PDF2DTP for InDesign - ParaStyle and CharStyle
If the “ParaStyle” or “CharStyle” Preferences are selected then for each major text attributes change a
Paragraph or Character Style will be conveniently added to the application. This allows you to easily make
global changes to the text by simply editing the Style.
Important Note! --- PDF files do not carry any style names defined in the original document used to create
the PDF. PDF2DTP creates its own Para and Char Styles based on what it detects during conversion. So if you
have a series of style names you always use, these will not appear in the converted file. What you may be
able to do is to rename the Para or Char styles PDF2DTP created during conversion to match the style names
in your original document.
PDF2DTP for InDesign - ParaStyle and CharStyle Names
The Paragraph Style name will include settings such as Leading and Indents while the Character Style name
will include the name of the font and the point size.
PDF2DTP for InDesign - The "+"
Note that some Character or Paragraph Styles will have a plus sign “+” in front or at the end of their names on
the Styles palette indicating the selected text has local formatting changes that deviate from the Style settings.
In this case you can option-click the Style to override the formatting and apply the exact attributes of the Style.
