Introduction
This is what we'll do in this episode, checking the flyer with pre-flight, finding 3 errors, then fixing them one by one until the status is no errors. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe InDesign series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. This final module covers the production stage. Before the file is sent to print, InDesign can automatically check for common issues through the pre-flight feature. Open the flyer cafe file.
Step 1: Preflight red light
Notice the status bar at the bottom of the window, the red light and the number of errors. Double-click the light to open the pre-flight panel.
Step 2: Error list
The pre-flight panel uses the basic profile and groups errors into text, links, as well as images and objects. Click the page number next to the error to directly select the problematic object.
Step 3: Overset text
The first error is overset text in the content frame, the red flag in the corner of the frame. Fix it by enlarging the frame downward until all the text is visible, or by shortening the text.
Step 4: Missing link
The second error is a missing link, indicated by a red question mark in the links panel. The image file has been moved or renamed. Select the link, then click refresh and point to the correct file.
"Step 5: Photo resolution"
The third error is the cafe image enlarged until its effective resolution is below 200 ppi, so it will break when printed. Select the image then fill frame proportionally so the image returns to its normal size and its effective resolution increases.
' Step 6: No errors
Check the pre-flight panel again. All errors have disappeared and the status bar light changes to green with the text 'no errors'. The file is ready to export to print PDF.
Done!
Done. We have read the pre-flight light, understood the error list, fixed overset text, missing link, and low-resolution image, until it shows 'no errors'. In the next episode, we will discuss print colors, separation, and overprint. Need a magazine layout design, book, brochure, product catalog, company profile, or annual report?
