Charts in InDesign

Sooner or later, the time comes for every InDesign user when we need to create or insert charts into our documents. But sadly, even after all these years, Adobe hasn’t given us a way to do that natively with the program. Fortunately, in this session, Nolan Haims will take you on a deep dive into strategies for creating rich data reports in InDesign using tools you already have (or which you can easily obtain).

He’ll cover ways to create standard and non-standard charts, maintain design consistency, and even keep data updatable when needed.

Topics include:

• Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF workflows for keeping data dynamic and editable
• Maintaining accuracy with manually created charts
• The pros and cons of Illustrator and other chart creation tools
• Moving beyond bars and pies with more unique chart styles
• Accessibility considerations and techniques
