Overview of this book

Adobe InDesign is the leading desktop publishing and layout software for producing brochures, magazines, flyers, books, posters, and a wide range of digital documents. It allows you to rapidly draft your documents with precise control over typography, images, positioning, alignment, color, and other interactive features. However, InDesign’s interface, tools, and workflows can be a bit challenging to get to grips with. This cookbook will assist you in building unparalleled InDesign workflows with tried and tested recipes. With Designing the Adobe InDesign Way, you’ll learn how to add and edit content, create color swatches, and use features such as tables, all while applying software best practices and techniques to ensure that your work is fast, efficient, and easily maintained. Additionally, you’ll explore advanced InDesign features such as text styles, parent pages, tables of contents, and pre-flighting. Finally, you’ll take a closer look at the many export options in InDesign and ways to truly maximize its capabilities. By the end of this book, you’ll be well equipped to draft and design your own projects while ensuring your work is compatible with industry standards for print and digital documents.
