    drop shadow confusion (i'm really trying to understand)

    You cannot create a drop shadow effect on editable text. You have to outline the text first, then create the dropshadow effect.

    Importing images into ID

    I'm still guessing it's a CMYK vs. RGB thing. Indesign will output as CMYK, and will desaturate any 'out of gamut' colours. Try converting your image to cmyk in illustrator and/or Photoshop to see if there's still a problem.

    Importing images into ID

    I'm guessing you're working with an RGB image. These almost always look dull in Indesign, one work around, is to turn on soft proofing in Indesign, and chose a RGB profile as proofing profile.

    photoshop initialization freeze...HELP!!!

    If you're on a pc hold down ctrl+shift+alt when starting Photoshop. Then you'll reset your preferences, and everything should work again. On mac I guess it's cmd+alt+shift but I'm not certain.

    Exporting to pdf

    It can be done, and in some cases it might be the only non time consuming solution. But there's one major drop back about this solution. Rasterizing a pdf will also rasterize the text. So instead of printing text @ 1200 dpi (standard res for text and vector graphic) your text will get rasterized...

    Bilingual book so half upside down

    If the book is layouted like this (example is a 20p book) p1-10 one language, p11-20 another language. I'd simply layout the book as normal, and rotate page 11-20 in acrobat. But that solution of course only works if you're supplying single page pdf's to your printer, and not if you have to...

    text flow to the next page problem

    These may be obvious questions, but have you checked: 1) if there's any page elements with text wrap in the bottom of the pages - check master pages for elements as well? Or 2) if there's an inner margin on the textbox? Also are the text flow between text boxes intact? And finally, does the...

    Transparency problem

    I believe the solution lies in your transparency flatterner presets. If I recall my theory correctly transparency does some nasty tricks to text and other objects when rasterized due to the dot gain. Alter your tranparency flattener preset so that it outlines vectors and text, that might just...
