What is the best way to do a double page spread for a magazine?

I'm trying to put together a magazine and would like to double-page spreads in it, but my printer has asked that the magazine sent him into single pages.  If I have set up as 'pages face to face' and then change of unique pages when I'm done, if this will upset my page layouts double?

Set up as faced with pages, then when you make the pdf DO NOT CLICK SPREADS.

When you click Spreads you ask InDesign to produce a PDF file or page 2 or 3 are joined, and 3-4 are attached etc.

When you have chosen Spreads Indesign product then one Page pdf.

A single page, this is what is required by a printer with the pages running in the reading order of page 1 - finishing (for example).

Do not attempt to impose the document yourself.

Be sure to include your crop marks and your purge.

Sidenote on the crop and bleed marks:

Crop marks are needed to adjust the page size when printing. Printers do not print to the edge of a tarpaulin, as it's almost impossible to cut a sheet of paper to the side of a color - color shall extend beyond the line of culture, it's called bleed.

When you're bleeding of the document, for example, to extend any item that is returned right to the foredge (edges in front of the spinal column), then you need to extend this object off the page in a box of "bleed."

This allows for human error when it is cutting paper, as each leaf is not truncated individually (which take forever!) they are stacked on the other and cut each into piles. It would be impossible to stack all the sheets exactly the same and there is a movement on the press, offsetting so the movement and the fact that they can never be stacked exactly-why you need objects to extend beyond the edge of the page.

Crop marks tell the guillotine operator where to cut the sheet. Once they have the measures in their guillotine machine it is a simple matter of rinse and repeat with as many piles of paper there.

And printers can sometimes bend and cut a brake job, and since it is a machine and you keep mechanical errors and human error, you must bleed too.

Bleeding is important - if you do not add bleed, then, the object stops on the foredge of paper. And if the blade MIC/crops near the object, but the young woman with a Ribbon - then you have a small piece of white on the piece of paper, which is highly undesirable.

If you need crop markers so printers know where exactly to cut paper and cut in the purge so that you don't have any white chips.

And Yes you must crop marks even if you do not bleed, if you have no purging it is likely that the edges of the paper are all white, there is no marks where to cut to the right size you want. Therefore, crop marks appear anything.

And the placement of the crop marks is important. As I said earlier, the crop are to let the guillotine operator know where to cut the page so that it sinks in the background box lost. The background area lost to allow a mechanical, physical, and human error. And saw that the purge can sometimes be included in a final printed piece, it is not desirable to have anything other that bleed objects in the background box lost.

For this reason stagger you your crop outside the substantive area landmarks lost. As I am in Europe I work mainly in millimeters, so I had put my region to purge must be 3-5 mm (check with your printers for what purge you should allow) and I had put my crop marks offset of 1 mm more than the purge (i.e., 4-6mm).

This ensures that the crop marks do not infringe the substantive area lost. If your crop marks do not infringe the lost bottom box, you run the risk of the landmarks of crop on a piece of paper final.

So in summary

Make sure you have bleed if necessary on your document.

Add the desired amount of purge - in my case 3 to 5 mm.

Offset guides to crop so they do not infringe the substantive area lost - in my case 4 to 6mm.

(purge depends on requirements of printers - make sure that stagger you your crop marks to be outside the substantive area lost).

  • What is the best way to make big changes of color for items that are already selected?

    CS4 on Mac. I want to do some color changes. So many options! It is posed, for the items in question, they are already a good, saved section that describes also the colors, the new colors I want to use are recorded to the color chart. And one of the changes is a little extreme - satuaration, hue and brightness. In these circumstances, what technique of color change would try first?

    If you mark a specific point in the image and the shade with the color sampler tool, you can use the curves to match the values. Unfortunately, with a reference to singlepoint, as RGB color changes it can also change the tonal scale and local contrast and can even change color in the image. The best solution, especially if one of your samples consist of a significant change in the value is color LAB where color and tonal scale are handled in separate channels.

  • What is the best way to make a certification page using headings to TOC?

    I work in FM11. I need to make a layout of certification with each title (title 1 - Heading7). Certification pages should look like this:

    Date of certification Section (Headings1-7) Pass Do not Comment

    I have 20 pages of table of contents, and if there is a relatively simple way to create a table with the TOC titles that would go in the column heading, it would save a lot of time. Thank you.

    You could try a two-step. First create a LOP (list of paragraphs) which contain level headings you need (you may need to adjust the Scriptures of reference page to give up things like the page number).

    Convert a table from the list, then add columns and headers as needed.

    Hi all

    I am currently using T-Mobile and want to get the new iPhone 7. Since there is no option for a sim-free iPhone, what is the best way to buy the new iPhone? Should I get the T-Mobile one full fare? I know that he will be released version but it will come with a T-Mobile sim so what will do with the sim card? Put it away or give it to T-Mobile? Or should I wait for the version without card sim to appear, which I don't think that will come out until November, and I don't want to wait that long.

    Thank you in advance.

    If you do not want to wait to pay full price for the model from T-Mobile.  You can do whatever you want with the SIM card.

    Hello

    What is the best way to retrieve deleted mp3 files? I had a lapse of attention and I deleted a folder containing most of my music files. It is for the most part, the mp3 but there was regular audio files and some wav files in there also. I am running OSX Leopard 10.5.8 on a PowerPC G5 tower. I have another PPC machine to help the recovery, if I need, but at the moment, he is not appearing on my network (3 computers). I'm trying to change this soon. I'll be really grateful for any help in this matter.

    Thanks to Chris

    If you emptied the Recycle Bin after you move the folder to the trash, and you don't have a time Machine or another backup, then it is lost, sorry.

  • What is the best way to manage applications so that they do not fill a space of memory?

    I have an iPad Air Os9, 64 g

    However, I am already up to 39 g mem.

    What is the best way to manage applications if tat I can use them, but no pork then my mem space?

    y at - it an app that manages the apps?  should I delete and re-download a few apps later?

    I would like to take advantage of many more applications that I believe I have space for.

    You can see how much storage resumes via the settings app > general > Manage Storage - this screen lists each app space (the application and its content), total by selecting an app on this screen should tell you how much space the application content (files, documents, etc.) resumes.

    y at - it an app that manages the apps?

    No, iOS is a sandbox environment, apps can control or manage other applications.

    should I delete and re-download a few apps later?

    Depends on the app. deletion of an app will also delete its content, if it is an application where its content is important (such as documents), and that content is not stored elsewhere (e.g.)  Dropbox or cloud server), you may lose this content by deleting the app.
