Event Details

Have you ever wondered if there are easier, simpler, more efficient ways to get things done in InDesign? Wonder no more. Cari, Nicholas and Darrin have the answers! Cari Jansen from Typefi will take us through some of the basics of bringing XML into InDesign as way of creating a more automated workflow, it will provide some cool examples of how and when to use XML and how to automatically format the content as it’s being run-into your InDesign templates. Cari will also demonstrate the Free Typefi AutoFit plug-in, which enables the creation of relationships between InDesign objects and automatic text frame resizing based as more or less content flows into a frame. And if you deal with print advertising, you're in for a treat! Nicholas and Darrin from Goya will be unveiling one of their latest products that will simply blow your mind.
