How do I link a font from an existing Indesign document to a font on my computer?

I'm new to Indesign and have a file from a designer. I also have the font used. When a panel appears to link the font, I don't see a clear way to "browse" my PC and find the font needed. Any help?

there doesn't seem to be a way to upload the font I have on my computer.
Where is the font? I think that what is going on here is that you have the font file on your computer, but you haven't installed it, right? It doesn't appear in the dropdown list that SRiegel circled in yellow?
The font probably has to be installed on your computer. If you're using, um, CS5 or later, you can put it in "Document Fonts" folder that's in in the same place as the InDesign file that needs the font. If you do that, then close and re-open the InDesign file, then InDesign should be able to find the font there.
Otherwise, you need to install it - since you say "PC" I'm guessing you're using Windows, so you should be able to right-click on it and select "Install Font." Once you've done that then it should appear in InDesign's font list, so long as nothing goes wrong.
(There's a lot that can go wrong; InDesign is incredibly picky about fonts.)

I have an existing pdf file that is too large to send to some people. How can I delete some pages from this existing pdf file, and break it up into two files?

Hi,
It depends on the software you are using, what is it ? In general you can select a range or just a number of pages.

Are you trying to reduce the visual clutter on the phone, save space on the phone, or limit the security exposure if your phone is stolen?
If you are only wanting to reduce the visual clutter and make scrolling through the list faster, you could set up a group on the computer containing only the contacts you want to see on my phone (called, for example, "Show on my Phone") and enable only that group inside Contacts on the phone. You might even have one or more existing groups that you could enable that way (maybe "Family" and "Personal").

How may i place a Numbers spreadsheet in an InDesign document?

How may i place a Numbers spreadsheet in an InDesign document?
It's possible?

Hi.
You can import a .xls file.
First, go to Preferences > File handling > check "Create links ... spreadsheet files" in order to be able to update your table when modified in Excel.
Note that you won't be able to get any formatting from Excel file, so you should create a custom table style, along with paragraph and character styles.
While importing your Excel file, check "import options", select "Unformatted Table", and apply your table style.
Of course, no dynamic math operation can be make within InDesign Table, you must do it in your source file, then resave it and update your link.
If you properly used cells, paragraphs and characters styles, the formatting will be preserved when updating link to the spreadsheet.
Don't forget your .xls file is now linked to your indesign file (just like a picture), so don't move or delete it without caution...

Bookmarks, named destinations and how to "robust" link to PDF from HTML?

I need a way to link to topics (from an HTML page) within a structured PDF file generated from InDesign, i.e. one that has an interactive bookmarks
panel, that doesn't break the links when the file is updated.
In particular, I don't want to refer to:
* page numbers because the document will repaginate when it is updated, breaking existing links
* named destinations that are numeric as addition/deletion of topics renumbers the named destinations, breaking the links.
Is there any option in InDesign that creates named destinations derived from bookmark titles as that would seem to solve my problem?

I did some more trials, and here is where I am at:
As page-break-after:always; was ignored by PDFGenerator, I used a hack: I wrapped my pages inside div's which have the height of the page, and this seems to work. In addition I had to edit my CSS, and remove the @media print wrapper around my print specific CSS parts, to get my print media specific formatting inside HTML to the PDF page.
I do not consider this a solution, but more of a hack - but it might work for what we are doing, and maybe it works for somebody else.
But what I am actually trying to do is the following:
We have a systems which creates reports in HTML which can be viewed in a browser, and printed from the browser, now we try to use PDFGenerator, to generate reports in PDF, with a minimal effort ( I know this is a the wrong way arround, HTML is not a language targeted at creating printable reports, but that's what we are doing now, and I think many other people are in the same boat)
Still if anybody has a better solution, please chime in, or tell me why the hack I did is a real bad idea - any feedback is welcome

Link class inhereting from ListFieldIterator to a document list programatically

Hello All
I need to control the display of certain fields in a list according to the current user.
I implemented it using a class inherited from ListFieldIterator .
now , I want to connect the class i created to the document list, and I need to do it programatically
I created a usercontrol and copied its markup from DefaultTemplates.ascx usercontrols in CONTROLTEMPLATES
but still when I try to debug it does not catach the code.
How can it be done?
Shlomy

I think the proper way to customize list fields based on a specific context (the current user in our case) is to resort to using Custom Field Type Definition.
Using this technique, you can inherit from an existing list field type definition such as SPFieldDateTime, SPFieldMultiColumn, ...etc and then tweak the new field type to match your business.
When you're done implementing the type definition, you can start creating new list/site fields from this custom field type definition.
For a quick guide, please refer to the following links:

How do you Place rtf files from LibreOffice into InDesign CS6

I am new to InDesign CS6. I am having a problem Placing LibreOffice rtf files into InDesign.
I am using LibreOffice 4.3.2.2, Lotus WordPro, and Windows 7. I am saving my work in rtf files. Each page has two columns.
Placing rtf files from WordPro into InDesign works with no problems, but - I wonder just how long WordPro will continue to work with Windows 7 so I would like to switch to LibreOffice.
When I Place a rtf file that has two columns from LibreOffice into InDesign, I get a loaded text cursor, but nothing loads. I can take this same file, remove the columns so there is only one column, and it loads just as it should. Further, if I load the one column file into a Master set up for two columns, the file loads into two columns with all the proper formating.
Please guide me in how to Place the LibreOffice two column rtf files into InDesign.
Thanks.
Carole

Thanks to everyone who read about my problem. I have solved it myself by using "RTF Import Options."
