hmm… well if you could zip and email just the InDesign file, maybe I could see something different.
Perhaps the objects were rotated initially in the layout and the output was saved as portrait?
You can use kelly@thumbslinger.com if you want to send a page of the document.

We had new monitors that allowed us to rotate the view and adjusted the mouse accordingly.
But, though a novel idea, it was really a novelty!
Unless I’m missing something, you’re going to have to changed the size of the Document Layout and then rotate content.
I would Select All, Group, change Document Layout the select the content and rotate it 90/-90 depending on how it’s oriented.
That will have the 90 degrees remembered, but then you just print on landscape.

You got it.. make a PMS color swatch (so it will appear on it’s own plate” and call it Spot varnish. Create a new page in the document. Copy and paste everything that is to receive the varnish. Apply the color to everything. Just use solid boxes/shapes for photos, type colored in that color and such. Apply drop shadows in the same color if you are hitting drop shadows.
Feathered edges can sometimes be tricky depending on how the operator runs the varnish, but you can achieve nice results.

That’s a nice one!

Thanks…. I just checked under the Configure Viewport and I have “Show safe frames” selected, but that’s the only option I can find that remotely relates.
I’m using C4d V 8.5
What you said makes total sense, now I just need to find where to show safe zones!

We’ve had the same problem. What we usually do is just save back to Quark 5 and then save from Quark 5 down to quark 4.
It’s a hassle but seems to work better than plug-ins and utitlities, or at least as good.
I haven’t played with the new Quark 7 beta, but maybe even the demo could save back further?
Though not real feasible with long docs or intricate graphics integration, selecting all copy in Quark and exporting as .rtf has kept all styles applied when then imported into InDesignCS/2. Or actually, Save Text As then choosing rich text format.
The style sheets themselves don’t come in, but all coloring/hypenation/justification settings are retained.

Any elements placed on the master page in InDesign are automatically locked. You have to release the particular item(s) so that you can edit the contents.

No. The other myth with Photoshop is that you can’t have crisp type. Anything saved at 300 dpi or higher and output at 100% of the dimensions will output as good as vector.
Unless you take a magnifying glass to the piece. Within reason. So many gripe about ‘fuzzy type’ but 10 times out of 10 they’re outputting at something other than 100%.
For photos it’s a little different. You can usually output up to 115% without seeing any major changes.
I always allude to Eric Johnson (the guitarist) who talks about being able to perceive a differece in sound quality when using a guitar cable tipped with gold rather than chrome.
It can get a little pedantic and silly. If one has to hold something up to ones nose to see ‘if’ it’s any good, they have far larger areas of concern than the quality of an image!
But, directly related to jpeg at high compression, you can only save an image once with high compression. So many forget that each time you resave a document as a jpeg, the compression increases so that’s where you could actually start having perceived artifacts with a setting of 12 in Photoshop….after resaving an image multiple times.

Well, I just found that I could select the text spline and choose Intermediate points to be ‘Adaptive’ and then choose 0 percent for the angle and that helped.
Unless there’s something else, I’m good with that..kj
