How do I add to a pdf created through InDesign?

I want to add some more text to a book cover that someone else created in InDesign. They only gave me a pdf. What's the best way to do it? Also, the new text has to be a specific yellow Pantone color.
Thank you!

Place that PDF in a new InDesign document and add your text over the top of it... To create the specific yellow colour use the swayches panel and menu.

How can I add a swf flipbook created in InDesign to a Muse website?

I'm new to Muse. I'd like to add a simple swf flipbook to a site. Any clues would be helpful.

Hi Gweedo68!
When exporting the. swf file from InDesign, make sure you check the 'Generate HTML File' option to generate the HTML codes. Open the HTML page in an HTML editor and copy the code in the <body> section
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<noscript>
This content requires the Adobe Flash Player.
<a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer/">Get Flash</a>
</noscript>
You can ignore the <noscript>...</noscript> portion if you like. It's basically a code telling people that they need to have Adobe Flash Player installed in order to view the flipbook.
Then go to Muse. Object > Insert HTML to paste the HTML code into Muse. Adjust your page dimensions accordingly and you should be good to go. Please make sure the .swf file is in the same directory as this Muse page or update the path within the pasted code if you decide to store the .swf file elsewhere. You might also need to upload both files (HTML page and .swf file) to a server to preview the actual content.
Hope this helps

PDF (created in Indesign CS4) separates in CMYK, in stead of PMS

I have sent a PDF, created in Indesign CS4, to the printer. I need the design to be printed in PMS colors, but the printer says the PDF color separates in CMYK, not PMS colors.
I'm at my wits end trying to find where I went wrong (I should add I'm a beginner at all this). I need help...
Here's what I did:
I have changed the colors in a CMYK based design of a business card to PMS colors. I have changed the colors of an Illustrator file that is used in the design to PMS colors as well.
When I look at the separations preview it looks fine, only PMS colors.
I then created a PDF, using the [High Quality Print] Adobe PDF preset. In Output Color Conversion is set to 'No Color Conversion'. In the Ink Manager 'All spots to process' is not checked. CMYK inks are visible in the Ink Manager, but so are the Pantone Inks I used.
I noticed one strange thing, the swatch options for Pantone Process Cyan C are different thatn those in other PMS colors, the Colortype is 'spot' but the Color Mode is CMYK, greyed out so that I can't change it to Pantone Solid Coated. Even weirder, I can't delete that strange swatch. I tried adding the pantone colors to my swatches again, in a different file, I added Pantone Cyan C and it looked fine, but when I reopened the swatch options it was strange again.

Yes, I have added cropmarks and page info to the pdf.
I checked the separations in Acrobat Pro with a friend. Both Pantone colors and CMYK show up. When I disable the CMYK, nothing of the design disappears (cropmarks and page info don't disappear either, they seem to be in both Pantone and CMYK).
I saved a new pdf, without crops and page info, and CMYK still shows up in the separations.
I'll contact the printer tomorrow, I'm pretty sure he should be able to use the file I sent him.
Thank you all for your help!

How do I save a booklet I created in InDesign?

How do I save a booklet I created in InDesign?

Officially, no. But there is a trick to do that: you print the booklet to a .ps file and later convert it to .pdf.
Go to Print Booklet, Print Set Up and define the printer as PostScript File. You may need to adjust print configurations accordingly the PPD you use. After that, just Print the booklet. InDesign will ask for name and place to save the .ps file.
In Mac, you can convert this .ps with Preview. Open the .ps file and choose Save As (hold Option key to turn Save into Save As command). Of course, you can also use Acrobat Pro or several other apps which can convert .ps files to .pdf, available on both Mac and Windows.
Besides this, you can export the normal pdf from InDesign and then impose it using another app. In Mac, I like very much PDF Clerk Pro, from Sintraworks, as it is a powerful PDF editor at a reasonable price. In Windows, there is Quite Imposing, a very powerful (although expensive) plug-in to Acrobat Pro. I do not remember the name of stand-alone imposing apps for Windows, but I am sure there were at least two.

