Is there a way to check inDesign documents for color?

I need to send a file to print and I want to make sure all of the line art is the same color swatch. The printer will charge me if they have to convert a line. The color is dark blue so I can't visually differentiate it from black in some cases. Is there a script to check the document for me or a feature in inDesign to check?

You can do it in InDesign and in Acrobat Pro, you should check it in both programs.
InDesign: Window > Output > Separations Preview (Panel)
Acrobat Pro > Tools > Print Production > Output Preview, select separations
There you can turn off any ink plate.

  • InCopy workflow in InDesign: Is there a way to find the document in which an ICML file has NOT been checked IN again before saving the doc?

    The situation:
    We are working with the InCopy feature (checking in and checking out ICML files).
    The problem:
    I might have saved a document with an ICML file still checked out.
    The question:
    Is there a way to find out which document was saved with the ICML file still checked out?
    or in other words:
    Is there a way to find the document in which an ICML file has NOT been checked IN again before saving the doc?
    Thanks for any help!

    Hello Sumit Singh,
    thank you for your answer and your reasonable recommendation. Unfortunately, this only works when the ICML content is used in one INDD file. In our case, we use ICML content in multiple docs (various manuals with the same safety instructions, warranties, adresses etc.).
    So, is there a way to trace back where an ICML has been used?
    Is it possible to find out in which document the ICML is still checked out?

  • Is there any way to check on my own internet usage?

    I am really puzzled by my new satellite internet provider (Exede). I joine on 2/14 and by 2/16 they said I had exceeded (pun intended) my 10 gig monthly limit. I know I had not, so when I contacted them and had them check their details, they had my down for 4 gigs both that Sat (15th) and Sunday (16th) between 4PM and 9PM.
         a. I was not even near my iMac between 4:30 and 6:30, and was watching the olympics from7:30.
         b. I had not sent more than 5-6 emails, had not downloaded any videos, movies, etc.
         c. Their tech person said it was really strange even from their viewpoint, but could do little. He did give a super bonus (for free!) of two more gigs - never to be done again.
         d. Their tech person said they had complete confidence in their records and also believed something very strange was going on - like someone else or some virus was using my iMac. I live in a very rural area - thus the satellite connection try. I don't have any neighbors who use my wi-fi.
         e. Does the iMac send constant data on its own? Could it be possible for a virus or some other program to be doing such strange, unauthorized activity? Is there a way to check what acutally went on two days ago?
         f. His only other solution is to unplug their modem when I am not using the computer. Sigh.
    Today I rechecked my use of the 2 gigs of bonus they gave me. I have carefully monitored my usage.
    a. Yesterday I sent 9 emails, got about 20; watched about 5 minutes of a youtube video; and sent a 4.7 imovie enclosure via email. Their recorded me as using 5 gigs!!
    b. Today (it is still am when I write this), I checked my email - 20+ emails, sent 10 (no enclosures) and watched exactly 4:30 minutes of Fcebook videos. Exede added 2 more gigs!!
    I cannot figure out how this is happening. I guess I will have to cancel the service with only a week of being a user - unless someone can help me find the mysterious culprit, be it an unknown meighbor, a mysterious code in my iMac or ???

    Any client on a network, including wireless clients you don't know about, could be consuming bandwidth. Wi-Fi networks must be protected with WPA2 security. If yours isn't, change the security setting on the access point. If it's already set that way, change the password. Make it a string of at least 8 random characters, including digits and upper- and lower-case letters. The password is saved in the keychain and you don't have to be able remember it; in fact, you shouldn't be able to remember it.
    You make these changes in AirPort Utility, if the access point is an Apple device, or in a web browser otherwise.
    If the network or the password was insecure, and bandwidth use returns to normal after securing it, you can be pretty sure the problem was caused by intruders.
    But intrusion may not be the issue. Most often BitTorrent, iCloud, Dropbox, or some other cloud-data application is involved in cases of mysterious bandwidth use by a Mac. If you use iCloud, uncheck at least Photo Stream and Documents & Data in its preference pane and see whether there's any change. If you use third-party network backup or file-sync software, disable that. If you use a torrent client, remove it.
    Otherwise, if you're running OS X 10.9 or later, you can see which processes are most active on the network.
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)  
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select All Processes from the View menu, if not already selected, and also select the Network tab.
    Click the heading of the Sent Bytes column in the process table to sort the entries by bandwidth usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Repeat with the Rcvd Bytes column.

