how did you get all your pages in the column in the right side of indesign?? Thanks for sharing !

Great tut, I always struggled with those.

1. High quality print -> Leave images to AdobeRGB? (great if so, for the saturated blue parts in skies)

2. PDF X1/a -> If the press company requires a PDFx1/a, never ever change the compatibility other then 1.4?? (sometimes I got back a poster with a square behind it, did their RIP do something wrong or is it my fault?)

2. PDF X1/a - How do I show a customer a PDFx1/a with transparancy so that the thin white line ends on the 1.4 don't show up?

Great stuff guv'nor. I didn't find out about the background tasks menu until today, so I was wondering where the old progress bar had gotten to!
