Week 14 - Studio B

today we learnt how to create book files! a book file allows you to compile different documents and save them as a whole, so all the pages are combined. this will be useful for us when doing our group project as we will need to submit all our documents combined together, as a book!

to create a new book file, go to File > New > Book. type out a name for the book and then save. to tell the difference between book and document, just look at the extension. the extension of document is .indd while book is .indb (the b stands for 'book' clearly). no document or new window will pop-up, just a book palette.

this is an empty book file:

to add documents to the book, just click on the plus sign at the bottom of the book panel. in the book panel, you can rearrange the documents according to pages. the book panel will also tell you how many pages it has, and what number page are those. to save the book, just click on Save Book As in the book panel menu. to create a PDF of the entire book, just go to Export Book To PDF in the book panel menu.
