How do I Impose 3 up in indesign?

Hi I have a question if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
I currently have an in design file that has 3 areas for PDF placements. What happens is I get separate PDF files and I have to place them on a "spread" so we can batch print out everything. Right now I have to manually select each PDF to place it in it's proper place. I've searched and found some ways to place the PDFs when it's one up on a sheet but in this case the PDF is 3 up on one sheet.
Currently I select file to place.
I have a template setup and I place my PDF into that area which is setup to shrink to 35%.
Then I do this manually for over 100 PDFs.
Does anybody have any ideas how to make this happen quicker?

Hi thanks for your response. Here's a link to a screen shot:

It's always a different PDF I have to drop in so right now I manually go to place and then drop in the PDF file. Sometimes there's like 100 and it takes a while as ou could imagine. The image on the indesign file is a "dummy" image just to give you an idea.
Let me know what you think, thanks!

How to PRINT a CD booklet in Indesign CS 5?

I think it's alittle funny that our professor at my 4yr college is teaching us how to make a CD booklet in Indesign using Masterpages and yet he doesn't know how to print it out.
Well I'm having trouble printing mine out. I'm making a CD booklet for a singer I like and put lyrics/backgrounds on each document.
But, since there is two columns on one page, i made the same background stretched across, so that each page/document had a theme. My teacher said this had something to do with pagination and he didn't know how to print it out.
this is how the pages are setup in indesign masterpages:
1 (this is the cover)
2-3
4-5
6-7
8-9
10-11
12-13
14-15
16-17
18 (this is the back cover)
So whenever i print them out the pictures are not matching up right, to where if i folded each page, each page is not matching the theme.
So here are some screenshots, I'm turning this in next week, and would really appreciate help on the printing parts!! Also, when they print out they are printing upside down i dont know how to fix this.
and this was taken with my phone, see the images dont match up right, and also want them to be not backwards on the back. I am printing these double sided pages!
please help thank you as this is also a learning process fot me!

There's a problem, I think, with Petteri's solution, and that's that he's got all the extra pages to the right of the spine. When you do island spreads you have to be sure that you have some sort of symmetry so the pages will back up properly, whether in this case you have all the spreads with two pages on either side of the spine, or if you alternate sides with the ones and threes.
But I can see now why your instructor said he didn't know how you would print this. you want 4 pages together (or two double-width pages, which would be another way to set it up). That combined width is bigger than any sheet of paper that is likely to run in your printers without tiling and pasting the pages together at some point. It would be no problem on a press, but you aren't going to run one booklet on a press. If your printers can handle 13 x 19 sheets you might be able to find a printer willing to cut you some from a lerger sheet, or you might be able to find a ream someplace, but it will be expensive and you might not get the stock you want, and even on that size sheet I'm afraid you'd have clipping on the outer left and right ends where you run into the non-printing area on the edge of the sheet. The other option would be to run on a wide-format inkjet plotter.
Ask your professor if you can print this at reduced size as a proof of concept and you may be able to output on equipment that is available to you at school.
But that brings us back to the problem of page count. Your example has 12 panels, not 18. If you want to have a 4-panel spread like this, you need to be working in multiples of 8 panels for your design -- 4 panels on each side of the sheet. You can leave some blank if you want to, but you need to conscioulsly put those blanks where you want them.

How to set up the interaction between InDesign CS6 8.0 and Photoshop CS 6 - if Photoshop is installed and the 64 and 32-bit?? default InDesign refers to the 64-bit version of Photoshop and scripts do not work.

One really useful tool I've used (and still do) for learning InDesign (and lots of other stuff) is to search Google with a concise question and the word InDesign in it. You may get more than you want, need, or can deal with, but you'll be seeing responses from this forum's posts and other Adobe.com resources, as well as from lots of other non-Adobe sources "out there."

Why after so many years, Indesign still couldn't open an PDF????
I really need this function!
Hopefully Adobe couldn't solve this problem in future version!
PDFs are designed to be a FInal file format. They are never intended to be edited in anyway.
Adobe don't support this function for many reasons.
InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop or any other Adobe product is not a multi-purpose PDF editor and you shouldn't be opening a PDF in Illustrator or Photoshop unless that PDF was specifically made with those programs.
To open a PDF in InDesign you need specialist software as mentioned above.
The correct workflow is to edit the existing InDesign document.
If you don't have that original InDesign document, then you need to recreate it from the start.
If you don't want to do that - then you need to buy the software that Converts the PDF to InDesign.

Can someone please give me a step-by-step guide on how to embed a video in my Indesign document?

Can someone please give me a step-by-step guide on how to embed a video in my Indesign document? I've got CS4 and I've tried to follow Adobe's instructions. Even Creative Suite 4 for Dummies. But I can't get it to work. And yes, I understand the video will only play when exported as a pdf -- not in the indesign document. Help! Donna

Please repost in the InDesign forum along with full details including what the problem is.
Telling us it doesn’t work is meaningless.

