The font doesn't matter as much, only the content, and the lines. The documents I work with are 25-6000 pages, and they have to be perfectly set for taking notes, showing mappings. I often don't have the original text file, only a scan of a file, and I don't have the fonts that are used (a proprietary font to prevent piracy). It's a great idea, to put this into acrobat. It doesn't help much if you have 150 pages. That's great for one or two pages, or for when your text is all in line as one object. I'd like to build a panel with the tools, so they would automatically build what's needed, but for now I'll stick with freehand. Perhaps I should try only pages with a color shape with a specific name. But I haven't yet been able to figure it out. I'm working on scripts that print only pages that contain a Revision layer.
Each revision layer has three shapes, a white block to cover all underneath, a text block over that, and a pastel overlay to color the page in my view. I use a tablet pc when available, log in to CC, and use InDesign to create layers for lighting notes, sound cues, blocking, prop movement, and revisions. Step 5: From microsoft word, export back to Acrobat and you're ready to go.Īs a stage manager, you're always looking for ways to make things go faster. You should have plenty of excess space to work in. Step 4: open in acrobat, run OCR, export to Microsoft word document, and open with your favorite Microsoft or openoffice editor, add the line numbers or whatever else you need. Some actually like to print to pdf and OCR again afterward for good measure. You can save as an indesign doc for later use, but exporting back to PDF is a must. Eh? What? We just got to indesign! Why PDF?! Step 3: Use the plugin to place your doc in the center of the master. We'll be repeating these two steps later, so remember them. This will provide enough space for your line numbers to fit. Create the indesign document at a larger size than your original document. Once you have it installed in your scripts. You'll need one more software plug.For indesign. OCR if you must to straighten, no more no less.
Step 1: Scan your document and put it in Acrobat. I like to provide enough room for my line numbers, so I choose a page size larger than the original and go with it. Those will get you to the site where you can download a free plugin to allow you to import an entire document from acrobat to indesign, keeping your multiple page structure, all at once. Google "Place multiple page PDF in Indesign". Or maybe you're just looking to get some documents into a format you can mark up, share and discuss in open forum, or educational lecture. If you're like me, in a stage management class and you want to make a promptbook, you'll need a way to do this with any scanned document.
