Join Adobe Senior Solutions Engineer, Tim Plumer, on March 12, 2009, for the first in a series of eSeminars – specifically for University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign, Chicago, Springfield) students,

Session 1
March 12, 2009 - 10-11am
Adobe InDesign CS4
Register

Print publishing is undergoing a revolution, and that means you need flexibility to author not just for ink on paper but for anything. Adobe InDesign CS4 is more a platform for
authoring content than just a simple page-layout tool.

During this hour-long session, you will see how to:
•    Leverage your assets to better control the many parts of an InDesign project
•    Work with other Adobe and non-Adobe file types in your project
•    Automate many layout tasks to get your work done more efficiently
•    Spot and correct many problems that slows down the production of the work you are doing—especially when it comes to getting that work to output
•    Create different kinds of output—from print to web to just about anything

Get you on your way to a true multi-channel publishing workflow.

9:30-11:30 a.m. - Creative Suite 4: How Creative Suite Design Premium enables a cross-media workflow
Adobe Creative Suite CS4 Extended allows you to do much more than build a brochure, a Web site, or a video file. During this session you will see how the various Creative Suite applications, such as Adobe Photoshop CS4, Adobe Illustrator CS4, Adobe InDesign CS4, Adobe Flash CS4, and Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 combine to allow you to tell your story to a variety of people in a variety of ways.

12:00–1:00 Lunch and Learn: Adobe’s eLearning tools—a platform to build on (free lunch provided)
Adobe Systems, Inc. is best known for Acrobat and our creative tools. However, we offer tools dedicated to the task of creating excellent eLearning and distance-learning projects. Whether you are responsible for campus-wide eLearning strategies or simply interested in creating simple, on-demand lessons, this session will give you some food for thought about how to quickly and effectively move your projects into the digital age.
 
1:30–3:30 Empowering Learning with PDF and Adobe Acrobat 9
Adobe Acrobat 9 allows you to rethink the term “document.” With PDF—the Portable Document Format—you have been able to collect a variety of document types together and deliver a complete, in-context package of information to tell your story. Whether it’s a class assignment package, an electronic dissertation, or a grant proposal, PDF is a great way to hand your content to others.
