The winning entry was submitted by Jim Leonardson, InDesign freelancer in Chicago! For his prize, he chose an autographed copy of Real World InDesign CS6, which is on its way. Here is Jim's list: In the Info panel flyout menu; select File Info to see the image name in the Title of the window Hover the cursor over the link icon in the upper left corner of the image frame. A tool tip appears with the file name. In the Structure pane of the document window, flip down the Root tag, and other tags until you see the “href” and the full path name (In the contextual menu “Select in Structure”) [ED: after first applying an XML tag to the image with the Tags panel] Use the Layers panel; flip down the layer name to show the contents. The link name is shown inside angle brackets. In the Preflight panel, if there is a broken link or document profile violation the link name will be shown. Use the Object > Captions menu or contextual menu to generate a caption. Use the contextual menu, in the Graphics flyout menu select Reveal in Finder, Bridge or Mini-Bridge. If there is a caption that happens to be overflowed, it can be seen in the story editor, tagged as “Text variable live metadata caption name” [We didn't think this should count but it's interesting because it has "Story Editor" in it] In the Package dialog box, under Links and Images it displays name, type, page, status and ICC profile. [He thought of this one "while doing yard work" after we told him he'd won] A wonderful effort, but Jim missed a few. Here are additional correct answers, compiled from all the entries we received: Add image to Library, name appears in Library preview Select image and open the Animation panel, name populates the Name field Apply any preset animation to the image to see its filename in the Timing panel Add image to Articles panel [pulls the filename from the Layers panel, see Jim's #4 above] In the File > Package dialog box, click the Show Report button, all image filenames are listed there [listen to our argument about this in the podcast — fun times!] Add an Image Name variable (Type > Text Variables > Insert Variable > Image Name) to a text frame that touches the image If the image name was included in its XMP metadata [not a default state, and not something you could do in InDesign] you could reveal it by choosing the relevant XMP field in the Object Export Options > Alt Text (or Tagged PDF) area Option/Alt-double click to Edit Original (or choose the command from contextual menu), name is revealed in native editing program. [Technically not an "in InDesign" solution but it's fairly close] Export to EPUB or HTML and look in the mark-up code [Ditto] Use a script that creates a list of filenames [see Links above] Final note: We love that Bonnie Barrett told us in her entry that she tried to find one in CS6's Content Collector — great idea! — but, alas, no luck.

With all the talk of the iPad and other tablet and eBook readers out there I thought I'd take a few minutes to walk you through how you can create ePUB documents directly out of InDesign CS4 today! 

This episode of Dirty Words Design shows you how to harness the power of two InDesign CS4 features—GREP Styles and Live Preflight—together to automatically detect if your document contains specified placeholder text, such as the dreaded "page XX" reference or notes from editors to layout or vice-versa.

Making Contact Sheets in InDesign makes sense because you can easily adjust them or format them after the fact. However, in InDesign CS4 the way you make them has changed. In this episode I'll show you how.

Dalla prima versione della Creative Suite, l'integrazione tra i diversi applicativi è cresciuta sempre di più, permettendo di velocizzare il flusso di lavoro in modo impensabile fino a pochi anni fa. Illustrator CS4 supporta finalmente più tavole di disegno nello stesso documento e InDesign CS4 permette di sfruttare a fondo questa funzionalità importando una o più di queste tavole all'interno dei propri file. In questa puntata Ivan ti spiega nel dettaglio come gestire al meglio questa opportunità. Questo episodio corrisponde alla lezione 18.4.0 del Corso professionale su DVD: Adobe InDesign CS4.

Scopri come creare rapidamente un layout per provini a contatto inserendo più immagini in una disposizione a griglia. Durante il trascinamento del cursore di importazione ""caricato"" con le immagini, è possibile utilizzare i tasti freccia per controllare il numero di righe e colonne presenti nella griglia finale. Pensa in quanti casi questa funzione ti può tornare comoda! Questo episodio corrisponde alla lezione 18.3.0 del Corso professionale su DVD: Adobe InDesign CS4.

Ad ogni nuova release del software l'area di lavoro viene continuamente ottimizzata rispetto alle versioni precedenti: Adobe InDesign CS4 non fa eccezione. In questa lezione Ivan ti mostrerà le principali migliorie introdotte prendendo in considerazione elementi come il riquadro applicazione, la barra applicazione, la visualizzazione a schede dei documenti, le modifiche all'aspetto dei pannelli e degli strumenti sia su piattaforma PC che su Mac.
