Here are some of the sessions that I will be presenting:

From InDesign to the iPad and Android Apps
Wired, the New Yorker, Time, and Esquire are all doing it… Learn how you can you get your content out of InDesign and on to the iPad. What solutions are currently available? What’s coming down the pipeline?

Let’s Talk PDF: Best Practices for PDF Workflows
There’s PDF and then there’s PDF! Learn the best practices for making efficient, print-ready PDFs on Mac and Windows.

• Export vs. Distill
• Tweaking PDF export presets for optimum output
• What to do when the printer says “convert type to outlines”
• PDF/X1, 3, and 4 – why, when, where, who, and how!

InDesign Beyond Print: Interactive PDFs, SWFs, and iPad and Tablet Apps
InDesign is the world’s best layout tool, but that doesn’t mean only print layout! Learn how InDesign makes it easy to create interactive PDF files, SWF (Flash) files, EPUB documents, and iPad/Tablet apps.

Reset InDesign’s Preferences

Check for Application Updates

Check to make sure your application is up to date. Go to your help menu and choose “updates”. InDesign will check to see if there are any updates, not just for itself but for other Adobe Creative Suite applications as well. If there are updates you will need an admin password to install. Be aware that your IT department might have to do this for you depending on computer configuration.

Refresh the File

If only 1 file is acting strange (and not the entire application) you might want to refresh the file. If you are using CS3 or earlier you should export your file to .inx and then reopen it again. If you are using CS4 or later you can export to IDML and then open it back again. This will rebuild your file and hopefully fix the issue that you were having. I highly recommend this if you have converted an old Pagemaker or QuarkXPress file since they can sometimes cause your files to act strangely.

When you place anything into Adobe InDesign (text, graphic or table) a commonly overlooked feature is import options. It is located in the lower left hand corner of the place dialog box.

If you choose to click import options you will be greeted with a plethora of information regarding your file that will help choose how the file will be imported (content and/or formatting).

Microsoft Word Import Options

Word’s options let you choose the formatting options of text, importing of inline graphics/tables or even map Word styles to InDesign styles.

*If you want to remove Word’s formatting, but keep local changes (like bold and italic) don’t forget to click “preserve local overrides”

Microsoft Excel Import Option

Excel’s import lets you select the sheet you would like to import and/or formatting options.

Image Import Options

Placing a layered .psd file with import options allows you to choose the visibility of individual layers or even pick from a Photoshop layer comp. Be sure to save .psd files with maximum compatibility to ensure proper importing into InDesign. Other options include activating the clipping path and changing the color profile.

PDF/AI/INDD Import Options

If you are placing a PDF, Adobe Illustrator file (.ai) or even another InDesign file (.indd) you can choose which page range, transparent background, layer and cropping options.

The Shift Key

The problem with choosing the import options check-box is that it remembers that you have checked it and it will remain checked for every subsequent item that you place. A workaround this problem is to hold down the Shift Key as you place the file(s) that you would like to see with the import options box. The shift key will allow those particular items to bring up their respective import options, but the check-box will remain off in the subsequent item placements.

The Adobe Creative Suite has a variety of options for switching between screen modes. If you are going to be showing a client a design on your screen, it can be distracting for them to see all of your panels and menus. To hide your panels, press the tab key and they will disappear until you press the tab key again. The following showcases the features of each program’s view settings.

InDesign

You can change the visibility of the document window using the Mode buttons at the bottom of the toolbox or by choosing commands from the View > Screen Mode menu. When the toolbox is displayed in a single column, you can select view modes by clicking the current mode button and selecting a different mode from the menu that appears.

• Normal Mode  – Displays artwork in a standard window with all visible grids and guides showing, non-printing objects showing, and a white pasteboard.
• Preview Mode - Displays artwork as if it were output, with all non-printing elements suppressed (grids, guides, non-printing objects), and the pasteboard set to the preview background color defined in Preferences.
• Bleed Mode  – Displays artwork as if it were output, with all non-printing elements suppressed (grids, guides, non-printing objects), the pasteboard set to the preview background color defined in Preferences, and any printing elements within the document’s bleed area (defined in Document Setup) showing.
• Slug Mode  – Displays artwork as if it were output, with all non-printing elements suppressed (grids, guides, non-printing objects), the pasteboard set to the preview background color defined in Preferences, and any printing elements within the document’s slug area (defined in Document Setup) showing.
• You can also tap the letter “w” on your keyboard to switch between Normal and Preview, Bleed or Slug (depending on what was chosen last.

