“Access to information is a fundamental human right”

Ensuring that the PDF files you produce are accessible to all is not only a good idea, it’s the right thing to do! In this session, learn about what accessibility and “Section 508” means and how you can ensure that the PDF documents that you create from Adobe InDesign are accessible to everyone!

This tutorial is split into five individual sessions. In this session, we will journey through setting up an InDesign file for accessibility and giving your document the best chance for “out of the box” accessibility.

Topics include:

  • How to build an InDesign document the right way
  • Controlling content order
  • Using features that already exist in InDesign

InDesign Styles and Masters Deep Dive, Part 1

/in , /by

Anyone can build a house, but it takes skill to build a strong one that won’t fall down! In the same way, it takes skill to construct an InDesign document that is solid enough to withstand the test of time.

Even better, you want a file flexible enough to change when you need it to… like an hour before deadline (when your client or boss tells you to make a change).

In this two-part tutorial, we’ll learn the fundamentals every InDesign user needs to understand to make strong and resilient docs.

Part 1 includes:

  • Creating hierarchical master pages
  • Understanding why and when to use primary text frames and Smart Text Flow
