Brochure - is a too simple text box and it will cause issues with printing?

Hello

I'm on a timeline that is tight with very limited experience InDesign and I edit a template for a trifold brochure.

I mostly just replaced the text and pictures, but in a few places, I need to add text. My question is if I need to apply paragraph or character styles or if I can just create the text in a text box with normal and content headers. It will be sent to a printing press so I make sure it's going to look right and I don't want whether amateur or take shortcuts, but here learning curve is steeeeep! It's really me stressed out, and I'd have the time to learn all aspects of the application in order instead of choosing.

Paragraphs will look something like this:

The position type type type type

type type type type type type type type

and there are 5 of them on the column on the left of a brochure. I am well aware, I'm over my head here, but I'm trying to make happen and do it right. Sorry if this is Cringe and thanks for any input.

Added text that is style without paragraph styles or character won't affect printing.

Do what you do.

Then, make sure that you use file > package to assemble all the elements of your layout, including the fonts to send to the printing press.

Or, if you send a PDF file, ask the store what PDF preset you use.

You should be OK.

And breathe!

    I just updated my indesign to CC of CS5. One thing I notice which is annoying is some text boxes and images go live. For example, if you close a text box in CS5 you close the box you see reformat the text to set the new size. In CC, the text does not reformat until you are done change the size of the box. It's the same for the images when resizing or rotation re. You don't know what you have until its finished. If you are a little guess instead of see what you're doing while.

  • text box and the size of the selection list

    I text boxes and select the entry in the form.

    I have the width of the box text = 200px html property and select entry have CSS style width 200px.

    It shows the same width at design time, but the much shorter run-time text box, and then select list.

    Are there assets that I can configure to adjust their width to the same to make the shape as more enjoyable?

    Your information and help is much appreciated,

    Yes, experiment, but use a browser view, not DW for final verification.

    You can also experiment using Firefox addon "Firebug".

  • How can I edit a PDF file to have an expanded text box and more small margins?

    I just read a long discussion initiated by a guy who wanted to reconstruct a PDF file to print less pages. I do not ask this topic. I am aware that Acrobat 9 Pro will not recompose the pages in a PDF for you. as someone has said, it is not a word processing program. I want to copy a PDF file into a new file with an expanded text box and more small margins, so I can read it more easily. My view is not so great.

    I try to print a U.S. supreme court decision, for my study. The problem is that these PDF files of such decisions are composed of 10-points with generous margins, in pages of Folio-size smaller than 8 1/2 x 11 "." When you open PDFs of these decisions, you get the margins very broad and relatively small characters. Essentially, I would like to re-rasterize the document so it prints on my 8 1/2 x 11 "paper in a larger size of apparent type, but at the same high resolution as the original. Moreover, the decision that I'm getting is almost 200 pages long, so I won't do that, of course, in a page-by-page manner.

    I guess I could do it in Photoshop, in pages to blow and their culture. Photoshop does a good job of eliminating aliasing when you do this. But it seems to me better to re-rasterize pages of the source PDF file. If any player would be nice enough to explain this process? (I'm fairly warned in Photoshop, Illustrator and printer of computing concepts, but a complete newb in Acrobat).

    If you want just this for printing, one thing you can easily do is to crop all pages to remove the margins. For example, you can RP 2 "on the left and right sides, and 1.5" off the top and bottom. Then print using a Scaling of the Page to "adapt to the printable area.

    To crop in Acrobat 9, select: Document > Pages of culture

    Be sure to select all for the page range.

  • Help on resizing text boxes and the General image techniques

    Using CS2.

    I have two fundamental questions.  We have to do to get the best images to vector (with text) that I can for placement in InDesign documents.  The other relates to the specificity of work with text in FW boxes.

    The easiest way for me to produce vector images has been using PowerPoint.  I do all the graphic work, and then save it as a gif file.  I don't and then cropping in a graphic (Irfanview, PS) tool insert or place the image.  As long as there is no resizing, things work fine.  I do not know how things like IPR are controlled using this technique but I'm assuming that would be also with the graphical tool.  I know that Irfanview allows the CIO to clarify when resizing.

