Adobe Creative Suite 4 Print Guide Available
Adobe has posted the new 139-page Adobe Creative Suite 4 Print Guide for free download. It focuses especially on printing and exporting from InDesign CS4, but also covers common technology between Suite applications, Illustrator CS4, Photoshop CS4, and Acrobat 9 Pro. This is an invaluable resource for those who have issues with fonts, graphics, printing, or exporting from InDesign CS4, as well as issues in how to prepare files for print. It’s completely updated to include all the new InDesign CS4 features.
Here are the main topics listed within the InDesign section:
- Preparing InDesign Documents for Output
- About InDesign Program Versions
- Text Features
- Rotated Spread Viewing
- Using InDesign Forensic Tools [Live Preflight]
- Finding Problems: Additional Forensic Tools [Separation Preview, Flattener Preview, etc.]
- Color Management Issues
- Working with a Book File
- Creating PDF Files from InDesign
- Printing from InDesign
- Helping Customers Prepare InDesign Files
The link above gives you access to both a low-res (4.6 Mb) and high-res (18.1 Mb) PDF of the CS4 Print Guide. Also available on the same page are links to the print guide for Adobe Creative Suite 3, which also has extensive InDesign CS3 coverage.
This is just brilliant. I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time.
Pity they couldn’t the folios correct side on the verso and recto
Anyway, thanks for the links and I’m sure once I print and bind this it will be just as valuable as any other book I have.
Thanks
Hey, I just write it. I have no control over the layout
Yep, I did the CS3 and CS4 revisions for this thing. It was a labor of love, but I didn’t understand the airy template. Guess it’s supposed to be visually relaxing, to soothe you if you work in a stressful prepress department (like there’s any other kind).
And in its past printed incarnations, it was one-sided, so the layout sort of made sense.
Anyhow, hope it makes the world safe for print.
