Stay Calm, There’s a Fix for That
Glitches, gotchas, and gremlins—every InDesign user hits a wall now and then. Fonts go rogue. Documents crash. Overset text hides where you least expect it. And just when everything looks fine, your file slows to a crawl or refuses to export. Sound familiar?
This session is all about what to do when things go wrong. You’ll learn how to spot common (and sneaky) issues, understand what’s really happening under the hood, and get practical strategies for fixing problems fast—without derailing your deadline. You’ll leave with a smarter, calmer approach to production troubleshooting.
Topics include:
- Key troubleshooting techniques from the pros
- The first steps to take when InDesign begins crashing
- Understanding and managing InDesign’s preferences files
- Tools that can dig you out of the deepest hole
- Intelligent file building to ensure problems are kept to a minimum.
