Where? I can't find it.

You are right, I just noticed that the last update to my website doesn't show the top menu on some mobile phones. I'll fix it ASAP. In the meantime, try this direct link: https://www.blulapis.it/indexUK.html

Thank you for your feedback

Hello

Could you help me how to print one picture on several pages?

For example, picture size is 460x1970mm. I have to print it on A4 sheets.

Loved the data merge tutorial, but can you include sample files (especially the xls file) so I can use that as a starting point?

Hi 👋 @Lord McSquash my colleague Alan Stonebridge created an article on Spotlight about Data Merge, you might find it useful as it is filled with knowledge and  supporting material.

I would love to see some more information about handling color in documents. I am still struggling to understand the swatches tab and all the functions in it. I work as a production artist at my press company. There are times I have to take really bad PDF files convert them and make some sort of sense out of them so they can go to press. A lot of the time I have to get the mangled colors straightened out and make them uniform thoughout the document, but I am having a lot of difficulty doing so.

PS: Converting PDFs in this program is wonderful, it does it better than anything else that I have seen. Plus it makes PDFs so much better than any version of InDesign that I have worked with.

That list of videos is exactly what I needed. The playlist on YouTube is not in order.

This video will probably also help folks who are putting together an Amazon KDP book:

IMO, he is not very skillfull:

1. Defines margins when creating a new document, but totally ignore them when setting master pages elements;
2. Enters numeric values manually instead with mouse;
3. Leaving orphans / widows...
