Our Adobe InDesign training course uses the latest version of InDesign. If you haven’t upgraded yet, all courses feature work from earlier versions of InDesign as well. This two-day, instructor-led course is for mid-level Adobe InDesign developers. Designers will build a strong foundation of typographic, page layout, and document-construction skills that will enable them to produce a broad range of print and digital publications – from a simple postcard to an interactive Adobe PDF with form fields. Students will work with colors; advanced text and object styles; graphics; tables; transparency; printing and exports; creating Adobe PDF files with form fields; and creating a fixed-layout EPub
