All language subtitles for 15 Troubleshooting InDesign.en-US

Our design is done.

Congrats on this milestone.

Before we end this class,

I want to teach you how to troubleshoot some basic errors that

you may found after finishing your InDesign project.

Now I have copied and pasted this document with missing links.

I'm going to open this.

Adobe InDesign say,

this document contains 16 links to sources that are missing.

You can find or relink the missing links using the Links panel.

You are going to click "OK." This is what we talked before in some lessons.

That you should have a folder with

your links and your text and not all over around the cloud,

and the hard disk, and your documents.

No, you should have it in one place.

In this case, because we move this document from place

is saying that the links are lost.

Now I'm going to open my Links panel.

I'm going to go to View if you don't see them,

I'm sorry, to Windows, Links.

You have your Links panel.

Over here you can see question marks is saying this is missing.

I'm going to go and click on top of one of them.

I'm going to look for the place that I have my images.

I'm missing here Caribbeans arches white. This is this one.

This is looking for that image that is lost.

Now it says, you know what,

I have found all of the other links there,

I'm going to click "OK" and now they are all updated.

Whenever you're loosing an image,

you can find it through the Links panel.

The other thing that may happen sometimes is that let's go to this page.

This image is called reflecting sun,

I'm going to go to that image here and I'm going to change it to reflecting moon.

Now I have another lost link.

I have a question mark here.

If I go to our Links panel it's saying,

this image, you need to relink it.

I can't find it anymore and then I'm going to double-click or go to this icon over here.

Because this is not the same name in different ways.

This is the same place with a different name.

That's another thing that can happen.

You're going to go and double-click on this same image in

the same place but with a different name, you're going to double-click.

Now, it's relinking,

if you change name again or move it to

another place this is what is going to be happening.

But whenever you see a red dot here or over here in the bottom,

you see errors, you're going to click this arrow.

Go to Preflight Panel.

This panel will prompt you errors.

Maybe it's a box that have text and you can see all the text you need to expand that box.

Any error that InDesign says that you have something to fix,

it will be here.

It will be in red over here,

and it will say that they are how many errors.

When you open the page, it will say,

which page is that error, for example,

let me change again another arches let's say bridge.

Now again, there's another error.

Here you can see the Preflight panel,

the links, missing links is in the page before.

If you double-click you select the image,

you go again to the link,

will be here and double-click the image and it's fixed.

You have to keep these things in mind.

That's what I said at the beginning of the class that organization is really important.

This may also happen with text.

In this case, I'm not going to delete my text because that will create a bigger problem.

But basically you will be prompted a window and you will

be given the option to substitute that text or just open the document.

As it happens to me before,

and just change the text,

selecting the text, and choosing another font.

That's how you fix the most common problems inside InDesign.

What if you want to print this document?

If the client that you send this

downloads the portfolio and print it in an office printer.

Well, first of all, congratulations.

As I said before, they loved you.

It will probably look okay, decent.

Keep in mind that these people are experts in their fields and

know all the nuances of our monitors, papers, and printers.

That's why Pantone is a standard for this kind of job.

Now, if you're going to print this portfolio for an event,

or you're going to be sharing pages or the full portfolio,

I strongly recommend that you will design

this portfolio intended to be printed by a professional print shop.

The first step is to research your provider and ask for specifications.

It is a standard to print in CMYK,

and not RGB as we design here.

But some online providers will use other technologies and ask for the document in RGB.

As a summary, you need to work in CMYK not RGB as we started here.

Your images need to be exported in 300 ppi,

not 72 or 150,

and you need to add and work with bleeds.

Now, whenever you find any of these issues in InDesign,

you know how to solve them.
