How to merge multiple files into a single PDF using Adobe Acrobat
Adobe Acrobat is an incredibly versatile tool for document management and print production, that can save you a lot of time if used correctly. It's available as both a standalone subscription, or as part of the Creative Cloud All Apps subscription from Adobe, so if you have an active CC subscription, you have it already.
In this video we'll look at how to use Adobe Acrobat to combine multiple files into a single PDF, how to add pages to an existing PDF, and how to save time in a production environment by replacing specific PDF pages if needed, without needing to re-export an entire document.

How the 'Package' command saves your work | Adobe InDesign
มุมมอง 4.1K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Packaging is one of the basic InDesign features. InDesign uses files from many different locations in a single document layout, and keeping track of these links manually is not a great use of time. This is what packaging is for. A function of the program, the 'Package' command will gather up whatever files have been used in a given layout, and collect them for you into an organised copy. So all...

How to fix Widows, Orphans, and Runts in Adobe InDesign automatically with Styles and GREP
มุมมอง 31K3 ปีที่แล้ว
In typesetting, widows, orphans and runts are arguably the most common annoyances. Single lines which remain at the start or end of a column, or the last word in a paragraph breaking to a new line, can all contribute to make your type layout appear less professional. Fortunately InDesign has capabilities to handle these problems, and with a little bit of extra effort up-front, you can say goodb...

How to setup page numbering in Adobe InDesign

It's one of the basics - how to add automatic page numbering to your InDesign document. This is accomplished by using one of InDesign's built-in character placeholders, which you can insert into any flow of text you like. Typically you would insert this character into a text frame on your master page, which is what we're demonstrating here. #InDesign #pagenumbers #typesetting Full notes availab...

    Really interesting. Thank you. Can I please ask (even though this vid is now a couple of years old) if the process for removal of widows and orphans impacts the bottom balance of the pages (I.e. the balanced alignment of the bottom line across pages)? Thanks.

    • @nukefactory
      @nukefactory 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It does. This has been raised a few times in the comments since the video was published. In short, the main point of the video was to cover the use of GREP when dealing with runts. The inclusion of the short widows and orphans section was due to the terms all tending to be used interchangeably, to try to provide context. There was originally a longer segment in the video which further discussed methods of fixing the inevitable uneven columns that would result from using the Keep options, but it was removed in editing to get to the point (the GREP stuff) a bit faster.

      It should still work. I use it pretty much daily and haven't noticed any problems. Almost all of the time, when it seems to not be working, it's because there's a trailing space at the end of the paragraph.

    This worked great for my magazine that gets printed on gloss, but I am having saturation issues with another magazine I have printed (a kid's magazine) on a 45# Norbrite paper with (Coldset Web). Just wondering if you have any advice on how to export this or fix within my document. I have created my own color palettes to use only 3 of the CMYK options, but still have issues. I'm assuming it's more with the pictures I use. I have converted the document to CMYK color profile. What else can I do? And thank you for such a helpful video!

    • @nukefactory
      @nukefactory 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Might be a bit too specific to be able to offer any help here. My only suggestion is 'always talk to the printer, whenever possible'. They can hopefully provide help, and any decent printer wants the job to succeed as much (sometimes more) than you do.

    @BarbaraBlocksberg ปีที่แล้ว

    Please note - importing text like this does not guarantee that you keep all formatting. If the author of the word document used a paragraph style that for example has already "bold" in the paragraph style, there will be no "bold" override applied and therefore the imported text in InDesign will appear as regular text and not as bold text.

    I appreciate the video - but unfortunately this did not work for the runts (I have always known them as "widowed words") Whenever I click the "nobreak" it results in a white screen. I tried your plain text edit but it did not help. I will just have to do it manually which will be a Royal pain in the arse for a 20+ page brochure.
