InDesign Training

Looking for help.  I mean not to take away from any Adobe revenue stream, but my company has tasked me with setting up a half-day training session on InDesign for some instructional designers (just the basics) and one on Acrobat Standard (review/markup tools).  We are investing heavily in these, but that software investment ate up our budget.
Anyone have an leads on training outlines?  Resources?  Anything?
Thanks in advance...

Yes, I do know that now.
Looking for an outline to kind of get a head start planning what I will teach.  Most of the instruction is going to focus on using a template we are setting up.  Would love to pass the business around, but we sucked up the budget on buying the software (several copies of each).  Have to get Adobe to drop their prices so the rest of us can get some business....hmmm...not so sure that will happen...

    Ich bin angehender ACE für Adobe Indesign.
    Ich schule Sie und Ihre Mitarbeiter für dieses Programm, sowohl Grundlagen, als auch fortgeschrittenen Techniken.
    Nutzen Sie die Gelegenheit, den Umstieg oder Neueinstieg in dieses moderne Layout-Programm zu wagen!
    Und das begleitet von einem kostengünstigen Training.

    Hallo !
    Wir als Unternehmen haben lange Zeit einen 300 Seitigen Produktkatalog mit Bildern und Texten im Pagemaker gepflegt. Jetzt testen wir seit einiger Zeit Indesign 1.5.2, da uns dieses Programm die Möglichkeit bietet, die Seiten in reines HTML umzuwandeln. Haben sie bei der Schulung auch Erfahrungen in diesem Bereich ? z.B. haben wir als Schriftart für den Katalogdruck = Helv gewählt und als Schriftgröße = 8. Problem bei der Umwandlung ist das Helv für den Druck zwar gut ist, doch fürs Internet zu wenig verbreitet darum Arial; die Schriftgröße 8 ist bei Umwandlung zu klein (kaum lesbar) und deshalb ist mind.10 zu wählen. Kennen sie hierfür eine Lösung die sowohl für den Druck als auch für das HTML in Frage kommt. Denn alle Textfelder wo die Größe von 8 auf 10 geändert wird bekommen ein rotes Kreuz und können nur manuell einzelnd vergrößert werden (sehr mühselig.).Des weiteren bekommen alle Bilddateien die umgewandelt werden ins jpg Format andere Bezeichnungen als vorher,kann man diese nicht beibehalten ? anstelle Bild1, Bild2 etc , denn es kommt nachher zu gleichen Bildnamen und überschneidungen.
    Es wäre uns eine große Hilfe wenn einige dieser Problem behoben werden könnten.

  • Missing plug-ins help? CS5 Adobe InDesign

    I'm trying to open an .indd file on an InDesign training cd and it says missing plug-ins conditional text.rpln, worldready.rpln, and dynamicdocument.rpln. (I think the version of InDesign I have may be a trial version). Where can I get these or what can I do???? I'm running Mac 10.6.7. Thanks

    What you have is a version mismatch. ThAT's the kind of message you receive when trying to open a file saved in a newer version than the one you are using.
    On window, go the help menu and press the Ctrl key while selecting About InDesign. On Mac it's under the InDesign menu, and you need to hold the Cmd key. This will open a detailed "about" dialog with the full version and build inthe upper left corner. What is it? What version is th training disk labeled for?

  • Using multiple guides to help with layout

    Hi,
    I have seen in lots of Muse and InDesign training videos that the designers are using multi guides which run vertically. The guides are set with a wider gap, then a narrow gap, then a wider gap etc. I know this to aid layout and create a more uniform spacing.
    Can anyone tell me the method used to create the guides and how the gaps (wide and narrow) are calculated.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    In the new site dialog box on the upper right side. The wide ones are the columns and the narrow are the gutters. Hope this helps

  • Is inDesign the best product for publishing an interactive training manual?

    I am building an interactive training manual for a fire department and I need to find out the best way to publish this document for use on an iPad or other tablet.  I will be embedding video, text, and photos, along with stacking photos for the 360 degree view.  So far I have read that there is a 2GB size limitation for articles.  I've also read that there is was way to publish privately if it becomes difficult to download from acrobat.com.  I would like this training manual to be all inclusive without having to break it up into multiple articles.  I would like to embed over 3 hours of video, over 200 photographs, over 260 pages of text, and have interactivity throughout.  Is this out of inDesign's scope?  Is there a way to publish this large of a document to multiple iPads without using the App Store or Android Market?  I'm just starting out so I'm looking forward for any constructive help I can get.