Acrobat

• Enter Full Screen – Cmd (ctrl) + L
• View menu > Enter Full Screen

Photoshop

• To display the default mode (menu bar at the top and scroll bars on the side), choose View > Screen Mode > Standard Screen Mode. Or, click the Screen Mode button  in the Application bar, and select Standard Screen Mode from the pop-up menu.
• To display a full-screen window with a menu bar and a 50% gray background, but no title bar or scroll bars, choose View > Screen Mode > Full Screen Mode With Menu Bar. Or, click the Screen Mode button in the Application bar, and select Full Screen Mode With Menu Bar from the pop-up menu.
• To display a full-screen window with only a black background (no title bar, menu bar, or scroll bars), choose View > Screen Mode > Full Screen Mode. Or, click the Screen Mode button in the Application bar, and select Full Screen Mode from the pop-up menu.
• You can also tap the letter “f” on your keyboard to switch between these various modes.

Illustrator

You can change the visibility of the illustration window and menu bar using the mode options at the bottom of the Tools panel. To access panels when in Full Screen Mode, position the cursor at the left or right edge of the screen and the panels will pop up. If you’ve moved them from their default locations, you can access them from the Window menu.

• Normal Screen Mode  displays artwork in a standard window, with a menu bar at the top and scroll bars on the sides.
• Full Screen Mode With Menu Bar  displays artwork in a full-screen window, with a menu bar at the top and scroll bars.
• Full Screen Mode  displays artwork in a full-screen window, with no title bar or menu bar.
• You can also tap the letter “f” on your keyboard to switch between these various modes.

Meeting Summary

133 InDesign users turned out for our January meeting to help celebrate the 10th birthday of Adobe InDesign. Those who came a few minutes early were treated to Birthday cake provided by Adobe Systems. Leslie Dimond decorated the cake, complete with a text frame, a nice serif typeface (properly kerned), hidden characters displayed and an overset text indicator! (Yes, it was photographed — see below.)

The first presentation of the evening was by James Fritz from C2 Graphics Productivity Solutions in Milwaukee. James gave a content-packed, fast-paced tutorial on tricks for working with long documents. In just over an hour, he covered how and why to use the Book panel, how to create and update an automatic Table of Contents, tons of Style formatting tips, how to work with section markers, how and why to use Object Styles, and neat trick for automatically inserting Anchored Frames in text, and much more. It was a fantastic presentation that covered a lot of territory, and everyone learned something they could take home to make their work more efficient.

The second presentation was by Keith Gilbert of Gilbert Consulting. He explain how the little-understood “Balance Ragged Lines” feature works, and when you would want to use it for long documents. He explained how it works with Paragraph Styles, and then explained how to use a free script that he’s written that provides additional options for working with the Balance Ragged Lines command.

The evening concluded lots of great giveaways: books, software, iTunes gift cards, and more provided by Central Coast Solutions, Peachpit Press and Adobe Systems.

Thank You

Once again, the facility fee for the evening was generously underwritten by MCAD and Central Coast Solutions. Their support is why the Twin Cities InDesign User Group meetings continue to be completely free for registered members.

In order to run the scripts you need to open the script panel located in Window > Automation > Scripts. Inside the script panel open up the Application > Samples > JavaScript folders until you see a large list of scripts. Inside here you will find a variety of scripts that will vary in their usefulness depending on your work-flow. Here is a selection of my favorites scripts that come with InDesign and how they work.

Add Guides
With this script you can choose to add guides to any side of your selected object, even if you have multiple objects selected

Corner Effects
You can finally control the corners individually on every box. Round any corner you like!

Crop Marks
Easily add crop marks to as many items on the page as you wish. They will even be put on their own layer. This is really useful when you need to mock something up for the client.

Make Grid
This is my favorite script. If you draw out a large fame and run the script, you can determine the number of frames are a created as subdivisions from the original frame.

These are just a small selection of the scripts that ship with InDesign. Explore the other scripts and you will be surprised at the variety that you will find.

“How do I convert a PowerPoint into a format where I can reformat it and bring it into InDesign. I need to reformat the slides and make them look not like a PowerPoint.”

