PRINT WORKSHOP NOTES// InDesign2

If you work in indesign the page order, the sequence in which pages are printed, will be worked out automatically. If you are screen-printing or something, just make a mock book quickly or draw a diagram.

In the pages list the 'A' in the top corner refers to the master page, when you set a new in design document every page is set on a master page, a blank page, you can add content you want to appear on every page by adding that content to every page. 

These master page text or image boxes will be locked, use cmd, shift and click to add content.

If you place the current page number on the master page, each page will be numbered automatically.

If you want to add a number to both right and left pages, you need to insert the current page number box.

Numbering and sections options will allow you to select which page the numbers will start on.

By selecting 'print booklet', instead of just 'print' you have extra options for the printing of your booklet.

Two-up saddle stitch is your classic book layout.

If the page size is A4 and I also have bleed, I will need to print on larger than A3 paper. This will accommodate the A3 size dps and bleed.

If you create a post-script file all images and text on the document will be saved with the document, rather like a pdf it allows the indesign document complied.

Acrobat Distiller can turn post-script file into PDF.
