Batch shape correcting text boxes?

[Beacher]

 

Node tool question .... I think?

I imported a book into AP that I created using InDesign after converting the file to IDML. A good but not perfect experience.

Most of the pages are linked text blocks. Hoping I am using the right description? Some of the multiple page section linked boxes are ok, rectangular to the page boundaries as they were in InDesign, but a section of about 40 pages of linked boxes (one per page btw) all have this weird shape, as the text box corners are half moon curves inwards at the 4 corners. I figured out how to fix each one individually using the node tool but is there a way to fix all 40 pages at the same time or do I have to do it separately for each page??? I tried on two facing pages to do it but even with both boxes selected at the same time, only one can be adjusted.

Thank you

Hi Beacher,

Welcome to the forum

Unless the Object is already on a master page you will have to do this for all 40 pages I'm afraid.

Thanks

Callum ... thanks so much for your response .... yes that is what I did. 40 pages later and many graphic ads later had to be re-tweaked. I had to correct many issues like this. I am going to chalk it up to the woes of opening IDML files from InDesign. I am also using an older version of ID (CC2018) so "maybe" it has something to do with that ??? I think I basically have it all re-formatted in AP now?

Another problem if I may. The little book I do is a phone directory with advertising. The advertisers send PDF's of their ads and I "place" them in. There are two PDFs that will not place in to AP properly. There are "font issues". They open properly in Mac Preview, they place properly in InDesign, but not in AP. I just can't figure out why. See attached Screenshots.  The normal one is from ID the abnormal from AP. I have also btw, started a new file in AP to place one of the PDF's in and I get the same problem. The Ad on the left is from a real estate agent and their PDF ads have always been perfect. I can send you the full PDF's by PM if you like?

Thank you
