Like the other InDesign Trick, but knock out live text to reveal the background image.

1. create a text box, type something in it
2. set the opacity of the text box to zero
3. create another box for it to be knocked out of  (solid color is preferrable)
4.  Group the two objects together, and select ‘knock out group’ from the effects panel
5. the zero opacity text should now be transparent, allowing any background image to show through

Rorohiko develops useful plug-ins for InDesign. Especially useful is the TextExporter. It will export all of your stories in an InDesign document into a single file.

To Simulate texture of a lith print with Noise Filter

1. Create new layer (as smart object) and fill with neutral gray (128, 128, 128)
   • Gray is the pass through color for the “light” blend modes (Overlay, Softlight, Hard light..etc)
2. Put in some nois
   • Filter>Texture>Grain
   • Filter>Noise>Add Noise
3. Put in Overlay, or Soft Light to keep color the same. Vivid light will add saturation

1. Duplicate layer
2. Set layer to Overlay
3. Apply Filter > Other > High Pass to top layer
4. (Optional) change layer to smart object for more flexibility

From the Library’s dropdown menu, choose place and it will place item on the page at the same location it was originally.

Makes text into a image mask.

1. Text box bigger than image box.
2. Color text box white
3. Color text characters with “registration”
4. Change transparency to “lighten”.

Vary for different effects.

Looking for the full documentation for Adobe Acrobat 8? Well, it’s not on the CD, and it’s not even buried within the application anymore. At least it’s online… along with the manuals of all the other applications.
