Hello guys!
Although designer myself for many years now I was always unsure whether one can design a whole brochure in a single file without this being risky. And I do not mean keeping a back up, because we all do this. In the past with Macromedia Freehand for example it was considered 'dangerous' to design a multiple pages booklet or bochure in one file because sometimes the program was so overloaded with text and images that could maybe create a problem and never open again! Now, with Indesign I tend to keep only up to a certain number of pages in one file because I'm always afraid of a problem arising if I put too many. Particularly now I'm creating a brochure with 60 pages in total with much text and too many high resolution images (.tifs and .psds) in InDesign CS3. Should I split the pages in two files? Or 60 pages are not considered that many to be afraid of the file breaking? I do not know how many pages one InDesign file can handle if of course there are a lot of images and text.
Any suggestions are warmly accepted! Thank you.