You need to set up 1 paragraph style for each level.
In each paragraph style got to the section "Bullets & Numbering"
Set to numbering, set each paragraph style to the corresponding level. For each level add in the numbering field the placeholder for the same level, in the second and third level set the placeholder and the dot before the actual level for the first and the second level (this only for the third level of course).
It is also a goot idea to create and select a list which can be done in the same dialog. It would work without a list but it is better to use a list to not get numbering problems with ohter numbered lists in the document.
Search Google for terms like "multi-level automatic numbering in indesign" without quotes.

How to create a book (Diplomawork) with InDesign

Hi all
I will finish a very important diploma at the end of October. I am wondering how I can create a 'book' with InDesign?
It should just be like a normal book with Summary, Glossary, and so on. If this is possible with InDesign, how can I do that?
Will I first need to finish the document with word and then 'just copy paste' or is it possible to write it in InDesign with a dynamic
summary and all that?
Thanks for your appreciated feedback,
Regards
Fabrice

Dear DerekC1000
totally agree with you I know that it is a fantastic application. I'm IT and I know Dreamweaver and Fireworks from the past. Great software. But in oder to deep my knowledge I would like to start with e.g. a good think just like my Deplomawork.
At the end is must lust like this and I'm sure that InDesign ist just right for that. I'm also sure that for the final printing I must take care of 100drets of things regarding the formatting or the documents. And here my quistions start. At the end it should look just similar to something like that (fotos below).
Could you guide me a little?
Cheers

How do I import a .PDF into inDesign?

How do I import a .PDF into inDesign? Does anybody know how? I need to edit a book in inDesign that is a .PDF. So if anyone know how to do that please tell me.

Bob, Peter, grmg, many thanks for your very helpful comments. Delighted mac/pc not relevant. Will scratch that from list of herrings to chase.
Re PDFs - actually, I'm working in Acrobat (not just a finalized PDF), and Acrobat does of course allow editing of a sort; I'd concluded that since Adobe is willing to tolerate that degree of editing with its product, it should therefore tolerate moving its native format (*.pdf) into another of its own native formats (*.indd). I see that's a misconception.
This morning I tried all flavors I could find of getting my Acrobatted content into ID3, including copy/paste, place, and import (from the ID side); none was satisfactory. Output from Acrobat to Word and then placing Word was fine for English but destroyed the Greek - not just wrong font, but complete gobbledygook and loss of all diacriticals. Names of fonts don't matter for my purposes; the legibility of the English, and the legibility and tonic accuracy of the Greek do matter. Author of this project is not tech-savvy and is using old Greek system as well; nothing he or i can do to fix that.
Current plan is to request author to provide me his native files, which will be Mac files. Am I understanding the Import dialog and your collecitve comments to suggest that with that file resident on my PC (and unopened), I can use the Place dialog, with "Show Options" selected, to get the Mac file into ID?
Chapeaux to those of you with constructive comments - hugely appreciated.

How do I Sync my Settings in InDesign CC?

How do I sync my settings in InDesign CC? I get a "Sync Settings" option in both Illustrator and Photoshop but don't seem to have that option in InDesign CC.
Thanks,
c.

I have to say that the whole CC serice seems to be a little 'hit and miss' at the moment. I have just found out that Folder Sharing is also not available. I purchased a 3 seat option of the CC for Teams and without InDesign CC Setting Syncing and a shared folder setup the service is much less appealing.
Such is life, I guess...

How to import a PSD file into Indesign WITH layers so it can be edited/saved as an InDesign file?

How to import a Photoshop file into Indesign CS6 so that it's layers show in InDesign and it can then be edited/saved as an InDesign file?

MyTienN wrote:

What do you mean by "adjust"? Editing of Photoshop images should be done in Photoshop.
Sure, it's possible to save individual layers from an image in Photoshop as inidvidual files in a variety of formats, but what's the point? You could just as easily import the layered file, then copy/paste it into a new layer for each layer in the image and use layer visibility to control which ones show. I don't think that will do you a lot of good, though, if you use adjustment layers or opacity controls on the layer in Photoshop.

How to undo the "Paste into" in Indesign?

Does anyone know how to undo the "Paste into" in Indesign? I have used the "paste into" to mask a list of items but now i want to redo it so that I can see the whole list of items again. Is it possible?
thanks!

Same way you undo anything else, Edit > Undo, or are you asking if you can come back days later and remove the content, then put it elsewhere? Sounds like maybe the latter, and my guess is you pasted a text frame into another frame, so you need to select the outer frame, then Object > Select > Content, or just use the Direct Select tool to select the content, then cut and finally paste it someplace else.

If you are referring to an error when trying to open a file, and you are not already patched to 7.5.3 that is the first thing you need to do.
Then try opening the file again and let us know what the error is.