  • Is there a way to check FF as BOTH webroot security and now my bank sent a security notification that my Firefox is not secure and may be redirecting elsewhere.

    "ACTIVE PROCESS HAS A POSSIBLE MEMORY LEAK firefox.exe"
    When I run a system analyzer for WEBROOT the results state that there is a security breach for my Firefox browser.
    When I went to access my bank info I receive a message that Firefox is redirecting to a site with a bad certificate.
    Is there a way to CHECK to see if I have a secure copy of Firefox? (Yes, I did install through the main site.
    I TEACH technology for the public school system and have top security which updates regularly and my pc itself runs regular maintenance as well.

    Are there any unknown addons, and do a malware check with some different programs, unless Webroot is bashing firefox over a memory leak it had 2 years ago.

  • Is there a way to check if I have either deleted a necessary file or...

    Firstly, let me apologize for this rather long post. I just want to make sure I give as much detail in order to get the problem really solved...
    I have a MacBook Pro 2GHz Intel Core Duo with 512 MB of ram. I am running OS 10.4.10 and don't have the means to either upgrade the OS, increase ram or even backup and reinstall (I am in a remote part of the South Pac. Islands, working as a relief worker, without much more than a dish to connect to the net).
    Now while I know that QuickTime has nothing to do with WMA files and that Flip4mac is the solution of record, allow me to pose my problem (because I can't get a straight answer on other forums whose only suggestion is to reinstall their software).
    I have been using Flip4Mac QuickTime components successfully (to save radio streams) for over a year without a single problem with various versions of Quicktime. Presently, i use QuickTime version 7.6.0 and all was working fine until a few weeks ago. QuickTime works fine in every other way with the exception of playing my saved streams that contain WMA audio.
    I believe I might have created the problem by either... ignorantly deleting files with a tool that allows me to examine the hard drive (including system files) in order to delete large ""unnecessary"" files... or even possibly, it occurred when questionable-content was auto-opened via QuickTime (which incidentally had caused the system to crash requiring a hard keyboard shutdown and restart). The problem occurred soon thereafter.
    i have un-installed and re-installed QuickTime, Flip4Mac and even Windows Media Player for Mac several times with no change. i also ran several virus / disk scans (VirusBarrier, ClamXAV, MacScan, as well as TechTool, Mac HelpMate and MainMenu) also with no change.
    The dialog box that pops up when I attempt to open ANY past saved QuickTime files basically says, QuickTime Player is 'missing a component.' This window doesn't always popup. Also the player will advance the minutes and seconds without playing a sound. Further any app that relies on WMA files also crashes, quits or just doesn't work. Such as WMA to MP3 converters. I even have problems with sounds / music from a couple of MacGames that I own (Luxor & Hidden Relics) as these games may rely on WMA to function (this may or may not be related).
    My question is... is there a way to check if I have deleted a necessary codec, system file, pref. file, receipt, etc. that is crucial to using WMA?
    Or even is there a way to check if some erroneous file has been added to my system (such as a DRM plugin) that is preventing the playing of my saved streams?
    Once again, as I mentioned above, I am unable to backup and reinstall OSX and am at the end of my rope. The only thing that is left for me to say is.... Heeeellllppp!

  • Is there any way to set the default for *.doc document so that Pages opens them automatically?

    I have a number of Ms Word documents because I used to have Word for Mac before the last OS release.  Now, of course, when I double-click on them, I get a message saying that PowerPC isn't supported.
    Now Pages will open these files.  Is there any way to change the default for *.doc files so that a double-click will open them in Pages?

  • Is there a way to check if the rechargeable battery is the original?  I have a feeling mine has been swapped out...

    I have a feeling my rechargeable battery pack was secretly swapped out by another user (whose battery had died) - left for vacation working computer, returned from vacation battery not charging.  Is there any way to check (serial number, etc.) what battery came with the purchased computer?  Any help would be appreciated.

    No, but you could check to see if the battery installed has about the same amount of charge cycles if you were paying attention to that number. 

