I am trying to correctly index a 600 page catalog. Everything is indexed and ready to go, so when I create my index, it jumbles the references. The problem that I am having is the index references are both alphabetical and alphanumerical. Is there a way to sort this correctly?
Right now, it displays like this:
I want this to sort in such a way that it displays the alphanumerical items as well as the numerical items in order, instead of sorting first by alphanumerics only and then numerical only. So it ends up looking something like this:
3AVOR56KOAD
31161-962
31162-962
etc.
If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears. Thanks.
