Meeting Summary

Preflight Deep-dive
Wed, Feb 25th, 2009 at 6:30 PM
Adobe Regent's Park
Event Details

Jon Bessant's welcome return as a presenter at the IDUG gave us what many of the regular attendees thought of being the best talk so far, and the new members were equally impressed.

Jon's depth of knowledge is incredible, and although the majority of the presentation was about live preflight in InDesign CS4, there was also a lot of Acrobat preflight information which was appreciated by those who haven't yet managed to upgrade to IDCS4.

The break-time quiz had almost everyone taxing their brains to attempt to correctly identify 21 InDesign icons. While the answers were rolled out, there was a good opportunity for some short demos, which provided a good segue into the brief demo of snippets and libraries.

As requested, a PDF of the ID icons, along with a couple of tips is available for download (at the bottom of this page).

Thank you

As always, we are very grateful for the support given to us by Adobe, including the loan of such a great venue.

We also couldn't get by without the generosity of our sponsors:

• Academy Class for the fabulous refreshments
• Jon Bessant of Certitec for his time and willingness to share his extensive knowledge with us
• Insider Software and Stock Layouts for such great prizes

Comments from attendees