    HOW interactive are we talking here? Buttons with rollovers, menus, or the ability to fill in answers like a workbook?
    A freelance client of mine wanted to prepare a workbook with "interactivity" and all looked well... until i was told what "interactive" meant. This example was a science workbook for schools which behaved as a facsimile of the normal book which would be filled in by hand, except that answers were not always checkboxes or text. Sometimes answers would be:
    plot a graph
    draw a picture of an amoeba (for example) and label the parts; or draw the diagram of isopropyl alcohol;
    fill in a crossword
    join the correct reducing agent to the correct oxidising agent
    AFAIK this kind of interactivity isn't possible with the off-the-shelf indesign, and i don't know of any third party software which provides this kind of interactivity. Yes, the author could have been asked to rephrase the questions to fit the limitations of indesign's fill-in forms and interactivity, but the author did not want this.
    Also, is tablet-specific software the right platform to use? Perhaps a website with a paywall may be a better form of distribution and construction, allowing a RIA (Rich Internet Application) to be made for the project.

  • What happen to TOTAL TRAINING, where i can buy a tutorial in DVD of a creative cloud CC Design: InDesign, photoshop, illustrator, acrobat?

    Many year ago, i bought the entire collection of DVD of Total Training of the Creative Suite Design, and came with InDesign, Photoshop, illustrator, acrobat, version cue, and was wonderfull learn all, now 10 years ago, i try to get now the Creative Cloud CC for Design, and only found tutorials online, or with Lynda.com any sugestions?

    Looking at the current options readily accessible on Adobe.com, for students and teachers it appears that the only options are to get the entire suite for $20/month or the photographers bundle (LR + PS) for $100/year thru Aug 29, so not sure what the price would be, now, so no there is not a way to get 3 apps for cheaper than the entire suite, since there is no single-app price.
    If it’s any consolation, for non-educational individuals, the single app price is $20/month and the full-suite price is $50/month, so for three applications like you want to use, it’d be cheaper to go with the full-suite than buy three individual app subscriptions.
    The bottom line is that as a student or teacher you’re able to access the full suite of apps for the price of a single app once you’re out of school, and that is as low as Adobe will go.

  • Features not Exporting in InDesign CS6?

    Hello, all!
    I am relatively new to InDesign, but I'm trying to create an interactive PDF for my job where, when image A is rolled over, Image B appears (and then disappears when the curser is rolled off).  I've done a few tutorials and read up, as well as played around with the program itself, so I was pretty confidant. 
    My problem: Image A has a drop shadow, and is set to trigger Image B to appear and reappear on rollover/off, not click.  When I view the SWF preview, or export to SWF, everything looks and functions as expected.  However, when I try to export to an Interactive PDF (on my mac), Image A loses its drop shadow, and no longer works as rollover, so Image B never appears.
    Oddly enough, Image A almost acts as if it's a click button, where a hidden transparent square appears around it when clicked on--but nothing happens.
    Below is the intended appearance when the curser is rolled over Image A (which is the M!), with Image B as the text box/container:
    Then the following two pictures are of the exported Interactive PDF file; Image A (M!) has no drop shadow, and in the first picture there is no rollover effect, and in the second picture, when Image A is clicked on (which was not the intended action) the box appears.
    What's going on?  I've found that even in exporting, for example, a tutorial file from a lynda.com training exercise, once again, click actions work, but rollover never do, whether as a reveal or an image change, etc.
    Thank you!

  • How do I change the text color of footers on select pages? (InDesign CS6)

    Good afternoon,
    Months ago, I worked with a graphic designer to put together a 100-page workbook for my training company. He turned all of the files over to me and I'd like to make a small change before we print another run for a new client. Specifically, I'm having trouble changing the text color on select pages. Since a picture says 1,000 words, let me give you an example:
    As you can see, the copyright information on the right side of the page is difficult to read here when placed over the photo (you may have to look closely, but it's along the guy's sleeve). What I'd love to do is change that part of the footer (not the left, page number side) to white text. This would make it quite a bit easier to read. There's a number of other pages in the book that I want to make this change to. I'm not sure why I never noticed it or mentioned it to the designer. I suppose I've become more discerning since then.
    Let me tell you what I've tried to do:
    I learned how to override master pages by CTRL+SHIFT clicking on the footer. However, this has not worked for me. It allows me to change the page number part, but not the copyright side. Additionally, sometimes when I override the master the formatting of the footer goes goofy. For instance, the left side and right side come together and end up in the middle of the page I'm working on.
    I'm looking for a quick way to go through and make the footers easier to read on pages where they are backed by a photo. Hoping you can help me. Please let me know if you need any other information.
    Best,
    Taylor

    I think you should have left it as it was. It seems like what you had was single pages flowing as spreads within InDesign. Like below. That is the correct way, and when you changed it to all single, it did create your footer problems.
    Will you be sending the file as a PDF to your online printer? If so, then leaving the InDesign file set as below is fine. The PDF output will separate the pages.
    All you have to do is make sure that Pages, not Spreads, is chosen when you output the PDF

  • How to change Default document size for CC Library Graphics (InDesign)

