In the latest episode of InDesign Secrets on lynda.com, Anne-Marie Concepción describes a terrible malady that has bedeviled some InDesign users for years. It’s called Live Preflight Blindness and it causes you to not notice InDesign’s Live Preflight feature working at the bottom of the document window to show you potential errors like missing links, broken URLs, missing fonts, etc.
In the video, Anne-Marie shows a nifty shortcut to open the Preflight panel quickly, as well as how to use the panel to navigate to errors and view instructions for fixing them. And she also shows how to create your own simple custom preflight profiles that will flag the specific errors that cause you trouble.