It seems logical that it would be easy to import an PowerPoint file into InDesign since Microsoft Word and Excel files import well. Unfortunately, there is not a native import for PowerPoint files.

Given this, we are left with two options – PDF Export or Manual.

1. PDF Export Method.

If you only need each slide as a non-editable graphic inside InDesign, this is the best option. From PowerPoint, save the presentation as a PDF (file save as > PDF). Inside InDesign, place the PDF from each slide on each page or use the place multipage PDF script that comes with InDesign.

This will get your presentation placed into InDesign, but it will not be editable. If you need the file to be editable, you will have to do some manual work.

2. Manual Method

If you want each slide to be editable, manually bringing everything over  is your only option. The problem, is that you can’t just copy the whole slide because it will paste into InDesign as one large embedded image.

Graphics
A better idea is to save out each graphic element one at a time from PowerPoint. Right click on the graphic and choose “save as picture.”  You can choose from PNG, JPG, PDF, GIF & BMP. I recommend PDF for vector and JPG for bitmaps.

If your PowerPoint document does not contain any vector images, you do have another option. Using Acrobat Professional you can quickly export all of your bitmap graphics. Inside Acrobat Professional, go to the advanced menu > document processing > export all images. This will quickly export all of the images out of the PDF into a specified folder. This option will only grab bitmap graphics – therefore, it may not work if your file has a lot of vector data.

Text
There is no easy way to bring all of the text over. I end up just copy and pasting the text over. If you want to keep the formatting from PowerPoint, edit your clipboard handling preferences and choose “all information” when pasting text from other applications.

Note – I have had some experiences in the past when I pasted the text it came in as an embedded graphic. To avoid this you can always just copy and paste into TextEdit (or notepad) and then back into InDesign.

Making it not look like PowerPoint.

I loved the second part of the question – “I need to reformat the slides and make them look not like a PowerPoint.”

PowerPoint is one of those words that strikes fear into the soul of designers. Let’s say it together now, “PowerPoint is not a design program.” Now, doesn’t that feel better.

Rather than ramble on about design, I will just recommend that you stay away of defaults. Most PowerPoint presentations scream POWERPOINT because they are using a default theme that includes default fonts, colors and clip-art that is used by millions of people everyday. For more help on design principles I would recommend the book The Non-Designer’s Design Book – by Robin Williams

Manually placing every artboard on every page of an InDesign layout can be a drag. Luckily there is a script to help! The PlaceMultipagePDF script that comes with InDesign will also work on the Illustrator file since Illustrator files have a PDF wrapper surrounding them.

Running the Script

1. Double-click on PlaceMultipagePDF (located in the scripts panel under window > automation > scripts) and it will prompt you to find the pdf (or .ai).

2. Chose the document and which page you want to begin placing the artboards on.

3. Sit back and watch the magic

Observations

• All of the links will be placed in the upper left corner regardless of your reference point.

• I tried using this script to place a multi-page InDesign file inside another InDesign file, but InDesign ended up locking up on me. Maybe with some tweaking of the script it could work with other InDesign files, but for the time being I would only recommend that you use it with PDF and Illustrator CS4 files.

• Even though you are using a script that says “place PlaceMultipagePDF” each artboard will be linked as an individual link to the Illustrator file.

When you use Lorum Ipsum (placeholder text) inside your InDesign and run spell check, InDesign will find every single word misspelled which can be aggravating. Learn how to avoid this issue with the following screencast.

Exporting out of InDesign

InDesign can export to jpg (file > export), but it does not save jpgs as well as Photoshop due to its lack of resampling controls. Unfortunately, you can’t export as a gif or png, therefore it is ultimately the best option to have Photoshop do the conversion for you.

From InDesign to Photoshop

1. Select the image with the direct selection tool and find out its scale percentage.

2. Opt (ALT on PC) double-click to edit the original image in Photoshop.

3. In Photoshop go to the image menu > image size. Change the top drop down menu from pixels to percent. Type in the percentage and shrink the image.

4. Save the file in Photoshop using “save for web and devices”

5. Rejoice in your newly saved correctly web-optimized image!

Who Should Attend?

Whether you use a Mac or Windows, regardless if you’re using InDesign CS3 or CS4, you’ll learn a ton of “use-it-today” techniques in both of these information-packed e-seminars!

Note that when you register for this eSeminar, you’ll have the option to show up live at the event, or watch its recording anytime within two weeks. So no matter what time zone or country you’re in, you can watch and learn at whatever time is best for you!

