perform font substitution in those files, and then update. To open a
placed InDesign file, select the name of the file in the Links panel and
click the Edit Original icon (small pencil) at the bottom of the panel.
If you edit graphics contained in the placed InDesign files, you’ll need to
update their links in the placed files, and then update the placed files
themselves in the parent file.
PDFs as artwork
In much the same way as you’ve traditionally used EPS files as artwork,
you can use PDFs (including multi-page files) as artwork. If the PDFs
were correctly created, there are no worries about missing support files
or font embedding (provided that all fonts used to create the PDF will
allow embedding). Any change to the original PDF file (such as
regenerating the file, deleting or rearranging pages) will impact the
appearance of the InDesign file.
PDFs as Placed Art
e Links panel shows which pages of a multipage placed PDF are used, indicated by the
number aer the colon.
For best results, PDF files intended for placement as art in an InDesign
file should be saved as Acrobat 5.0-compatible or later to avoid
premature flattening of transparency. If the originating application has
used fonts that forbid embedding, the PDFs will yield a “missing fonts”
alert during Preflight, as well as marking those fonts as missing if you
use Find Font. A file using such PDFs as artwork won’t image correctly
unless the necessary fonts are supplied, active, and available to the
imaging device. Note that PDFs with security settings cannot be placed
in InDesign, even if you know the necessary passwords.

InDesign contains some advanced features for generating text
components. Text components such as Cross-References, Conditional
Text, paragraph-based bullets and numbering, Live Captions, and
Variables are generated as the result of special functions in InDesign
and, as such, require some special handling when editing.
Cross-References
Helpful in long documents such as user manuals or technical
publications, cross-references refers readers from one part of the
document to another. If a document is extensively edited, causing text
reflow, cross-reference text may change as page numbers are updated.
To change the specifications for a cross-reference, use the options in the
Cross-Reference panel (Window > Type & Tables > Cross-References).
You can customize your Preflight profile to warn you if Cross-references
are out of date and require updating.
Conditional Text
Conditional text is text whose display is governed by conditions
hence the name. For example, a textbook might contain quiz questions
along with answers to the questions. The instructor’s copy would
display the quiz answers; the students’ copies would not. Using
conditional text, both versions of the textbook can be sourced from the
same document. While multiple layers are one solution to this
requirement, conditional text offers the advantage that the optional
text can be inline with other text; this can make it easier to align
common and conditional text. Note that if conditional text is turned off
within a story, text reflow may occur. Advise your customers to notify
you if they have used the Conditional text feature, and suggest that they
