All right, guys, it's that time where we discover what's really new in InDesign 2024.
So starting first with the hide spread feature.
So for instance here we do have the brochure and we do have multiple pages as you can see.
And let's say we don't want to show our client these two pages while we are exporting the file into
maybe PDF.
So in that case we will go to pages.
And I can click on these two pages in here which are 14 and 15.
Then I can right click and select Hide Spread which will show that hidden icon, which means that when
we export that file by going to file, then export and select PDF print for instance pressing save.
So while we're exporting we do have pages all and we do have spreads selected.
So we're going to be exporting two pages in front of each other.
And we don't really have to worry about excluding these two pages.
They're not going to be included into that exported PDF the other way around.
That is by selecting a range.
And in that case you'll type numbers like 4 to 5 comma and you type 6 to 7 and stuff like that.
So if we wanted to exclude 14 and 15, we're not going to be typing these two pages.
So in that case it's going to be saving us of course so much time.
And any time you would like to show these pages you can cancel that and right click to show spread.
Another feature will be including file name suffix and this simply means while you are exporting, maybe
these two pages in here into bag or Jpeg format and that exported files name.
You can include its file size number and stuff like that.
So let's go to File Export.
We can select Jpeg for instance, because we don't have any transparency within that spread save.
And here in the export options we do have suffix.
We can click on the plus.
So in that case we can add page number or size or even incremental numbers.
So I think let's go with batch size.
And in that case as you can see we do have example.
That's our files name added to it.
The size which is A4 size 210mm by 297mm.
We can click plus again to add page number or even incremental numbers.
And as you can see guys we can add three suffixes in that case.
And once we export that file that's going to be your file's name.
Another feature in Adobe InDesign 2024 is that you can publish online using Google's analytics instead
of Adobe Analytics, which is much better, by the way.
So if we go ahead and click File Publish Online, if you want to publish a newsletter or a PDF or something
like that, you can use InDesign for that matter.
However, usually designers not really into that, but it's good to know that you have that option as
well.
So here, for instance, we do have analytics.
And if you do have a Google Analytics account, you need to integrate your account number in here.
Then you can publish that and you're good to go.
You can check your documents, visitors clicks and searches and stuff like that.
Now in InDesign 2024, they are using Harfbuzz, which simply should be enhancing the look of some languages
like Arabic, for example, Hebrew, Indic languages basically.
So for instance, Arabic, Hebrew and other languages should be benefiting from that.
And by now they should be looking much better in InDesign.
Now, also in InDesign you can use Uxp plugins.
And actually plugins are existing also in Photoshop and Illustrator.
They can be productivity plugins, design assets and stuff like that.
And if you want to access them, you do have plugins tab in here where you can click on plugins panel,
or even you can browse plugins by clicking in here, which will launch your Creative Cloud application.
And as you can see guys, you can access that by stock and marketplace.
All plugins, not all of them are free.
However, now we do have filters InDesign.
You can search for plugins as well for Photoshop and Illustrator if you cancel that.
And if we scroll down, we do have Pantone Connect for example, and other cool plugins.
As you can see, some of them are specific to InDesign.
Another amazing feature in InDesign 2024 is Auto Style.
However, while recording this video, it's only available in English, International and English,
North America and German locals and assembly.
This feature will be easily enabling you to auto style your text, so if you do have plain text, you
can click on Paragraph Styles and click on that folder icon in here with that spark on it.
Then select from this pre-made auto styles to automatically have a title, paragraph, style for you
and stuff like that.
Maybe minor adjustments to adjust the spacing and stuff like that, but this could be saving you so
much time, or even you can create a new style back for you, or back style where you can define your
own title, subtitle, paragraph and stuff like that.
And usually each and every designer has his own taste and his own favorite phones.
So maybe you can set that one once and every time you're working on a brochure or any other publication,
you can quickly apply your own style and save yourself tons of time.
So I hope you enjoyed that video guys, that was Khalid Ibrahim with you.
Stay tuned and I'll be seeing you in next one.