    The problem starts to appear when the gif object is resized.  Things are distorted and I lose the freshness of the image content.  I'm certainly not an expert on the graphics but I thought either, there is no resizing (just a cropping) or 2) to work in a tool such as FW where (I guess) so I need to make 1) actual size charts PP size of the final image placed there are better abilities to resize the vector images.  My feeling (again, not an expert) is that converts the process I use for vector graphics in PP to a bitmap image in the gif and resizing does not work as well for bitmap images with respect to vector objects.  Don't I have that right?

    Go to question 2:

    Can the text boxes be resized in FW without distorting the text?  Their size is visible when initially drasing them?  Maybe spoiled by PowerPoint, I like to define the width of the vector objects (e.g. rectangle) and the width of the text it will fill at the same size.  (I know that PP has the opportunity to put borders on text boxes, but when you work in FW I need to work with 2 objects, the rectangle and the text box).  I have a wide 81px rectangle.  Can I set a text box to 81px wide without distorting the text?

    I tend to want to control the dimensions of the real object so I can get good spacial alignment.  For example, I tend to set the width of a text to an odd number of px object so that any line that comes out of the text object coincide well with the text.  I must admit that it was perhaps time for me to use a different technique in FW (for example an alignment more than objects multiple vs knowing dimensions and locations seting).  My approach does need improvement?

    Thanks for the tips

    As I wean out of PP I started watching FW and Illustrator (I have both).  I did a logo or two in FW and have used it to build simple web graphics (e.g. buttons, menus).  It can, I believe, be a little more complicated than what I need in this case.

    Given that the PP is not a graphics program, its drawing capabilities are very limited. As a result, all graphics applications will have many more features that you are used to see and more that you need for a project.

    I did a little experiment with Illustrator and my first impression is that it will work better for me for this job.  It seems a little more intuitive.

    Is a general rule to use FW for graphics for the web and Illustrator of what I was doing in PP?

    Your suggested orientation is good. Also note that if you make a logo or a vector graphic in Illustrator (saved as .ai format), you can import into Fireworks and work with it as a vector object it. FW can import and use, simply create no, files and .ai objects.

    FW has some vector tools, they are hidden under window > others > Path. Because the FW is intended to produce Web graphics, it is a hybrid, capable of vector and image/photo editing application. Given that she has some of both, it is not necessarily what is Illustrator, nor all that Photoshop has. It has most of the features of the two programs, as long as the feature is useful for a Web graphics designer. For pure photo retouching Photoshop has the edge; for pure illustration, Illustrator has the edge. Both Photoshop and Illustrator supports profiles of colors and other important features for printing which is not the fireworks. All are good programs, but there are reasons to prefer one over the other according to the type of graphics, you need to create or work with and what is your intended use of the work. (But none of them will be greater than PowerPoint!)

    I'm not sure I can unravel the mystery with the resizing of text box.  I suspect theres an option is selected.  Knowing that it's possible, it's enough for me to do some homework.

    Maybe... don't think that text boxes at all. You have text objects. The object has a bounding box which is determined by the underlying definition of the police, but he is not in an text box. (Sometimes swooshs goes beyond area of definition of a character in the police, but that's another question). The bounding box of the text object is similar to the of a circle or a star or an irregular shape bounding box. There is a reference to the dimensions box, but the text is not inside some other independent container.

    To resize it, select the text object and change the font size using the Properties palette or using the tool of the ladder hanging out on a corner of the hierarchy (different from the bounding box, and I don't know why, sorry).

    I think that with Illustrator, you can set text (or other) boxes and fill them with text. * Research * Oh... Like these: http://school.tatoland.com/illustrator/aitype.html

  • the pages for iOS - how to resize a text box and forms manually

    I added text boxes to my sheet. However, I can't get close to the size I want, which is not noticeable to someone else, but I wish they were accurate.

    example: I want to 1inchx4inch. but now the box and adjusting the size I can get 1.02x3.98. 99x4.01, etc.

    I know it still looks the same as the sizes are extremely close, but if there was a way t adjust by entering the desired size that I would rather do.

    Thank you

    Hi aswad,.

    If it is a file that you edit on your Mac you can certainly do here in the Inspector.

    If you are only in iOS with this you can try zooming in - you can have more control over it.
