Print workshop four.

Creating PDF's in indesign; 
Press quality is the option that is used to create a PDF file when you are sending work to a commercial printer. 
Smallest file size may be used when uploading a PDF digitally. 

Postscript file option;
You use the print option to make a postscript file which creates a file that is similar to a PDF. 
To create a PDF from this you drag the postscript file into acrobat distiller. 

With making a booklet into a PDF there's no direct option to save as PDF so you have to create a postscript file first and then convert it using the option above. 

Placing PDF's on a particular paper size to utilise space.

To get them in the centre choose this option and then press the icon to the left that shows centre alignment. 

When placing the actual indesign file within indesign you need to view the options for placing. You need to select the slug bounding box as there is no option for crop marks. 

Once you create your own crop marks and select the slug bounding box it now shows them properly so it will all be placed. 

Due to the fact there is a mistake on the postcard you can then go back to the original file because you've placed the indesign file and correct the mistake. 

Then when you go back to your other page a yellow triangle will appear in the links pallet to state a change has been made, if you double click on this triangle it will update all of the files to the correct spelling. 

 Booklet layout on larger stock. 

For the booklet to be printed correctly, 2 and 7 and 4 and 5 needed to be turned around 180 degrees. The options above show how to do this and you need to make sure the object is selected. The small icon with the sqaures on allows you to select around which point the object will rotate. 

Keyboard shortcuts. 

You can access glyphs via the type option in indesign and this is where you'll find any obscure symbols such as the one for 'degree' as in rotation. 

Another way of accessing the shortcuts is through the mac system preferences. 

Once you've ticked the top box option you'll end up with this little square icon with an asterix in it.  

When you click on this you can open up a keyboard like this and when you press certain shortcuts for example ALT it will show all the shortcuts of numbers etc you need to press along with this to get a different symbol. This works across any font.