    Good morning --
    I have just discovered the amazing uses of the CC Library setup in InDesign and would love to be able to use it as a tool to collaborate template galleries amongst coworkers.
    I work in an industry that offers many different templates for our Marketing pieces available to the sales team. What we have in place right now is about 50+ different templates in their own packaged files. Now, this isn't all that difficult to maneuver around, but the CC Library has made it so I can "drag and drop" templates into place. This drag & drop feature is easy enough for me to grasp, and with the proper training it should be with the rest of the team (should being the keyword). However, in some cases if you double-click on Library graphic it opens the file in it's own editable file with a custom document size of 8.5x11 Portrait (which I imagine to be the internal InDesign preset).
    My questions therefore are when I double click on the library "Graphics" can the document size be anything other than 8.5x11? Can each Graphic have it's own document preset?
    - If I open a file that is set for landscape, all of the "Graphic" falls off of the spread.
    - Some "eblasts" are much longer than 8.5x11 (sometimes as much as 8.5x20), thus knocking some of the "Graphics" into that weird space area.
    Please let me know if I am not being a clear enough.
    Thank you!
    Steve

    @Steve – you are totally clear what you are doing and what you like to do.
    But I fear an automatic setting that is creating the page size according to an asset's size does not exist right now.
    I can change the size of a new document beforehand, if no document is open and create a new size in the document's properties dialog with the keyboard shortcut alt + cmd + p (in my German InDesign on Mac OSX 10.7.5). But you have to know in advance what size that should be.
    Example: If I chose A3 instead of A4 (my default) when no document is open and double click an asset in a CC Library the asset will be placed in a one page document sized A3.
    1. Changing the size (no document is open) in my German UI of InDesign CC-2014.2:
    2. Double click and the result is according to the settings I made:

  • Where can I find a Javascript developer for InDesign scripting?

    Hi
    as
    I apologise in advance for posting on a technical site for InDesign developers, but our company (Dorling Kindersley) is looking for a full-time permanent developer to join our team. I've been looking for some months now and I would really appreciate some advice on where or how InDesign scripters look for work, as our role is quite specialised.
    We can offer an attractive package and although I'm biased as I work there, Dorling Kindersley really is a nice place to work - fun, friendly and super creative. I would welcome advice or for someone to approach me if they're interested.
    It's advertised as full-time and permanent but for the right candidate we can offer flexible working conditions.
    Best
    Heather Hughes
    Publishing Technologies Software Developer (permanent role)
    We’re looking for an enthusiastic individual keen to join our Creative Technical Support team, to create, maintain and enhance software tools for our creative and operations teams around the globe. This is a permanent full-time role.
    Each tool is a script or collection of scripts that allows DK to automate their creative workflows, from checks that spreads and covers have been created correctly to automated deployment of colour settings.
    The ideal candidate will have solid experience of using scripting to command Mac OS and Adobe products, have strong analytical skills and be curious, patient and willing to learn new skills. If you have design, publishing or print experience this will be an asset, but we can help fill in the gaps with training and guidance. You’ll need to be a ‘people’ person as most of the people you’ll come into contact with won’t have a software development background.
    Not only do you get to work next door to Covent Garden, in the heart of London, but  you’ll be welcomed into a small team of  friendly and irreverent geeks, who are experts in Adobe applications and workflows  and helping creative teams overcome their technical problems. Lunchtimes are often spent getting out and sampling the local cuisine in the vast number of restaurants and eateries around the office.
    You’ll get to work in a relaxed, sociable and friendly environment, working alongside our award-winning creative staff to develop their ideas for tools and get satisfaction from freeing them up to be even more creative.
    Skills required:
    Excellent skills and experience in using Javascript
    Experience of working with Macs and Adobe applications preferred
    Other programming skills and experience an advantage, e.g.  Applescript, Adobe InDesign Document Object Model, XML structure, TDD, Shell Script, Obj-C, C++ and Xcode
    Ability to learn new technologies swiftly
    Why work for DK?
    DK is an award-winning global publisher of distinctive, highly visual products for adults and children alike. We have a reputation for producing innovative design and digital products.
    Everything we make from books, eBooks and apps give unrivalled clarity to topics with a unique combination of words and pictures, put together to spectacular effect.
    We produce content for consumers in over 52 countries and 42 languages from offices in Delhi, London, Melbourne, Munich, New York and Toronto. We celebrate our 40th birthday this year, and we are enormously proud to be the world’s leading illustrated reference publisher.
    You’ll  be joining an awesome and highly talented, diverse and creative team, in an environment where everyone is encouraged to learn and coach new skills, as well as having the opportunity to grow and develop with people who are passionate about what they do.

    Hi Heather,
    I think you've found probably the best place possible to post this opening.
    I personally am interested, and would like to pursue this further. My email is admin [at] freelancebookdesign.com
    Thanks,
    Ariel
