Two Questions...

[Scott_A]

Using Publisher, is there a "High Quality" preview setting? I'm testing out a linked pdf, and the photo in the pdf is fuzzy, but I know it's plenty high res. ?

And, is there a pdf output progress bar? Or something? When I get a 64 - 80 page magazine done it's going to be kind of weird not being able to see how it's going. Maybe I'm just paranoid since InDesign used to have a great "crash at 90%" feature...

Sorry, three questions: last one, when I just select "Place" and place a pdf, I can't seem to put a stroke around it, but if I create a frame, then place the pdf in it, I can apply a stroke -- is that how it's supposed to work? Seems like an extra step.

There's no such option in Publisher unfortunately.

Please open Document>Resource manager and make sure the file is still correctly linked/embedded and does not require updating or locating.

When exporting to PDF you'll see a progress bar, although no percentages are shown the bar will still show an estimation of how far through export the app is.

This is to be expected, without the surrounding frame the placed document is a different kind of object that cannot have a stroke applied.

Thanks for clearing those questions up!
