Re-Amping is the answer. Most often done with guitars, you take the clean signal and run it through an amp/speaker and re-record it. Typically looking for a certain amp/speaker combo, while in this situation you’re looking for ambience/effect.

Congratulations. Your mac has 2 chips, each of which have 4 processors embedded. Welcome to the new Intel processors. They are able to handle two threads at the same time. So you are correct in seeing 16 processes.

It is still text. Highlight the section you want with your text tool and change the color to the black swatch.

I would make a new document the exact size you want the resulting file to be. Then place the first page of your “too big” document in it. Resize the file appropriately to fit the new dimensions. Now, duplicate that page. Select the container for the file and place the next page (with “Replace Selected Item” checked). It will retain the attributes of the resized file. Do this 48 more times. Should only take about 3 minutes once you get the hang of it.

This requires that you have some item on the page that uses transparency though. So setup a small box somewhere with a stroke or fill of 0.1% black AND 0.1% Opacity (in the Effects palette).
In addition, you can set security features in the pdf output dialog box. Check the allow printing, but don’t allow editing.

Yes, this is called “Data Merge” in InDesign. It is under the “Window>Automation” menu. If you first setup text boxes in Indy to store the data, it will retain the attributes you set for that text box (font size, font type, color, etc…). I’m not sure of any specific tutorials on this, but research “data merge” and I’m sure you’ll find something. (Check the help files too, they are actually quite helpful.)

Use the tabs feature.
Type “date” and then press the tab key.
Now, goto the “Type>Tabs” menu
In the little box that appears, first click once above the number to set a tab position. Next, in the “Leader:” box type the character you wish to proceed your tab, in this case an underscore “_” and then press the tab key again. Now you can drag your tab position (the little arrow) along the ruler to set the length of your line.Tech-T Productions

One more thing, since you are moving from Quark, check out this link
https://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1323250
Its an excerpt from a book about transitioning from Quark to Indy. Should provide some helpful insight.

Also in your Indy Preferences (Unit & Increment), you can specify the “X” amount that an arrow press will move an object. (Keyboard Increments > Cursor Key:) The default is 1 point (~0.0139in).

shift + arrow = 10x
arrow = x
cmd(mac) + shift + arrow = 1/10xSince you said “alt”, I assume you are on PC. Maybe try “ctrl” instead of “cmd”.
