eDesign Tips and New Features

Here are a few more features and tips to make the most of your eDesign experience!

New Background Colors function: Today marks the release of the new eDesign background fill option. Select the background button from the toolbar on the left, and then use the color picker to change the background color for each page. This new background layer can’t be accidentally moved, and is perfectly cropped to pass a preflight check. We also expect to add background image capability in the future.

New Bleed Line and Glue Margin warnings: An alert will inform users when they place objects in the bleed margin without reaching the outside edge. This will help alleviate preflight check issues later. Also, a warning will inform users when they place objects in the glue margin on the title page or closing page. Neither of these will force the user to change their design, they are just friendly reminders that the pages may undergo plant changes. If the user doesn’t want to be warned about these, they have a “don’t show during this session” option that dismisses the dialog box until they next log in.

Show Image Info tip: Need to lookup the filename, keywords, or other important info for a picture that is already on the spread? During page design, select the image, then click the Object menu > Show Image Info feature to see the relevant information about the picture.
