    Custom batch rename

    I have a few hundred photos that are listed by ISBN13 numbers. They all start with 978. Is there a way to keep the name the same except remove the 978 at the beginning? I'm open to suggestions outside of Photoshop. Thanks

    Text wrap stopped working

    I have various images with text wrap on. Then I rearrange the pages and the text wrap stops working. It still says I have text wrap on, but it's no longer working. The text is now flowing behind the image. Why? How do I fix this? I've tried turning text wrap off and back on. I also turned it...

    Direct to plate from PDF

    Is it common for printers to request that PDFs be supplied as separated files when they go direct to plate? A few years ago I worked for a print broker and we'd send files to all our printers as composite file and they'd separate it. Now the last 2 printers I've worked with have both asked that...

    Separated PDFs

    How do I make separated PDFs directly from Indesign? I've been printing postscript files that are separated and running them thru Distiller, but I'd really like to go the direct route if possible.

    Change paragraph style

    Is there a way to delete a paragraph style and have everything in that style replaced with another paragraph style? I have imported text that uses Heading 1 for some heads, and Heading 2 for others, but I want all of them to be Heading 1. How do I do that? Do I have to go to Microsucks Word...

    Flowing text to pages using multiple masters

    I'm going to import a document that will be about 60+ pages long. I have 5 different master pages I'm using. I'd like to make page 1 based on Master A, p. 2 based on Master B, etc. Then I'd like to bring the text in and have it auto flow from page to page. But what it does is autoflow thru page...

    Linking multiple text boxes

    How come the link tool only lets me link one text box at a time? I have 8 boxes that I need to link, so I select the link tool, click box 1, then box 2, then the icon turns into a pointer tool. This means I keep having to re-select the link tool each time. This is in Quark 6.0 on a Mac

    Quark value error

    When I open my document in Quark 6 (on a Mac - OS 10.3.9) it says "This value must be between 1 and 999. The closest allowable value will be used. [303]" Then it opens the file just fine. What is it talking about and how do I fix it?

    Quark 6 master pages

    I need to create about 5 master pages for a book. There are certain elements that will be the same to all of them such as a color bar and page numbers. If I have to change one of those elements, I'd like to be able to change it globally, not have to make the same change to each master. Like in...

    Best backup method

    I have a home based business and don't have a good plan for backups. Right now I just occasionally go thru my computer and copy stuff onto CDs. I want to get Retrospect to do automatic backups but I don't think it will work to use CDs for daily backups. What should I get? A tape drive or another...

    Import Quark tagged text

    I have a bunch of files tagged for Quark that I'd like to import into Indesign. When I import them, the formatting is gone. Any way to do this?

    Download problems

    I can't seem to download things I'm trying to buy online. For instance, iTunes. I can browse the website & listen to samples, but when I try to redeem a gift card, it ignores me and does nothing when I click the redeem button. If I try to buy music it gives me an unknown error when I try to log...

    Printing PDF problem

    I send a monthly newsletter to a really low quality print shop for printing. I make a high res PDF from InDesign. They just got some new HP printer that burns plates. The problem is that this new printer puts faint gray boxes around eps files (logos, clip art). Is there something I can do to fix...

    Print watermarks on both pages of spread

    I'm using Quark 4.11 and making PDFs by printing to a PDF file. It has an open for a custom watermark on each page under page setup, but it's considering the spread to be 1 page instead of 2. I want a watermark in the center of every page, not the center of the spread. Any ideas how to do this?

    Output problems for print shop?

    Hi - I have 9 InDesign docs with a total of 350+ photos in them. Some photos are 3.5" tall, some are 1.5" tall. Problem is, the tiffs are all mixed together. So, I was thinking of running a Photoshop batch on everything to make them 3.5" tall (they're all at least that big now). Then I'd shrink...

    Is there backward compatibility yet?

    Did Adobe ever fix this very PITA issue? I have a client that uses ID 2 and I have ID CS (I also own the 2.0 version but I'm used to the sidebar menus now). I'd like to use CS and be able to save back to 2 when I return the files to her. Any chance of that happening?

    Quark 4.11 Master page question

    I'm setting up master pages with 5 linked text boxes and 1 photo box on facing pages. Left & right are mirrored layouts. If I use the preference "keep changes" to master pages, when I switch a page from being left to right (or right to left), I get all these new boxes under the text and photo...

    Improve output quality

    I'm creating newsletters with b/w photos in it. For some reason, the photos look awful when printed by the printer (they are 300dpi and look fine if I print them to my printer). He used a 100 line screen. I told him to use 85 next time because the photos almost look like they were xeroxed (not...

    Strange boxes around email addresses

    When I import text from Word using the keep formatting setting (which I want), I get a box around anything that is an email address or web site. I can't seem to get rid of it. Any ideas what to do?

    InDesign vs. Quark facts

    Can anyone point me to a news article that says what percent of the market indesign has vs. quark? I'm trying to convince a client that it will be fine if I use Indesign to create their books. They never open the files in-house. It goes from me to the printer. But they're worried that if I...
