Question 10

How can you determine the filename of an imported graphic in your document?

Answer 10

Select the graphic, and then choose Window > Links to see the graphic’s filename highlighted in the Links panel. The graphic appears in the Links panel if it was imported by choosing File > Place or dragged into the layout from Explorer (Windows), Finder (macOS), or Bridge.

Question 11

What is the difference between dropping a background with a clipping path versus with transparency?

Answer 11

Clipping paths are vector drawn paths that create a crisp, sharp edge. Photoshop images that use transparency to remove the background create a soft, blended edge between the graphic and the background.

Question 12

What is the difference between updating a graphic file’s link and relinking the file?

Answer 12

Updating a file’s link simply uses the Links panel to update the onscreen representation of a graphic so that it represents the most recent version of the original. Relinking a selected graphic uses the Place command to allow you to insert a different graphic in place of the selected graphic.

Question 13

When an updated version of a graphic becomes available, how do you make sure that it’s up to date in your InDesign document?

Answer 13

In the Links panel, make sure that no modified link icon is displayed for the file. If a modified link icon is displayed, you can simply select the link and click Update Link. If the file has been moved, a missing link icon appears in the Status column in the Links panel, and you must locate it again using Relink.

Question 14

How do you scale an imported graphic and its frame at the same time?

Answer 14

Press Ctrl (Windows) or Command (macOS) and drag to scale either larger or smaller. Adding the Shift key keeps the graphic from being distorted.

Question 15

What is a quick technique to make a duplicate of an object and place it in position at the same time?

Answer 15

With the Selection tool, press Alt (Windows) or Option (macOS) and drag to the desired location. A copy of the object is created at the new location, and the original object remains in place.

Question 25

What’s the best way to make the color of a frame lighter when it has nothing behind it that needs to show through?

Answer 25

Use a tint of the desired color

Question 26

How do you apply a transparency setting or effect to different parts of an object?

Answer 26

Choose one of the levels in the Effects panel: Object level applies to the object as a whole, but you can also choose Stroke, Fill, or Text levels and apply separate settings to each.

Question 27

If you’ve applied transparency effects to an object, what is the easiest way to apply the same effects to a different object?

Answer 27

Select the object to which you’ve applied transparency effects, and then drag the FX icon displayed on the right side of the Effects panel to another object.

Question 28

What is the importance of the stacking order of layers and of objects within layers when you work with transparency?

Answer 28

The transparency of an object affects the view of objects below (behind) it in the stacking order and the appearance of the front object. For example, objects below a semitransparent object can be seen behind it—like objects behind a colored plastic film. By changing which objects are above (in front) or below (behind), the resulting color and/or effect can be quite different.

Question 29

How do you remove transparency effects from an object to which multiple effects are applied?

Answer 29

Select the object, and then click Clear Effects (Image) at the bottom of the Effects panel. This clears effects, blending modes, and opacity settings. Clicking the trash can clears only effects. You can also choose Clear All Transparency from the Effects panel menu.

Question 30

What is a limitation of applying effects to text?

Answer 30

Effects can be applied to the entire text frame only. They cannot be applied to separate words within a text frame.

Question 31

When is it better to use a tint instead of an opacity setting?

Answer 31

It’s better to use a tint when the object has nothing below it with which a transparency effect will interact, such as when it’s on top of a white background. In other words, if you simply want to make the object lighter and not have anything behind show through, use a tint.

Question 32

Question 40

What problems does InDesign look for when using the [Basic] (Working) profile in the Preflight panel?

Answer 40

By default, the [Basic] (Working) profile in the Preflight panel confirms that all fonts used in the document or inside placed graphics are available. It also looks for linked graphic files and linked text files to confirm that they have not been modified since they were initially imported, and it warns you of missing graphic files and overset text frames (as well as unresolved caption variables, inaccessible URL links, and missing fonts).

Question 41

A way to organize elements in InDesign files that are intended for digital output is

Answer 41

Articles panel

Question 42

What elements does InDesign gather when it packages a file?

Answer 42

InDesign gathers a copy of the InDesign document along with copies of all the fonts and graphics used in the original document. The original files remain untouched. If you choose Update Graphic Links In Package, the links in the packaged InDesign file will be linked to the packaged links folder and not to their original location. If you select Include IDML, InDesign creates an IDML version of the document that can be opened in previous versions of InDesign. If you select Include PDF(Print), InDesign creates an Adobe PDF (Print) version of the document. If you choose to include a PDF, you can also choose a PDF preset. Note that Adobe Fonts are not packaged.

Question 43

How can you find where a color is used in an InDesign file?

Answer 43

Click the swatch in the Swatches panel and then choose Find This Color from the panel menu. It’s helpful to first choose Add Unnamed Colors so that all colors in the document are displayed in the Swatches panel. Or open the Find/Change dialog and click the Color tab. Then choose a color from the Find Color menu.

Question 44

What is the fastest way to replace one color with another?

Answer 44

Click the swatch that you want to replace in the Swatches panel and then click the trash can. When the dialog opens, replace this swatch with the desired one. This is the most efficient way to make sure a particular color is consistent throughout a document.

Question 45

What are the two industry-standard ways of preparing final files to send to a service provider such as a commercial printer?

Answer 45

The two standard methods are using a press-ready PDF with bleed and using the InDesign Package feature to create a folder with all components the service provider needs to work with the file (InDesign file, fonts, and linked graphics).
