| If you are looking for employment
within corporate desktop publishing departments, learning Adobe PageMaker
or Indesign is a must!, these programs are high-end professional publishing
programs, and is heavily used in many corporate production environments,
printshops, as well as some studios and magazines. These tutorials will
have you using this page layout application with ease in no time. It starts
with the basics, which includes the toolbox and pointer tool, various
views, and moving and resizing objects. It then explains the use of guides
and rulers, and drawing tools, and also goes in to detail on fills and
outlines, including setting a tint and how to create and edit colors.
Learn how to work with frames and blocks, how to format and work with
text, and how to add graphics and tables. You will also learn how to take
advantage of PageMakers newest feature, date merging. support for Illustrator
9’s AI files is rather more complicated. To begin with the dialog
is actually the same dialog as for importing Acrobat PDF files as Illustrator
9’s native format is now PDF-based. However PageMaker doesn’t
have Illustrator 9’s flattening technology so is unable to display
or print transparency effects. Generally it looks as if it’s better
to stick to the tried and tested EPS route especially as the EPS filter
has been updated to support PostScript Level 3 which is essential if you’re
intending to produce in-RIP separations. find out more in our Adobe Pagemaker
tutorials and online training
This training course is designed for fast learning and covers all the
fundamental points of the application, all cds work on a mac or pc and
no application is needed.
