InDesign Conference 2025

No matter how great your InDesign document, it doesn't mean squat unless you can export or print it properly! Industry guru David Blatner is here to help. Whether you're designing for a commercial printer, preparing files for a client review, making PDFs, publishing online, or exporting graphics for social media, this session will help you prepare for that successful final step. You'll also pick up tips for understanding key output settings, and choosing correct formats for maintaining quality and ensuring accessibility. If you usually just pick a preset and run with it, you've only scratched the surface of InDesign's output capabilities! This session will show you just how much more you can do.

Bring your layouts to life with interactivity, animation, and multimedia—far beyond what static PDFs can offer. In this session, you'll explore InDesign's most powerful interactive features. You'll see how these elements work across different digital publishing formats, and how to choose the right one for your project. This session will help you confidently design and deliver engaging digital experiences that match your content, your audience, and your creative vision—by exporting to EPUB, Publish Online, or HTML. Whether you're building a digital magazine, an interactive presentation, or a rich media brochure, this session will show you what's possible, and how to make it happen.

Want to make a PDF that does more than just sit there? In this project-based session, you'll build a fully interactive PDF from start to finish using InDesign's interactive tools. With step-by-step instruction and shared files, you'll learn how to add functional elements like navigation buttons, hyperlinks, videos, and form fields—everything you need to create a digital document that's polished, clickable, and ready to share or submit. Whether you're designing a digital form, presentation, or interactive brochure, this session will give you the skills to bring your static layouts to life.
