Thank you, Eugene. This is the best tech site I have found whose experts are willing to explain things fully and be patient with someone like me, who didn't grow up with computers. You did a great job of explaining, so now I have it. You guys are awesome. Arlene

Oh dear, I believe you both agreed I should put 3 mm (which converted into 0.1181 in.) in the Bleed box. But I just checked the size of the book in the PDF, and it says 6.24 x 9.24. Our book is 6x9, and as I said, we have already had copies printed and they have come out all right in size...

Wow, what a lot to absorb. I'm sure the transparency part doesn't pertain to us. You guys are awesome! Thanks for taking the time to explain all this to me. I think I'm good to go. I will save all of this info for future reference. Thanks again. Arlene

Andrew, I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional. But in the Compatibility, should I change it to Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) to be safe? It is now Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4). Also, with your suggestion of typing in the 3mm and it would convert to inches I did that and it changed it to 0.1181 in. I'm assuming...

Thanks Eugene. We have sent the PDF in before and it was printed without any problem except they are so inconsistent about quality. Sometimes the pictures were good and sometimes they were too light, so I was trying to be assured on my end that I was doing things right. My author has written a...

Eugene and Andrew, You have both been extremely helpful. I think I have it now, except -- Andrew, you said -- ...always keep the transparency flattener set to HIGH... The Advanced screen has the transparency flattener grayed out, and it has Medium Resolution, which I can't change. Would you...

Eugene, Yes, the book interior is black and white. I changed the ADOBE PDF PRESET from High Quality Print to Press Quality. Then it changes the Press Quality to [Press Quality] (modified). I added to the STANDARD: PDF/X-1a:2003, as you said. But when I change to No Color Conversion, the...

I would like to thank all who answered my questions, and especially Eugene. I purchased InDesign and downloaded GIMP and the pictures improved some. We have had some delays due to changes the author made, but now we are ready to send in the final copy. I wanted to doublecheck and see if I am...

Andrew, Wow, thanks for all the info. I won't be able to get to it right away because of family obligations, but am anxious to see what I can do. Arlene

Thank you so much for answering, Andrew. I will definitely take your advice. I will try the GIMP and see if this will help, and I will look at the websites. I will answer later as to how this all worked for me. Thanks again. Arlene

I have Adobe Indesign -- have sent a book to the printers with about 75 images. I had scanned them on a cheap printer. Apparently some of them were at 72 dpi, which I changed to 300 dpi. I used Microsoft Picture It. Then they were grayscaled in Corel PhotoPaint. I sent them to the...

Wow, what response! Guess I started all this discussion. Yes, Edward, we did get a proof (actually a book we paid for wholesale). That is how we knew the pictures weren't good. I read all your responses, but I am not very tech savvy, so I took Eugene up on his offer to check over my content and...

I originally sent a PDF to a printer/publisher for a book in PageMaker. I had made sure the images were 300 dpi (were .tif). I had grayscaled the images in Corel Photopaint. The book came back with the images lighter than we had hoped. I was advised that my pictures weren't 300 dpi, but I...

Actually you are right. I had text on most of my pages, but it is ending up as a 302 page book with two blank pages at the end, which makes it 304. Thanks for your observation.

My book document is ready to go except I need a page inserted after page 217 of a 300 page book and I will add text there so that Part V will start on the right hand side of the book, as all the other parts do. I have done the obvious after using some of the training I have found plus looked in...

Eugene, You are a genius. I backspaced over page break and that deleted the page. Wow! No one else that I asked even thought of that. I spent hours trying to figure it out. When I typed the book I just let it flow from page to page. Don't know where the page breaks came in, or maybe they come...

Eugene, thank you for answering. First of all, the book was converted from Pagemaker to InDesign by a person because the pictures weren't turning out well, and he enhanced them. All would have been well, however, in the process he moved the pictures to other spots and the font was a bit smaller...

When I delete a page within my book document shouldn't that break the threads? When I deleted the page the blank page was still showing with the threads even though the page number had decreased by one. When I clicked on the ports, a loaded text icon appeared with text from my first chapter...

InDesign is new to me. In the book I’m working on, I have added two pages in the middle of the book in which I dropped and dragged images from other pages. I want these to stay where they now are, but I can’t seem to get the pages threaded to the other pages. I have read about the in ports and...

SlimJimD: Thanks for the answers. I went back into the PM file, and the links were still all there. So still don't know why it won't print, but I already have the one we want uploaded to the website of the publisher/printer, unless I have to re-create to get a better quality product. I don't...
