Binding in indesign
how can I change the binding in indesign CC from right sided to left sided?
If you need right binding, it is not only the binding you will need. You will need both, LTR and RTL text on level of Story, Paragraph, Word, Character, Numbers seperately.
Since the Cloud you have access to InDesign in several languages. InDesign is a strictly plugin based program. That means, if you, say English-Hebrew, English-Arab, English-International and some Asia versions and a German version install, you will get all theses language features due to the plugins additional. (It would not work in Illustrator.)
If several versions are installed on the same place, InDesign will always start the language version of your Operating System. I have here German, so it will start in German. (I could force to start it in a different language, either by installing it only in that language, or by changing the language settings in the OS or with some tools, like Tinker Tools Systems which can force a program to a different installed language.)
But because I have installed InDesign on my computer in several languages, German, English International, English with Hebrew support and English with Arabic support, I have these additional functionality, more menus, more fonts, etc.
Here is for example the new document dialog, which adds a binding button:
To install a program in a different language, you have to got to the Creative Cloud Application, CC.app (named THOR), go to the preferences and choose the language of the applications, then install them, then change the language again, install them again, it will be installed on the very same place.

Looking for someone to do paid scripting work
Hey,
I'm in a bit of a bind with InDesign scripting - I've got a huge amount of it to do in very little time. I've hired someone on Elance who claims to know about Extendscript etc to help me, but I am slightly dubious. I thought coming to the Adobe forums might be a good idea, as you guys will probably know what you are talking about!
Is there anyone around here offering scripting services for pay? It's quite an interesting project, automating the production of a certain type of book. I am fairly proficient in scripting myself after having written a script to do a similar thing last year, but simply can't deal with the amount of work I have.
I'm looking for someone who really knows InDesign and scripting inside out and who would be able to advise me on best practice, rather than the current situation where I'm instructing someone fairly unskilled how to do things the way I've just sort of 'worked them out'.
Apologies if this is in the wrong place; I'm pretty desperate!
Thanks,
DanThere's a lot of very qualified folks here on this forum.
The big question is what's the scope of the project as well as time restrains.
I, for example would not be able to look at any sizeable project for at least a month.
Give some more details on what's involved, and someone will probably be able to help...

Can I Globally Bind Fields in InDesign CS6 Forms?
I'm used to using LiveCycle Designer to create forms, where I had a great deal of control over how the forms would look and feel and could create very complex interactivity. Particularly useful was the ability to create form fields that would repeat information throughout the rest of the form through global bindings.
Because I'm now trying to create forms for use on mobile devices, I want to create that same level of interactivity in InDesign CS6. Anyone have any advice on how I can go about doing this?
Thanks in advance.InDesign is only giving you access to the features of Acrobat (Acro forms). Acrobat has some features not accessible from within InDesign.
There is no feature in either InDesign or in Acrobat called "global binding" for Acro forms that I'm aware of.
Your best bet is asking questions about Acro forms in the Acrobat Forms forum. -

Cannot find "Binding Direction" in InDesign CS6
I have InDesign CS6 for Mac. I need to build a document that binds right-to-left ("Bind Right"). Online it says that I can do this by using "Binding Direction" in the Document Setup Dialog but that dialog does NOT show "Binding Direction." Do I need to have some kind of "International Version" I don't have?
AlexI can change the binding direction using a script like this:
Copy the text and save with jsx extension and put in the scripts directory:
var myDocument = app.documents.item(0);
with(myDocument){
main ();
function main ()
try
if (documentPreferences.pageBinding == PageBindingOptions.rightToLeft)
documentPreferences.pageBinding = PageBindingOptions.leftToRight
else
documentPreferences.pageBinding = PageBindingOptions.rightToLeft
catch (_){}
Or You change your Indesign CS6 for CS6-ME (middle east) -
Bind plug-in to Adobe InDesign CC version?
Hello community,
we want to develop and sell a plug-in for Adobe InDesign.
Some questions: It is possible to bind the plug-in for a Adobe InDesign CC version (I suppose Adobe CC is still 9.0). If a newer internal version (maybe 10.0) is available, the plugin must be licensed again. If Yes: how often (probably) does Adobe release a new internal Adobe InDesign CC version?
Is there any information about this on the Adobe website?
thanks
regards,
Raymond@Raymond – current version of InDesign CC is v9.1, released sometime in October 2013, next version, presumably v9.2 will be released in about a week*. Offically Adobe does not give dates of release or version numbering in advance. At least not publicly.
Are you part of the prerelease program?
If not, have a try:

Is there an ETA for an InDesign CC performance fix?

