InDesign CS6 is desktop publishing software for the age of mobile, offering state-of-the-art features like Adaptive Design Tools, which let you repurpose layouts to look great on a variety of page sizes, orientations, and devices. And of course it does everything you expect InDesign to do, giving you precise control over text, images, and colors so you can create amazing designs. In this Learn by Video course (created in partnership with our friends at Peachpit Press), Adobe Certified Expert Kelly McCathran takes an in-depth look at InDesign CS6, from the very basics to advanced features like book-building and dynamic content.

In this InDesign tutorial we will learn about the process of assembling multiple files into an InDesign book and then managing and implementing features across this book.
We’ll begin this process by learning how to quickly create files for our book using a document template. From there, we’ll break down what an InDesign book file is, looking at both book page numbering as well as synchronization. Next, we’ll shift our attention to several features that can be implemented across our book file that will really add to our long document. We’ll learn how to create a table of contents, footnotes and endnotes, as well as an index for our book. To wrap things up, we will explore some of the batch processing options available to us when we are ready to output our book file.

In this InDesign tutorial, we will learn how to build interactivity into our InDesign projects for both PDF and Adobe Flash output.
With the emergence of the eBook and ePub file format, building interactivity into layouts has become quite popular. So we will get started with this tutorial, and explore first the features of InDesign that are exclusive to creating interactive PDFs. We’ll learn about things like bookmarks, hyperlinks and buttons. In addition, we will also learn how to add both audio and video files to our layouts. From here we will begin exploring features that are exclusive to output for Adobe Flash. We will learn about things like multi-state objects as well as how we can create animation right inside of InDesign.
