Quote from: pspdfppdfxhd on December 01, 2023, 05:18:29 AMWow, after reading all this I am amazed how little I know about the new Macs. Still chuggin along with a 2015 Imac with 32GB of ram. It's getting painful to use.

files get bigger and bigger and bloatier and bloatier 

Huh! I thought it was the RAM
yes those are the files! 

When I get bloated files with lots of pages, I wish I had more than 64!

I got the Mac Studio M1 with 64 gigs of ram, it's good to get as much RAM
as your company will allow

Ah! ok, I was there but was selecting the wrong thing
I was selecting convert to text, but that makes too much sense! 

I got it!!
thank you!

I'm done with the file (I think)
but where the heck is that object menu? I go to window/ interactive but I don't see it

It seems to be an interactive button, I can see a click button.
on output so far I figured out to select  interactive elements and then include preview
the buttons disappear and the text is there.
haven't proofed it yet to see if bad things are gonna happen
I haven't figured out how to remove this function from indy before output

Does anyone know what this is?
The text in boxes like this does not export to pdf
the only fix is replacing with a real text box
I would like to fix it without replacing I have quite a few of them.

I had to Update my Indesign, I have been putting it off because of the Pantone colors
I have the Pantone Connect but I do not like it.
Customers are obviously updating now! 

OOH! Thanks Scott!
I will check the error checking

Not it, I think I might have to look into Macros as this stuff gets so complex, I just kicked the crappy file back
and had them fix it.
There seems to be more in Windows excel than Mac
That's why you have to buy Macros!

Quote from: David on November 14, 2023, 02:42:34 PMI believe it's only on a PC, since the Mac version hasn't been updated since dinosaurs roamed the earth.

I was wondering about that

I have been in variable data hell this week, very complex jobs
sheesh, I was in the bathroom yesterday taking to myself "I Hate this job"!!
I have so much going on personally right now, I don't feel like being this intense at work.

Does anyone know how to get to this on a Mac
I'm looking to get to info/Check for Issues/Inspect Document

I have seen this view on a PC but not on a Mac 

I've seen bad things with Xante/Impressa

try print as image that's always my last resort, bad things can happen with that too.