New to inDesign - looking for help with creating booklets
Looking for a tutorial/answer on how to set up my book so that the pages can be printed, folded in half (like a brochure/magazine) so that I can bind the pages myself in a book. Not sure if my page size would be what I want the finished book size to be or if I need to double the page width setup size, because I will be folding them in half to put the book together. I know there must be a magic button as well that will sort the pages and keep them in the right order, once I fold them. Does this make sense to anyone?

Hello,
I am exporting from InDesign to a PDF and the page is larger in the PDF then others I have exported. Is this because of the PDF presents? One of the project managers is not able to print it out on 8.5 x 11 paper, but the document presets for InDesign are the same as before. I wish I could upload the PDFs to show, but the newly exported PDF is larger than the version I created a month ago. I created a PDF binder and the newly updated PDF is almost a .5 inch wider with the same export presets. Any thoughts?Sadira00123456789 wrote:

I suspect the project manager simply has his/her copy of Reader/Acrobat set to print at actual size, rather than "Fit" (assuming the InDesign page size is truly 8.5 x 11).
..the newly updated PDF is almost a .5 inch wider with the same export presets.
It would have nothing to do with export presets. How are you determining that half-inch difference? -
Can't print in indesign (icc's) and can't export pdf for PS - booklet workflow?
I have a book of artwork i've laid out in indesign and am trying to print before binding it. All attempted workflows have been thwarted so far - any help is truly appreciated.
a) printing with a canon pro9000 mark II:
Not possible. I've read into it, done plenty of tests and nothing comes close to a print of the same image from photoshop.
My problems - i can't disable canons color management when having indesign manage colors. The canon presests never grey out (as they do in ps) out and always (seemingly) apply their own icc profile in addition.
Possible solution (which comes close to but doesn't match my ps prints):
Disable indd's color management in edit>color_settings (emulate..off) (printer profile in indd's print settings becomes empty and unavailable) and have canon manage color under printer>color_matching>color_sync>my paper's profile.
This solution is not ideal so i want to export a booklet for ps instead. Here thwarting nr.2:
b) osx Lion - can't export indesign document booklet as a pdf.
I've read other posts on this and there are workarounds through postscript but then i'd have to convert everything to cmyk if i understood this right. Not good.
Is there any way to print my book in indesign or get it into photoshop as a booklet? Ideally with the text still intact rather than flattened into an image?
I know there might not be answers to the specific issues above but i was hoping anybody could if not help me then suggest an alternative workflow. All i want to do is print my book reliably with icc profiles. Is this really not possible?
Thank you so much and all help is truely appreciated!
Cheers,
Danny
(i had a former post with a. as a topic which i will delete to avoid redundancy. Also - please forgive if this has been discussed before and point me in the right direction. Last not least i have read most threads on the topic so while a former topic might have dealt with my problems it's solution - by my understanding - didn't work for me. Example: postscript for pdf because of cmyk. At the same time i fully acknowledge i might just have not fully understood the solution. Thanks!)I can't help with your color proplem -- don't know the printer -- but you can use a script to impose your booklet in a new file, then export that to PDF.
The two I use are by Dave Saunders. The first, http://pdsassoc.com/downloads/Buildbooklet.zip merely shuffles the pages in a new file. You then export that as spreads. It's very fast and easy, but cannot handle objects that cross the spine.
The second is at Dave's CS3 Booklet Script and works by placing pages into a new spread-size document. This one does do cross-spine objects, but neither one handles creep. It's been awhile since I used either, but I think bleeds may be an issue for the second script, too.
There are also imposing plugins for Acrobat... -

