Acrobat 9 has some really good tools for inserting PDFs into other PDFs. I'm surprised that Adobe hasn't fixed this in InDesign yet. Definitely frustrating.

The above paragraph been taken from the indesign manuel. This is A big problem for me, because I need to place in Indesign document a pdf file that contain some hyperLinks, then I want to export this document to final pdf that contain the hyperlinks originally were in the pdf file i just placed. Any idea how to solve this problem? TIA “InDesign doesn’t import movies, sound, links, or buttons when you place a PDF file…..”

We have documents that are hundreds of pages and we need to be able to convert the tables to read with the headers along the left margin of each related line.

On page 21 it says "for more information on preparing InDesign CS files for accessibility see 'About using Acrobat structure tags for PDF export' in InDesign CS Help". This doesn't exist in either the online help or the PDF version of the documentation. Perhaps they are referring to "Adding structure to Adobe PDF files" entry in the online help or p574 in the documentation.

The online manual for InDesign CS2 and Acrobat 7 don't quite match. I tagged several objects that I did not want to be read by a screen reader with the "Artifact" tag. But Acrobat ignores this and wants me to re-tag them as "Background". They need to make this a smoother procedure.