At the end of each seminar, we’ll open the floor to questions, which you can type into the chat window in your browser. If you can’t attend live, we’ll still attempt to answer your questions via email.

You do not need any special software to view these Webinars — just your normal Web browser and speakers on your computer.

1. Never set up a long document in one complete document. If this document were to become corrupted (murphy’s law) you would lose everything. You set up your document, say a book, into multiple files or chapters.

2. Using Adobe InDesign’s Book feature, you can collect these chapters into one document – a .indb file (InDesign Book). This also allows multiple users to edit chapters as you coordinate the composite book (similar to InCopy, but not as savvy).

3. Always use a master “template” file to coordinate your book chapter’s styles and look. In her demo Noha set up a master file with master pages, a baseline grid, layers (see below),object styles, paragraph style sheets, etc. This master file is set at the front of the book and is used to apply these styles and master pages to the rest of the book’s chapters.

4. Noha also did something that I thought was genius (well she did many things but this is one). She set up her master template with layers for multiple outputs, eg. Layer 2 would have elements for an epub or pdf which can be turned off when exported for print.

5. The epub/pdf layer housed interactive buttons. She explained that while InDesign has a button palette and large resource library, you can create your own. You can also have rollover and button down states for added effects.

6. Using the master template, reapplying new styles is a snap. Simply change the master template file and synchronize that master to the book.

7. Footnotes! Not that I have used these in the past, but the fact that InDesign recognizes MS Word Footnotes and live-links the number to the note is awesome. If you reorganize your notes in the copy, the footnotes below swap accordingly.

8. Exporting out as an epub was simple and is really a cool way to distribute  your work.(You can view epubs on pdas and iphones easier than pdfs.)

There was so much covered (in just over 2 hours!) including packaging, table of contents, conditional text, grep styles, and more but I don’t want to make this a long blog post. But keep checking in our blog as we bring topics and techniques to your RSS!

In case you’ve missed it, the CS4 versions of Flash, Fireworks, and InDesign have received updates in the last couple of weeks.

• Flash PM Richard Galvan lists the issues addressed in the Flash release, including performance problems & crashes.
• InDesign’s 6.0.2 update (download for Mac, Win) includes the cumulative fixes from the 6.0.1 update (posted in February). For a list of fixes, check out its release notes (PDF), plus info on previous updates.
• Of the Fireworks update, newly minted Fireworks PM Bruce Bowman writes, “This updater fixes the most common bugs that we know about in Fireworks CS4, including numerous text shifting problems, stability issues on Mac and Windows, and bugs related to pasting text from Microsoft Office applications. The team would like to thank you for your patience as we developed this updater.” Here are the full release notes (PDF).

Smart Guides/Spacing

Say goodbye to the align panel with smart guides. As you move frames around on the page, guides will temporarily pop up and help your frame snap to the right spot. If this annoys you, don’t worry since you can always turn it off.

Spread Rotation

If you work on packaging, you will wonder how you ever worked without spread rotation. This alloys you to temporarily rotate a spread 90° and make changes. This will really save your neck.

Table editing in story editor

Overset text problems in tables are now fixed forever. Before CS4 it was impossible to edit the overset copy in a table, but now we finally can. As an added bonus, InCopy users will be able to track changes on tables too.

Redesigned Links Panel

The new links panel has been completely redesigned from the ground up with an almost ridiculous amount of information. You can now choose which information you want to see including effective resolution, thumbnails and status. The ability to sort the links by these traits is also incredibly useful.

Preflight Panel.

Preflight is finally fixed! This is hands down the most useful new feature. Preflight is now very customizable. You can set up warnings to stretched images, missing fonts, live area and much much more. The best part is that once you have a profile set up, ID is constantly checking it and will let you know if there is a problem and even offer how to fix it!

Flash Export

There are now two new different ways to get your ID layout on the web. The first option is the ability to export your pages as a swf. This lets you make a simple slide show of your work, or the ability to move between pages of a magazine. The second way is to export your layout as a XFL file which can be opened inside of Flash. This will allow a flash developer to add rich interactivity to your files and create a dynamic website.

1. Select your inline object with the selection tool.
2. Go to the Object > Anchored Object > Options menu
3. Change the position option from “inline or above line” to “custom”
4. Now it is an anchored object and you can freely move the graphic around the page.
