Bunch of InDesign Articles, Part 2
...in which David points out a bunch of new InDesign articles he's seen recently.
My, how time flies. In part 1, I see I was using Firefox. These days, I’m hooked on Safari 4. But the result is the same: Too many windows open, with too many articles about InDesign. Time to offload an share some of them with you!
- My head is in Interactive-land right now, as I’m doing some movies on the subject for lynda.com. So I was pleased as punch to see this little tutorial by Mira Rubin about building and exporting Interactive PDF files from InDesign.
- Michael Ninness wrote some wonderful tips for Layers Magazine’s “100 Wicked Tips” article. Some are CS4-only, but most are helpful for CS3 users, too!
- Rufus Deuchler wrote up a great explanation for why hyperlinks don’t work in exported SWF files until you put them on a Web server… and how to make them work.
- People sometimes ask me how to make all the text in a text frame a point larger or smaller. You can select all the text and then use the keyboard shortcuts, but that doesn’t always give you the control you want. So here’s a cool little script from Thomas Silkjær that lets you specify exactly how much larger or smaller to make the text.
- CreativePro.com ran an excerpt from Michael Murphy’s book about using styles in InDesign… this article is all about nested styles, and is a good read!
- I continue to have an interest in creating “accessible” PDF files from InDesign. This checklist from the US government might be helpful to some folks.
Enjoy!
