Is there a way to do a contour in InDesign? For instance, in a Draw package you can draw a rectangle and do an inside contour so the inside box is the same distance around the perimeter to the outside box. I feel like this should be easily done in InDesign but can't seem to get it. Reducing a...

I'm using InDesign cs1. I can't find the breakframe script. Is this for CS2? In only see a plugin of incopy export on the install disk. Where can I get the breakframe script?

In PageMaker I had no problem breaking up text threads. I would just click on a section with pointer tool, cut and paste in place and text dethreaded. I would like to do the same thing in InDesign but since it uses text frames, all I can do is highlight the text, make a new text frame and paste...

Thanks Eggles. I did figure that out after some guesswork. (Not the most intuitive approach). I appreciate your response. Dave

Haven't used this feature much, but I assumed if I could output a 4up document using a single data base with each page outputting 4 different entries (page 1 would have entries 1-4; page 2 entries 4-8, etc.) Is this correct? It doesn't preview like that when I click on Multiple entries feature...

Suddenly when I tab to create email the cursor does not hard return to the next box down...it just tabs over in the same box. What happened? How do I get it to tab down again? Thanks.

Thanks Samaba. That is not an intuitive function and I would have never figured it out. Why did they change that from the intuitive file menu option in ver 5??? I appreciate the helps. Dave

When I rotate my pdf in Reader 6 pro it doesn't save the view. It keeps going back to the original orientation. This never happened in ver 5. In 5 when I rotated and saved it it kept the new orientation. I even tried save as but same thing happened. What's up with that? Am I not doing something...

THAT'S IT! Thanks so much. I tried it using the Distiller printer instead of the postscript option and it worked as well as long as I clicked "Select all" and High Resolution in the Advanced Menu. I don't think High Resolution alone does it cause I tried that before. The "Select all" is the key...

I use the postscript printer as you suggested instead of the Distiller printer and the ppd for Distiller (press ready). Still get the same fuzziness low res look. In Pagemaker when you print to file a composite, you can change default frequency to 133. In InDesign when you print a composite you...

I'm using InDesign CS for pc. Why is it that the export pdf generated is different from the one I get when I print to file? When I print to file, my Distiller is set to press ready, the same as the settings in the menu when I export. However the pdf Tif images always look like 100 line screen...

If the PCL driver can not interpret the Encapsulated PostScript, why does it interpret it from InDesign documents?

My issue is that the eps images do not print to the pcl. The eps images printed when we had a fiery rip. If the eps images print from InDesign, why not from PageMaker? I want to print eps images directly from PM...I don't want to make pdfs or import in InDesign. Is there a plug-in to correct...

We recently bought a Canon 550 PCL copier. Although my InDesign files with postscript run fine when I rip to it, my older PageMaker files do not. I know I can convert the PageMaker files to InDesign but I prefer not to. Is there a plugin for PageMaker 7 where I can cue to the Canon and it will...

OK, I see the Userboot file on the Rip workstation and when I open it as a text file gives me an area to add info I assume to change the default but I need to know exactly what to key in there (codes as well). There are no copy lines like the ppd that give me settings to change. When I open...

Thanks Chuck for replying. I print directly to the rip. I use different software, different formats including pdfs but I don't use a hot folder. Where exactly is the USER BOOT file you are referring to? Is it the software on my server or work station? Sorry, I really don't know. Dave

Great. So say I edited the res in the ppd and saved as another ppd, how exactly do I use it in InDesign? When I click on the agfa, the ppd associated with the printer is the old ppd and I can't change it like in PageMaker. Do I have to move the old one so that InDesign only recognizes the new one?

Thanks John & Duncan for responding. I know I can distill a pdf. Getting the job done is really not the issue. I find PageMaker very compatible with our Agfa and I can always send directly from the pdf or place in PageMaker to get results I want.(I know it is old software but it hasn't lost its...

I'm just trying to change the resolution / linescreen default in the Accuset 1500 Plus processor through the Agfa Apolgee pdf rip. The default is 1200 / 85line and I want the default changed to 2400 / 133 line (my InDesign CS just does not override the defaults of the ppd). I'm guessing I can...

Thanks Marcus. Didn't try the in-rip seps before and that looks like what I need. You were a big help!
