This guy needs to be a little more concise and get to the point faster – he rambles too much, this tutorial is valuable, but could have been about 50% shorter.
MP,
Sorry you feel that way.
I have to take into account all those people who may not know as much about InDesign as you.
Jeff
Hey Jeff, that’s a really interesting tutorial. Thanks!
Is it possible to download this podcast on iTunes? If so, where do I find the link for this video?
Thanks! I love InDesign tutorials!
You are right Jeff … that you taking into account all those people who may not know as much about InDesign as me

Una Pregunta que tamaño es el documento
Para la pagina ya diagramada y que tamaño debe de ser la imagen
Thanks Jeff.
It is very clear tutorial for the beginner like me
Thanks everyone!
@ Pablo: Glad you liked the tutorial, but sorry, I do not speak Spanish
Best,
Jeff
Well – I like the rambling =]
And this tip was what I was looking for because I managed to do it once but forgot how I did it.
Very valuable because some printers ask for the pdf’s to be delivered this way.
Hi MattS,
Glad you liked it and didn’t mind the rambling.
What rambling?
Best,
Jeff
hi..
have tried to watch the tutorial but its failed to open yet i even have the adobe flash player..
Can you send it to me on my email.
Hi Balinda,
I’m afraid this video will be too large for enail.
Try updating your Flash Player at Adobe.com
Best,
Jeff
GREAT TIPS, I really enjoyed them! show us how to create own shortcuts and labelling automatically, as well as setting automatic custom formats for headings and interesting custom designs. Finally, show us leading and kerning for type-driven bookcovers etc which need to use huge fontsize with tiny fontsizes. THANX!
hey thanks
just what I was looking for and some goodies besides! Thanks Jeff!
Hi Jeff….Pablo was asking what the document size was for this tutorial and what size the image needed to be.
@Pablo: el tamano es 8.5×11
para imprimir, la imagen deber 300 para estar seguro y tener claro despues impreso.
I told him (as best as I could) that doc size is 8.5×11 and for printing, the image should be 300 to be safe and to be clear after printed.
A little late, maybe….but hope this helps
Great tutorial, btw…I was jimmy riggin my covers as a single, 11×17 page that I would print and manipulate to work with my files!

MP must have super-important things to do in his/her day, as they can barely spare 6 minutes out of the entire day to watch a free tutorial they admittedly deem as “valuable”.
I wanted to say thanks to Jeff for the GREAT tutorial – I’m fairly new to InDesign (although quite familiar with other Adobe programs) and this was tremendously helpful. I for one, appreciate the attention to detail provided. Keep up the good work!
Jeff, can this tip work in Indesign CS5? Because I’ve tried it and I was not able to accomplish it. Thanks.
