Trying to make a global change in InDesign-Created Catalog

A client wants the ability to increase prices in a catalog made in InDesign globally, e.g. 2% increase across the board on an annual basis. Is there a way to do this that is not manual? There are thousands of SKUs involved here so the manual process would be cost prohibitive.
Thanks for any solution.

I didn't try it or look at the script but this should do it.

You sight have to edit it a bit to round numbers.
I posted a grep math script on the forum but I couldn't find it

How can I make a global change so all controls and indicators labels on the front panel change to another colour?

How can I make a global change so all controls and indicators labels on the front panel change to another colour?
I need to change the front panel so that it can be used in a dark environment.

Hi
The only way I see, is to use the "Controls[]" property and iterate through all of them. But don't forget about nested elements (i.e. clusters, tab-controls, ...).

Trying to reorder text so that an Indesign created PDF reads correctly on Adobe Acrobat's Read Out L

I am trying to get a document to be read in the correct order by Adobe Acrobat's Read Out Loud function. I am using Indesign CS2 and creating a PDF file to be read by Adobe Acrobat Version 7.
I followed directions from sources online. I added all untagged items into the Structure window. I added alternative text to all the graphics fine. And the text areas are tagged as story. I then created a PDF used the Read out loud function, and it reads it all wrong! I then thought that by changing the hierarchy order of the tags that it would follow that list. But no! it still reads the same. I have tried a lot of things to get it to read right. I fiddled around with the acrobat preferences and now it just reads the alternative text?
I need help.

I haven't used it, but I think you need to use Acrobat's TouchUp Reading Order tool. I think that existed in Acrobat 7. Here's the accessibility page for Acrobat 9 on Adobe.com:

If necessary, it might be necessary to upgrade to Acrobat 9 Pro.

Global change to the size of a text frame in InDesign 5.5?

Is there a way to make a global change to the size of a text frame in InDesign 5.5? I just laid out a book and the size needs to go up half an inch.

If you have worked properly and have done following:
Set up Masters with margins and columns,
Aligned all text frames with the margins,
Turned on Layout Adjustment,
You will only change the margins on the Master and it will change every page.
If not …
you have to do it manually.

i am currently running a trial version of indesign. i am trying to make a cd booklet. when i open a new document and try to find 'compact disc' in the document presets, it isn't there. all i have for options are 'default and custom'. is it possible to open the 'compact disc' preset from a trial version?

Are you sure, Eugene? I have this option:

HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
many thanks for your help.

Photos are added to book in chronological order. So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
1 - select all the photos in the album.
2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

Is there an inexpensive Adobe product that can make small text changes in an InDesign document?

I run a small nonprofit where one of our staffers uses InDesign to design our documents. I often make small text changes and would rather not have to run them through her all the time. Is there any inexpensive Adobe product that would met me make these small changes, since I don't need the full Creative Suite (or even full InDesign) capabilities?

You say that you want an Adobe product, but you may not be aware that
there are other products that may work for you as well, in particular
DocsFlow or WordFlow (EmSoftware -- no affiliation to me!)
This would allow your designer to export the story to Word or GoogleDocs
where you make your changes -- and he or she then simply updates the
document in InDesign with the press of a button.
Worth looking into.

Trying to make a book - iPhoto changing the order of my manually sorted album. Help?

I'm trying to make a book from an album.
I have manually sorted the photos in the album and wanted autoflow to fill the book in.
However, when I create a new book from the album, iPhoto seems to re-order the photos by one of the other options (eg: by date.) If I change that sort option under view - sort, and switch it to manual, it wants me to manually re-sort based on the previous setting. I have already done my sorting in the album. Is there a configuration I can do that will get iPhoto to recognise that manual album order?
(iphoto 11 v9.2.1)

The only solution I've seen reported is to change the dates of the photos using the batch change command with a increment so the date sort will be the same as your manual sort - you can search the forum for one of these posts - and I do not remember how they proposed to undo the date change

I'm trying to make a resume. All the templates are in another language (spanish I think). How can I change to english??

Another one!
The scary language is Latin, quotes from Cicero to be precise.
It is Placeholder Text designed to show the appearance and layout of the document.
You click in it, something most people try, and it is selected. You then type to replace it.

Supply a payment method which is valid in Salvador, or ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

Can you post the permissions on your Home folder?
Open Terminal, copy and paste this command. Copy the output and post here. If you want to mask out your user name, then paste the output into a text editor and use Find/Replace to change it to something like "username" before pasting it in here.

As far as I know, the best approach is to place pdf-file into a new InDesign document with “Multi Page Importer” script. Then create a new layer above the layer with PDFs and make small edits there creating new objects – text frames, etc – and hiding the original parts in the PDF below.
That isn't an option - the obscured content will often still export and it'll completely mess up accessibility and compliance.
The only true option would be to export a Word file from the PDF (using Acrobat Pro), import the text into a brand new INDD document using the usual style-mapping workflows, then export the images from the PDF separately and place them all back into the layout. Quicker than typing it all in again, but only just. Consider it a learning curve.
