Create an InDesign document

Body copy text can be typed in or edited in InDesign, or copied from Microsoft Word

File naming

Keep it short and relevant, keep the file extension. Client_Project_part.inddClient_Project_part_final.pdf

Prepare images from digital stills cameras or scanned photos

Images saved in Jpeg (.jpg), Photoshop (.psd) or TIFF format can be ‘placed’ or dragged straight onto a page.

Export a Press Quality PDF, copy your pdf to your USB stick to take to a bureau for a colour print.

If you have a particular requirement for your printing, liaise with your bureau or printer first!.

To export a PDF suitable for web or email, export using the smallest file size setting.

WORKFLOW OVERVIEW

File management

Images ‘placed’ onto an InDesign page don’t become embedded in the file but become linked to the InDesign document.

Create a folder in your Home directory or the desktop, (or My Documents in Windows) - save files there and keep them in this folder so the InDesign file maintains its links to the photos.

Saving files to your folder in Home or the desktop is particular to that mac ONLY, (ie not accessible from every computer) so back up your work by copying over to your USB stick, plus the Labshare server each time. Don’t work directly from a USB stick or server space, as InDesign files can become corrupt very easily - always copy over first.

Working in the PC labs:

NOTE: Every PC is set up to erase all work from the desktop or document folder when the computer is logged off or shut down for the day.

Be sure to copy your folder with your document and images to your USB memory stick or whatever memory device your using.

When starting up again, copy your work over to the PC.

Do not work directly from your memory device.

The ‘Precinct’ template.

The page below appears as page 1. Pages highlighted are 2 & 3 on the Precinct Pages palette. note: When saving a new document or template, you Save As, give your new document a

name, save it to a folder, preferably on your desktop. Save all other images and graphics to that same folder your document is saved in.

Follow this procedure to avoid problems when you print or make a PDF.

Highlight the Pages Palette then double click on a page

to bring it to the centre of your screen.

LINKS for images and graphics on a document.

When an InDesign document and images folder has been copied to a USB device or portable hard disk, don’t open your work directly from a USB device, that folder with the document and images should be copied from the portable device to your computer, then opened. If a warning sign appears showing: Missing and or Modified Link(s), you can choose, Update Links, this will help you to relink your images and graphics.

When an image is placed on your layout, it’s linked to the location the image is held, (your document should be in the same folder) InDesign doesn’t copy the image to a layout in full resolution, it saves a reference or link to the location where the original is filed. When necessary, InDesign accesses the image for printing, or making a PDF.

This process allows you to import many images and graphics onto your layout without significantly increasing the file size of your document. Your document can remain a small file with many linked images because they are linked and not imbedded in the InDesign file. The links palette can help you relink files if a link is missing or modified.

If you didn’t update the links when opening a copied document, the opened

Links palette, (right) could show missing and modified links. This

example shows two missing links and what page they

are on (page 1), also one modified link.

With the modified link highlighted, you can also see

additional information on that link.

The pic on the far right: Highlighted is the modified link,

then the cursor is click on the top right corner of the

Links palette, the option chosen is, Update Link.

Bottom far right pic: All the links are in Place.

If the link is missing for an image, that image will be pixelated when you print, it will also be pixelated in a PDF.