  • Is there a way to open pages documents on Windows?

    My ibook G4 died recently out of warranty, and I'm now without a way to open all my documents, which I created and saved in the pages format.
    Is there a way to open these documents on a Windows XP machine, as that is the only machine I currently have available?

    There are certain data you can save copying a Pages document to Windows, but not much. If you copy a Pages document to a Windows machine, you will see that it is in fact a folder. In that folder you will find pictures you have included in the document. You will also find a file called index.xml.gz. You can expand that one on windows - probably with Winzip - and open the xml file in your favourite browser, and then you will see the text you added among quite a lot of garbled text. Formating will be gone.
    To some of us Pages' Mac-centric format is very inconvenient, but many users are quite happy with it, as they rarerly need the documents on a Windows machine. And when it happens they see no problem first exporting it to .doc, .pdf or .rtf format.

  • HT4859 How can I verify that my App data is actually stored in iCloud. With Dropbox, I can actually see my stored files. With iCloud, itseems I'm supposed 2 just trust that Appl has the data. Short of doing a restore is there no way to check the data?

    How can I verify that my App data is actually stored in the iCloud. I can see and access my notebook, contacts etc. on the iCloud website, and I can see my photos in a folder on my Windows-based desktop compter (iCloud/Photostream). But no app data.
    With Dropbox, I can actually see all of my stored files. With iCloud, it seems, I'm supposed to just trust that Apple has my back. Short of deliberately trashing my app data and then attempting a restore, is there no way to check the data?

    You can't access them on Windows (unless you have iCloud enabled Windows programs) and I don't think any are, yet.
    iCloud data is accessed via Apps/Programs, the Windows programs vendors will have to step up (just to make it worse Microsoft have not yet enabled their Mac programs, such as Office yet) I doubt that iCloud access is much of a priority for them, complain to MS, when enough Windows users complain maybe they'll do something.

  • Is there a way to check if my music(s) can actually play?

    Hello everyone. I'm planning to buy an iPod Shuffle.
    This question will decide if I'll buy the iPod Shuffle or wait for iPod nano.
    My firend who own the iPod shuffle said there's a case when certain .mp3, which is a supported file type, just won't play due to many possible reasons.(like encoder, etc.)
    I know that the problem can be solved by letting iTunes convert the files into its preferred format, then that converted files should be able to play on the iPod shuffle.
    I have no problem with that case if I'm ripping musics from a CD AUDIO. But if the file I want is already a compressed format like MP3, I wouldn't want to lower its quality even further by converting it to AAC or any other compressed format.
    When there are hundreds of music files onto the iPod shuffle, and if 2 or 3 of them will never play, you never know since there's no LCD or browsing features. To check hundreds music file by playing them one-by-one in order is a pain.
    But let me state this I do like the iPod Shuffle more than iPod nano. If there's a way to check if EVERY music files in my iPod are playable, I'll choose iPod Shuffle over iPod nano.
    To sum up the question : Is there a way to check if every music files in the iPod shuffle can actually play?
    Thank you very much. ^_^

    The shuffle will load from a specified play list in the order of that play list if you set it not to choose randomly.
    You do not have to play the songs all the way through to test them. If a song starts you can skip to the next one and test it.
    You have to test the songs on the shuffle becuse usually the songs will play in iTunes and on other iPods. The only shortcuts I have found are:
    1. If one song from an album will not play then all will not play (this is music store purchases) Thus you can test one song instead of an entire album.Ooops CD - i think I just dated myself.
    2. I have only had problems with songs from the Music Store. YMMV A very small number of songs.

  • Is there any way to check rc.conf without restarting the machine?

    Hi everybody,
    I've VPS running with Arch. It was preinstalled with very, very old versiol so I've upgraded everything, updated rc.conf by hand but still never restarted completely. So my question is - is there any way to check that the server will boot up without issues? Is there any way to check that rc.conf is completely valid?

    peets, thanks! It seems to be ok at this point.
    tomk, understood... Well, I'll paste it here maybe somebody could look throught for some possible incompability problems from old version:

    The most important is to bring networking up after restart :-) last lines from "lo=..." is from old rc.conf so I'm not sure if this is compatible with newest Arch.
    Thank you for help, guys!
