Adobe InDesign is taking the publishing world by storm and users are hungry for breakthrough solutions to their myriad concernsfrom how best to manage the program's sometimes unwieldy interface to how to produce quality PDF files. Page-layout guru David Blatner and veteran trainer Anne-Marie "HerGeekness" Concepción have scoured the online forums, interviewed Adobe engineers, and gathered together answers to over 200 of the most-commonly asked questions. Written in a sassy, fun-to-read style, this book tackles every major InDesign problem with a lay-it-on-the-line solution. Adobe InDesign CS/CS2 Breakthroughs is for anyone who has been using InDesign long enough to realize that the solution to their problems isn't always as obvious as one would expect.
Hey buddy, what's your problem? No, wait, we're not trying to be obnoxious; we really do want to know what your problem iswell, as long as it involves Adobe InDesign. After all, that is our job: listening to problems and coming up with breakthrough solutions.
In fact, we've spent much of the past couple of years listening to seminar attendees talk about their problems, teaching new and advanced users, working with clients, reading online InDesign forums, and talking with other InDesign trainers. We discovered that there are certain questions that are asked over and over againquestions about importing Microsoft Word documents, putting guides on master pages, using transparency effects, printing and exporting PDF files . . .
This book is a compendium of those commonly encountered problems, andmore importantlytheir solutions! Some solutions are simple, such as pointing out a feature that you might never have known about. Other solutions are complex, requiring multi-step procedures and waving witchbane around your head while standing on one foot.
A few solutions involve problems with InDesign CS which were fixed in InDesign CS2, while some are more concerned with new problems that popped up in this most recent version. Most of the solutions in this book are applicable to both CS and CS2.