New to InDesign: things I need to know before starting my 200-page book?
Hi there (second time attempting to post this; sorry if both somehow end up on the discussion page—this version is my most recent)—
I'd practically completed a 180-page cookbook—lots of photos and recipes, instructions and comments—in Apple Pages ('cause I'm on a Mac and Pages seemed pretty straightforward) when I realized that not being able to see the book in a facing-pages view was completely ridiculous. So I'm trying InDesign, and already I can see that this is THE app for what I'm doing. I purchased a hard copy of the InDesign Classroom in a Book 2014 book, which I'm slowly going through... but I'm so incredibly eager and going page by page is so slow. I will keep going through the book, but in the meantime, would people on this forum mind making sure I'm starting off on the right foot? (I don’t want to get too far along and then discover that I should have been doing things completely differently).
Question One: Many of my pages will be for recipes, of course—name of the dish at the top (white text on a black background), photo below, and below that the list of ingredients and the instructions. So should I create a Master Page just for recipes? That would seem to make sense, as all of the recipes will be organized on the page in the same way. But what about all the other parts of the book (Preface, Table of Contents, various pages of commentary, pages of photos, etc.) that are different from one another?
Should I create other Master Pages for other parts of the book?
Question Two: given that I’m planning to have all the pages printed at a printing house, and then bound into book form… should all my ‘left-hand’ Master Pages leave an extra wide margin on the right (to account for the part of the page that’s bound/glued) and, similarly, should all my right-hand Master Pages leave extra room on the left? How much extra room do I need for this?
Question Three: I really don't know enough about InDesign to even know what other question to ask, so maybe I'm safest to ask this: are there settings I should 'build in' now, so I don't find myself trying to do it later, when it's much more difficult? As I say, I'm going to keep struggling with the book (so many lessons seem to have nothing to do with my particular project, but I know I have to keep plugging away). I do want to get my cookbook off on the right foot though.
Thanks so much for any advice,
MalcolmPresumable the book will be divided into sections (chapters) to make it more accessible. (1) front matter – title page, imprint/copyright, TOC etc. these tend not to have pages numbers (2) Individual chapters – e.g. Starters, Main courses, Puddings, Drinks (3) back matter e.g Index.
The simplest approach is to have page numbers on your master page with running headers – that is the name of the book at the top of the left hand page and the name of each chapter on the right hand page, and guides for the repeating elements.
Produce and print out a couple of specimen pages of the recipe pages to see how your design looks and how easy it is read/use and how you will allow in the design for short and long menu headings and recipes etc. Use paragraph, character and object styles in your design. You wouldn't need extra space for perfect binding, look at similar books of the same trimmed pages size to see what kind of margins they have.
The cover artwork should be produced as a separate document as it will be printed separately on heavier stock.
Check you have an economical page size for printing (talk to your printer) discuss the paper you might choose and how many pages in a printed section. Also what kind of PDF s/he wants. -
Matching Raster and Vector RGB color in InDesign CS3.
We print on a Durst Lambda RGB imaging device to photographic paper. All color management is done as an early bind (raster files are converted to the printer's color space and vector colors are chosen from a palette database). So basically the files must go through InDesign without any color change in raster or vector information. We have clients that require specific RGB builds for logo colors the are present in both their raster and vector files.
Color Management is set to "North American General Purpose 2" with "RGB: Preserve Embedded Profiles" selected.
1) The file is exported as a PDF 1.4, High Quality, PDF/X_None.
2) The PDF was ripped on a Cheetah RIP (Jaws level 3) with no color management on.
3) Solid raster colors such as 0-255-0 will reproduce as 0-255-1.
4) The color differences between the raster and vector are usually 1-4 points.
5) The vector is consistent as was input in the programit's only the raster that changes. When you are trying to match raster and vectors logo colors it is a killer.
However, I can go into the InDesign (or Illustrator) color settings and turn color management off (This is our current workflow). In doing this the RGB working space uses the monitor profile and "color management policies" are set to OFF. With these settings the RGB raster and vector match. The problem with this work flow is two fold:
1) We have other devices than our RGB Durst Lambda that can use the InDesign color managementVutek flat bed 3200 and grand format 3360.
2) We have had many occurrences where the custom "color management off" settings have reverted back to the default "North American General Purpose 2"without any intervention.
I have tried this with different RIP's with the same results.
Does anyone have an idea to create a simple PDF workflow and keep the color information consistent?
Program: InDesign CS3 5.0.2
Platform: Mac OS 10.5.2
Computer: G5 tower with 4 gigs of RAMI believe that setting is an old Illustrator setting that has been saved to effectively turn the color management off. The monitor profile effects the image displayedit doesn't effect the color transform.
Anyway, the color management I want to use is the "North American General Purpose 2".
To reiterate:
The procedure:
1) The file is exported as a PDF 1.4, High Quality, PDF/X_None.
2) The PDF was ripped on a Cheetah RIP (Jaws level 3) with no color management on.
The Problem:
3) Solid raster colors such as 0-255-0 will reproduce as 0-255-1It changes from the original raster color placed in InDesign.
4) The color differences between the raster and vector are usually 1-4 points.
5) The vector is consistent as was input in the programit's only the raster that changes. When you are trying to match raster and vectors logo colors it is a killer.
To summarize, the color of the raster file will change from the original that was place into the documenteven though nothing was selected in InDesign that would change the color (i.e. profile conversion to an output profile or a transparency effect used). The change is slightbut there. -
Indesign CS4- how can I create a document with more 10 pages?
Hi,
I have just begun to practise with Indesign. I want to create a tale with 22 pages. My question is how?
At the moment it's half solved, because I have done 10 sheets and each is 2 pages, but I need 2 more.
When I want to add more pages, alert message advise me that's no possible. The maxium is 10.
Thisaction have donetrough page menu.
Do it exist any trick?

