Thanks for you suggestion. I have resorted to manually moving the text container and resetting my nudge to offset the second box.

Is there any way to define a object style with x/y coordinates? I have to manually move objects throughout a 500+ page book and didn't know if it is possible to define coordinates via an object style. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the comment (albeit negative). I'm messing around with some search and replace functions (GREP) to try to at less reduce the repetition (and carpal tunnel syndrome).

I was hopeful by the links, but after testing IndexMatic, it does not capture the entire name. Because the names are defined by a paragraph style (due to imported data), a first name and the last name are separate entries and are listed as such in the resulting output. Any other suggestions?

Am I missing something or do I have to manually index mark each name (of which there are over 2,000 contained in 18 chapters in the book)? I thought that one could earmark a style to include in an index. Is it possible to do a search and replace with index markers? The looming task of clicking...

Andrew: Thank you for your response. I'm going the way of xml. This appears to be more suited to what I need. ruffian

I understand how to do the mail merge function in CS3. The roadblock I'm at is that I need to merge over 5,000 records and the csv file is set up so that multiple names are "tied" to the same ID. (e.g., ID Credit 1, John Smith 1, Joe Pains 1, Sally Data 2, Gertrude Davis 2, Darcy Person...

C3 now appears to print the document information lower on the page. Hence, this information is printing over our slug. I understand we can move the slug down, but is there a way to change the placement of the document information as our older documents (created in CS2) that we are bringing...

Using Acrobat 8 - it is my understanding that Forms created in Acrobat LifeCycle can be filled and saved by Reader 8. What I am encountering is that the Distribute step is requiring an email account. I do not want the form to ever be emailed, is this possible? And how do I bypass the "placing of...

You might take a look at the Automation - Data Merge capability. I have only tested it, thou it did populate graphic frames and you can define how images are fitted; whether to link or embed.

Layered Illustrator files: Create your illustrator file with art on separate layers: Layer1 - image 1, Layer2 - image 2, etc. Save file as a PDF with compatibility set at ACRobat 6 or Higher. Check "Create Acrobat Layers from Top-Level Layers." From InDesign, Place the PDF, making certain that...

Have you tried quitting InDesign and restarting. Sometimes I get erratic behaviour if I do not restart several times a week. Also, you might want to do a Save As to clean out any hidden "agenda." Another thought, are you using linked text frames? Maybe something is not visible.

You might try using layered Illustrator files. The illustrator file would contain a different layer for each vector image. Then in ID, you can toggle which layer to turn on for the corresponding catalog version. I can outline the steps if you think this would be a viable solution. You obviously...

Check to see that you have applied the paragraph style to any hard returns following your formatted paragragh and the end of story sybmol (#). (Show hidden characters or Edit in Story mode)

Actually, you do not have to recreate your form. Just make the necessary alts in InDesign, redistill your pdf (name it something other than the existing form PDF). Then in Acrobat, under Documents select Replace Page, select the newly updated PDF and presto, all your form fields are now on the...

I need to do a simple subtraction from another field and do not know javascript to write a code. Either I am missing something very obvious, or Acrobat did not include that math function. Subtract Discount from Subtotal field

I am creating a form in Acrobat 7 Professional (Windows). The list box I have defined with State Abbreviations does not keep the selection unless one clicks in the list box area before tabbing to the next field. Also, the list box area is gray - thou I have no field fill color selected. None of...

BodesMan: I know how to write a prn but not a ps file. Also where do you change the settings to Download as Soft font. How can you distill a prn. Acrobat sends an error when I try distilling a prn. thanks again

Thank you for tip. I'll try that. Certainly will save time modifying client's supplied documents.

Do you have align to baseline?
