Converting an InDesign Layout to YearTech Online

Transforming a page from InDesign to YearTech Online is a simple process, but it requires some very specific settings. To begin with, the InDesign page should be the same size as your YearTech Online page. Confirm your yearbook’s Trim Size before you proceed.

Trim Within Margins Full Page Size Size With Bleed Size 7 44p x 59p 48p x 65p 8 48p x 62p 52p x 68p 9 51p x 68p 55p x 74p

• If you would like the converted-page image to fit within the margin guides of your online page, use the Within Margins Size dimensions. If you want the image to cover the page completely use the Full Page with Bleed Size dimensions.

Note: The edge of a Full Bleed page is where the printed page will be cut. Make sure nothing meant to be visible extends beyond the edge of the document.

• Once your InDesign file is complete review it carefully. Make sure that all of the fonts used in the file are installed on your computer. Confirm that there are no missing links and run a spell check. Your will not be able to edit your design once it is uploaded to your YearTech Online site.
