Is there a way to make either your table style OR your cell style define a row height and column width? I want my style to specify my row height as "Exactly .15 in" and my row width as "Exactly 2 in."

I have Acrobat professional. But: I just tried printing one of the PDFs to the "Adobe PDF" printer... but the security settings stopped me. This message popped up: %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%% This PostScript file was created from an encrypted PDF file. Redistilling encrypted PDF is not...

Hmmmmmm... How could I print each of these PDFs to a virtual printer... in a batch? I have around 3000, so anything I do needs to be automated. As I said earlier, I'm trying to create thumbnails of each of them.

Jim, The virtual printer idea might very well be my solution. Also: the forms were created by me (and others in my department.) They're blank forms, i.e., they're not populated with any confidential patient. We're creating this online catalog so that doctors in our hospital can search for the...

I have about 3000 medical records/forms. Each is saved as a PDF with security enabled. The Permissions for each PDF, found in the Document Properties, are: Printing: Allowed Changing the Document: Not Allowed Document Assembly: Not Allowed Content Copying: Not Allowed Content Copying for...

Just a heads up: Please mark links NSFW (Not Safe For Work) if they contain nudity. Some workers can get in serious trouble for opening a site that contains nude images. Thanks!

If I ever had a print house tell me they needed my .indd file rather than a .pdf, I'd find a new print house. I don't want anyone outside of my company / department working on my files. But that's just me.

Point taken, Eugene. I work in a small work group (only two of us) and our default font is Optima. Both of us have our Basic Paragraph styles set to Optima. We never have problems because we only share files between our two machines. I can see where editing your BP style could create problems...

When you change your preferences while a document is open, you will only change the preferences for that particular document. To change your default preferences, make sure no documents are open. Then make the changes. So, in your case, close all documents, then go to Preferences > Units and...

I'm working on creating forms that will be used for confidential information (medical records.) Here's what I want: A form with fields that will be filled out. The document will be saved on a central server. Doctors & staff will download the document, fill out the fields, and print the...

As an aside, you shouldn't have to reshape your text frames to fit around an image. Instead, apply Text Wrap to the image so the text flows around it. That way, you can move the image and the text will continue to flow around it; or you can remove the image and the text will fill the original...

I would like a way to place a semi-transparent stamp on my ID documents with the word "PROOF" and the current date/time. The date/time is important because some documents go through multiple revisions before being finalized. I created a TIF in Illustrator that says "PROOF," and I can Place it...

You need to turn on Anti-Aliasing. On your Character panel, you'll see a drop-down menu that has "None" selected. That is your Anti-Aliasing mode selection menu. If you've already typed your text, highlight all of it with the Text tool. Then pull down that menu and try each of the four...

Make your life easy. Turn it into a Live Paint group. Expand the cube, as Carlow suggested. With the cube selected, get your Live Paint tool and click on the cube to turn it into a Live Paint Group. Now use the Live Paint bucket to color each face whatever side you want.

To my knowledge, you'll need a third-party plugin, such as David Blatner's PatternMaker.
