Message: <blockquote data-quote="HellHound" data-source="post: 1218952" data-attributes="member: 3397">It was, indeed, a LOT faster than I anticipated.But this was taking a graphical layout and converting it to a non-graphical layout. Since all the formatting was done besides having to move around a few forced page breaks, it wasn't TOO outrageous. Trying to do the same thing but including graphical elements (and thus more advanced layout) would have taken me a LOT longer. The original (graphical) document in question took me about 40 hours to build.Dimwhit: Regarding resizing graphics, I've found that Quark XPress and Adobe Acrobat work well together and I can resize graphics willy-nilly in the document and they come out at the DPI I ask for in the final PDF. However, in this case, the second layout contains NO graphical elements. Nothing at all. Not a sausage. Makes the rebuild a lot easier, basically just cut-and-paste of the formatted text, and then going through and grabbing all the tables (Quark leaves all tables as seperate items, not linked to the text chain) and inserting them as appropriate in the document.The only REAL pain in the butt is that all the page references in the document are now out-of-whack, so I have to get the author to go through this new version and dig up all the old references and figure out where they should aim now in the 100 page version.</blockquote>
