>> PePcon (the Print + ePublishing Conference) is for anyone who’s on the front lines of creating publications and wants to peek over their own cubicle to see how others are tackling the same challenges. In the two-day multitrack event (plus pre- and post-conference workshop days) we dive into the “how-to” and “why” of print and digital publishing in a broad and deep way, covering InDesign, HTML5, PDF, print production, iBooks Author, mobile app development, CMS’s, Editorial workflows, EPUBs, Kindle publishing, and more. Each speaker provides a detailed PDF handout, and typically the final compiled Speaker Handout distributed to attendees is over 400 pages long(!). The seventh annual PePcon is in San Diego, June 5–8, 2016. Register and reserve your spot today!

Choose which Preflight Profile you want Live Preflight to check against on the fly from the pop-up menu, found to the left of the Live Preflight reporting section (red dot or green dot) at the bottom of the window.