Two page display of pdf created in InDesign CS4 js

Hi, I need to set page desplay for pdf created in InDesign to two page view and I couldn't find anything like that in OMV. I assume it will be setting preferances for Matadata. Would you be able to help me.
Thank you.
Yulia

@Yulia:
You can set all "open"-options with Acrobat Pro and you can automate this with a batch process under "Advanced => Document Processing => Batch Processing".
Also there is a way to do that through pdfmark instructions inside a placed EPS. Documentation for doing a "Two-Up (Cover page)" with pdfmarks is not available in the pdfmarkReference_v9.pdf for the PageLayout-tag. And of course you have to use Distiller to get the pdfmarks working, no chance doing that trick with PDF export.
Here is the pdfmark-code for an EPS you can work with (found and adapted it from the "PostScript & PDF-Bible" by Thomas Merz and Olaf Drümmer):
%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 72 72
%%EndProlog
/pdfmark where {pop} {userdict /pdfmark /cleartomark load put} ifelse
[ {ThisPage} << /Trans << /S /Dissolve >> >> /PUT pdfmark
[ {Catalog} << /PageLayout /TwoColumnRight >> /PUT pdfmark
%%EOF
Save the code as a plain text file with the ".eps" suffix. Place it on any page you want to print of your InDesign layout, write a PostScript file and distill it to pdf. You should get a "Two-Up" view when opening it in Acrobat.
Meanwhile (after doing a little research on the web) it seams that all possible "/PageLayout" parameter pairs are indeed documented, but not in the pdfmarkReference_v9.pdf, but in the PDF32000_2008.pdf on page 73:
SinglePage     Display one page at a time
OneColumn     Display the pages in one column
TwoColumnLeft     Display the pages in two columns, with odd-numbered pages on the left
TwoColumnRight     Display the pages in two columns, with odd-numbered pages on the right
TwoPageLeft     (PDF 1.5) Display the pages two at a time, with odd-numbered pages on the left
TwoPageRight     (PDF 1.5) Display the pages two at a time, with odd-numbered pages on the right
Default value: SinglePage.

The thumbnails/previews of PDFs created in InDesign CC look dull or cloudy in Bridge CC

The thumbnails/previews of PDFs created in InDesign CC look dull or cloudy in Bridge CC. The actual files are fine and open with the correct rich colors, but the colors don't look as vibrant as they should when viewing in Bridge. It's only PDFs that are affected. The InDesign thumbnails/previews display correctly in Bridge.
This was not happening when I was using CS6. This is only a problem since the upgrade to CC.
Any help you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks!

If you're going to mess with the registry
- create a restore point http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ie/windows7/create-a-restore-point
- backup the registry http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/back-up-registry
I absolutely plead with all my heart - don't start changing registry entries unless you know what you're doing - or ask your IT department to take a look.
If you don't have an IT department, then source a good professional that can make these changes.
If any way unsure - then under any circumstances, - do not mess with the registry.

How do I add a book(pdf) into my Kobo app on my iPhone

How can I add books that I want to read to my Kobo app on my iPhone?
How do I add some of my videos into my flex player app or my iMedia player app? If I do add a video which will it play under?

Connect the phone to your computer and click on its icon in your computer's iTunes to select it. Then select the phone's Apps tab, and scroll down the screen to the 'file sharing' section - select the Kobo app on the left-hand side of that part of the iTunes screen, and on the right-hand side add the PDF(s) to the app. Or if the PDFs or epubs are on a website then you might be able to use 'open in' in Safari to copy them to it
If those other apps support the file sharing section then you should be able to use the above to copy videos into them from your computer (you won't be able to play iTunes purchased videos in them ).

Opening a PDF in a specific page from a PDF created in indesign

Hello, I'm working with CS4 and I need you to click on a button, or from a "hyperlink" in a text, open a pdf file but for a given page.
I can not change the target pdf and also I have to access a single pdf into multiple pages, put an example
persone one speaks at the pdf 1, on page 14
person two speaking in pdf 1, on page 15
I wish that when you click on the person 1 opens pdf 1 on page 14, and when you click on the person 2 opens pdf 1 on page 15
Thanks in advance
mateo

Thanks, I had not noticed in the new dialogue coming out. Thank you very much. A greeting.
Muchas gracias
mateo
Rectification
ohhh, no, the page references are to an indesign document, not a PDF
I have not indesign files where you created the PDF to which I have to jump and I can not add bookmarks to pdf, pdf files are protected.

How can I make an editable pdf file from Indesign?

I have created a Indesign dealer catalog for my company and exported it into a interactive PDF for the Engineers to use when helping a customer with ordering. Now they would like to be able to edit the PDF with notes whenever they want. How can they do this?

PDFs are not designed to be editable. Your engineers can make comments using Adobe Reader without any extra steps provided they use the highlight and sticky note comments. If you want them to have access to the full range of comment markup you will need to use Acrobat to apply extended rights to the file.

PDF created in InDesign -Field Visibility Issues in LifeCycle

I am working with pdf versions of brochures created in InDesign/Illustrator etc. I am adding two simple fields to these forms and in the past it has worked easily. I have an image field where a logo can be uploaded and a text field next to it. Behind the image field I have always used another text field visible on screen but not in print That simply states, "place logo here". This A.M. I had an update from Adobe that installed and now if I designate the field as visible on screen, it prints. This is the simplest of forms and I am wondering if I may have inadvertantly changed a setting somewhere along the way that has deactivated this option.

Yes, I have added cropmarks and page info to the pdf.
I checked the separations in Acrobat Pro with a friend. Both Pantone colors and CMYK show up. When I disable the CMYK, nothing of the design disappears (cropmarks and page info don't disappear either, they seem to be in both Pantone and CMYK).
I saved a new pdf, without crops and page info, and CMYK still shows up in the separations.
I'll contact the printer tomorrow, I'm pretty sure he should be able to use the file I sent him.
Thank you all for your help!

Problem when printing from PDF created by InDesign

Ok, here's the scenario!
I have a flyer, created in InDesign. I have drawn a grey curve (in InDesign) which goes at the top of each page.
I import a transparent logo in PSD format, and place it on top of the grey curve.
In InDesign and when I PDF it, it looks fine (at any zoom level).
However when I print it, there is a slight outline around the transparent logo and it has a slightly different shade of grey as its background (it stands out from the curve).
Does anyone know why this could be? I also tried importing the logo with the same grey background as in InDesign but the same problem occurs.
Any help appreciated!

If you can't select composite CMYK it means your printer isn't postscript, or you aren't using the postscript driver option if one is available.
Since this is a printer-related function, not a property of the file itself, you don't want to do anything to your pdf to compensate. That's the printer's job, if necessary, when he processes your PDF.

PDF created with InDesign CS6, Helvetica Neue font, causes lower-case "r's" to be bold

The pdf was created from InDesign CS6 using Windows 7. I cannot recreate the problem on my machine, but it is happening on a coworker's machine. The only character affected is the lower-case r. It appears bold when viewing the pdf of his machine. I am also running Windows 7 and it looks fine to me. My boss is using a Mac and it also looks fine to her. Does anyone know what might be causing this problem?

Hmm...until it's isolated to the 'r' it surely sounds like the typical effect often caused by the "Enhance Thin Lines" preference setting in Acrobat/Reader/browser-x-plugin, which most commonly affects l's and i's.
It's also true that various servings of Helvetica Neue are at the center of many such tales of woe.
I'd recommend some simple testing on the co-worker's computer with PDF's produced under the same conditions using different fonts; perhaps some varied weights of the same Helvetica Neue.
