InDesign How-To: Adding Custom Sizes to the Page Menu
Every designer has the need to create a custom page size every once in a while. But if you regularly need custom page sizes, it can be a pain to redefine the specs. InDesign has a nice feature that lets you add custom page sizes to the Page Size pop-up menu.
That means what was once a custom setting is now a preset available in your Document Setup dialog.
If you’re an InDesign user and you routinely make odd-size documents, then you’ll want to read this clever how-to, written by Adobe InDesign evangelist Tim Cole.
We’ve posted this feature as a PDF file. All you do is click the link “Adding Custom Page Sizes to the Page Size Menu” to open the PDF file in your Web browser. You can also download the PDF to your machine for later viewing.
To open the PDF, you’ll need a full version of Adobe Acrobat (5 or higher) or the Adobe Reader, which you can download here:
