Create and Layout

Documents
While creating a document in InDesign, instead of beginning with a blank document, you can choose from a wide variety of templates,
including templates from Adobe Stock. Templates include assets that you can build on to complete your project. When you open a
template in InDesign, you can work with it just as you would work with any other InDesign document.
In addition to templates, you can also create a document by selecting one of the numerous presets available in InDesign.

Templates
provide rich, inspirational, and reusable content for your documents. You can download templates from Adobe Stock that include
quality graphics and illustrations right within InDesign. You can then build on these templates to easily create documents that share
common settings and design elements. InDesign also provides blank templates with predefined dimensions and settings for common
tasks, such as designing business cards or brochures. Templates open as .indd files in InDesign.

Blank Document Presets


are blank documents with predefined dimensions and settings. Presets make designing for specific device form factors or use cases
easier. For example, you can use a preset to quickly start designing for the iPad. Blank document presets have predefined size, pages,
columns, orientations, positioning, margins, and bleed settings. You can modify these settings before creating a document using the
preset.

Templates and presets are categorized into these sets:


Print
Web
Mobile
Work with parent pages
A parent page (previously known as master page) is like a background that you can quickly apply to many pages. Objects on a parent page appear on all
pages applied. Parent page items that appear on document pages are surrounded by a dotted border. Changes you make to a parent page are
automatically applied to associated pages that commonly contain repeating logos, page numbers, headers, and footers. They can also contain empty
text or graphic frames that serve as placeholders on document pages. A parent item cannot be selected on a document page unless overridden.
Parents can have multiple layers, just like pages in your document. Objects on a single layer have their own stacking order within that layer. Objects on a
parent page layer appear behind objects assigned to the same layer in the document page.

Base one parent on another


You can create a parent variation that is based on and updates with another parent (called the parent parent) within the same document. The parent
spreads based on the parent parent are called child parents. For example, if your document has ten chapters that use parent spreads that vary only
slightly, base all of them on a parent spread that contains the layout and objects common to all ten. This way, a change to the basic design requires
editing just the parent parent instead of editing all ten separately. Vary the formatting on your child parents. You can override parent parent items on a
child parent to create variations on a parent, just as you can override parent items on document pages. This is a powerful way to keep a consistent yet
varied design up to date.
Work with parent pages
1. Definition:
Master pages are templates that contain common design elements and formatting, serving as a foundation for
other pages in your document.
2. Features:
Layout Elements: Master pages often include items like page numbers, headers, footers, and background elements.
Global Changes: Edits made to the master page automatically apply to all associated pages, ensuring consistency.
Multiple Masters: You can create different master pages for different sections of your document.
3. Uses:
Consistency: Ensure a consistent layout throughout your document by applying the same design elements across
multiple pages.
Time Efficiency: Save time by making global changes on the master page rather than editing each individual page.
Organization: Master pages help organize and structure your document design.
Work with parent pages
1. Benefits:
Uniformity: Achieve a professional look with consistent design elements across pages.
Efficiency: Streamline the design process by managing common elements centrally.
Easy Updates: Make changes to the master page, and those changes are automatically reflected on all associated
pages.
2. How to Use:
Create or select a master page in InDesign.
Add common elements that you want to appear on multiple pages.
Apply the master page to individual document pages or sections as needed.
3. Examples:
Page Numbers: Place page numbers on the master page, and they will automatically appear on all pages linked to
that master.
Logo and Header: Ensure a consistent logo and header across all pages using a master page.