How is the procedure forediting maestra page? I want to add number page, a headline.
Urgent! It's a delivery extra urgenT!
Thanks a lotI'm not sure if I understand the way your document is set up currently. It sounds to me like you have created single InDesign pages that each contain a two-page spread for your finished document. This is not a good method for laying out anything longer than will fit on the front and back of a single sheet of paper.
Instead you should be making your InDesign document using the "facing pages" option and setting the page size the same as the folded size of the finished booklet. If you have color that bleeds, add a bleed allowance in the document setup dialog (click the show more options dialog). When your booklet is printed the pages need to be arranged back cover/front cover, inside front/inside back, page last/page 1 and so forth so they appear inthe correct order after binding. This is easily automated if the pages are separate, but if they start out on the same sheet it is up to you to get the order right from the beginning, and it is difficult to do design work in printer's spreads layout. Keeping pages in consecutinive order allows you to design in the same view that your readers will see.
I'm not sure what the error message about the limit of 10 is, but it sounds like you are trying to make a single spread for the whole document. You can have a maximum of 10 pages in a single spread. The question is why do you want so many pages next to each other? Does the document fold out this way? A "normal" book uses many two-page spreads. You can add pages normally by dragging a master page icon into the live page area in the panel, or using the "insert pages" command from the panel menu.
To edit a master page, double-click its name. Add your page number in a text frame by inserting a "current page marker" special character in the frame.

Is There an Easier Way to Save a PDF for Perfect Binding?
I've always had this problem whenever I do a booklet or magazine that will end up perfect bound: I have my document setup in CS6 with "facing pages" so I can easily design spreads with images and backgrounds that span both pages. Usually, when it prints, it's saddle stitched, so I don't mind if the inside edge has contents from the other page since they will print next to each other anyway. When I've done perfect bound booklets in the past, I've always unchecked "facing pages" and manually duplicated and moved the image that span the entire spread to cover both pages. However, I'm currently working on a 48-page magazine and I really don't feel like doing this... specifically for fear of missing something and overlooking it so that it prints wrong.
Here are some examples:
This first one obviously has one background image that spans both pages of the spread
However, when I try to separate the pages. My same right-hand page now has no background. A good majority of the magazine is laid out this way.
Similarly, this spread with 2 full-page ads have no bleed on the inside margin for proofing purposes. If it were saddle stitched, I wouldn't give a second thought I'd just let the auto bleed pull image from the other ad. Who cares? They're going to be right next to each other anyway. But, since we're going the perfect-bound route, I need for each ad to have full bleed on all 4 sides. Is it just my neuroticism? The inside edge will be glued amongst 47 other pages. Will anyone ever notice that sliver of white, black, and red from the Sarge ad nestled in the spine when they're viewing the Sunrise Detox ad is the cutting is off?
I know you can do the "shuffle pages" thing to help with the ads, but I'm just hoping there's an easier way; a checkbox... something! C'mon, Adobe! You're #1 in the design industry and it's so difficult to work around the facing-pages-full-bleed issue. I know I'm not very advanced with my InDesign experience. But if after several years, many booklets, a few magazines, and a couple version upgrades, I'd like to think I would've found an easier way to do this. You know, kinda like how your new liquid pages features. That would be tremendous if something similar could be implemented for people in printing to quickly change between design spreads, proof spreads, and printing single pages!
Thanks in advance for any help!!
~CoralIf you have facing pages, you have to set up the document with facing pages that is what is it for. If you have a spreadwide design as above, keep the spreads together. There is not even one reason not to do so.
Only for wire-O-bindings might a different workflow useful, but also with facing pages documents and only when the left page and the right page have not a spread wide design:
//// I did one mistake, I created a doument with a right binding, but it would work the same way with left binding.)
1. Create a document with Facing Pages.
2. Select the Spread in the Page Panel (Window > Page Panel) and in the panel’s flyout menu deselect "Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle". The spread’s page number will appear in brackets.
3. Select a single page of the spread and drag it to the side until a vertical bar appears.
4. Now you have the result.
Left and right pages have their own spread and will have a bleed around each page without taking information from the other page. -
Adobe Acrobat and InDesign documents print once only
Hi,
Printing a 100 page 25 sheet imposed 8.5 x 14 Adobe Acrobat document is limited to only one copy. At the end of the first copy printing; printer stops and requests letter-size paper, for drawer one,
printer default is set for 8.5 x 14 and first print ran from drawer 2.
Older CS 2 imposed files, printed from IDCS2 still print multiple copies on HP 4200 duplex. The new Adobe work flow for page imposition yields a pdf file to be printed from Adobe Acrobat.
OS is 10.5.8 iMac duo core intel.
Work flow is Adobe InDesign CS5 book > flight test clear > .pdf > open with Acrobat 9.3.2 > impose with Quite Imposing > save imposed pdf > prints only one at a time
then printer stops and asks for different paper size in different drawer.
Specifically : Prints one copy means 25 sheets duplex is completed perfectly, starting the next set of 25 sheets (one document copy) is when the printer stops and asks for different paper from different drawer.
note : Evidence points to the printing control panel of CS 5.
Older imposed Adobe InDesign CS2 document opened by InDesign CS5 also will only print one document copy of 25 sheets±. Attempting to over-ride the Adobe InDesign CS5 panel for printing by selecting four copies there does not help. In other words, printing an old InDesign file from InDesign CS5 yields the same problem as printing a new InDesign CS5 imposed, saved as pdf and printed from Adobe Acrobat 9.3
Adobe forums report similar unsolved printing problems with InDesign CS4. I'm going to post this in Snow Lepord as well since my laptop has 10.6.
Suggestions ?
GarrettHi kostby,
I'm sure you completely answered my question, I only checked helpful because my own thick skull is blocking a full appreciation of your brilliant insight.
Sadly, I'm away from my printer for another couple of weeks, even so, this shouldn't stop me from understanding what you are saying a little better.
I downloaded and went through the file from HP and it looks to me like the obvious default HP position is one copy. Am I clear in assuming from this, and your explanation, that the CS5 software engineer has overridden my command to print four ? I am making this assumption because the default is for long edge binding and I select short-edge legal-size duplex with legal size being my default size for the printer. Thus, the change in paper size and drawer location remains a mystery.
I often print four to five copies because that is a convenient stack for my aging cutter, any number greater than one is nice because I can avoid being in the room with the printer and breathing ink dust.
I am not sure how to send the print job to a file so I can open it with BBEdit and inspect the specific commands, this is very interesting to me. Though I'm at this point without the full skill set to master using this great knowledge. Also, over the years, I've found that I don't fully retain lessons once learned but rarely used, but that's a different and perhaps personal problem.
Thank you very much,
Garrett
