Dear colleagues! We work with you in the field of information business. And he, as you know, stands on “three pillars”. The first “whale” is seminars, lectures and trainings, the second whale is information material, the third is individual consultations. I offer an illustrated guide on how to make a book at home using improvised means. In the manual, step by step, the book is transformed from an electronic form into a normal paper form. I wrote everything in great detail so that a beginner could cope. What you need • Adobe Acrobat Professional • Quite Imposing Plus http://ifolder.ru/19564138 • Desire and , Sometimes there are pdf files with protection against copying, printing, etc. and to get rid of this trouble you can use the program: • Passware Kit (http://www.lostpassword.com/) which will save you from it. After that, you can do whatever you want with the file. Preparing a PDF from *.txt, *.rtf, *.doc First of all, you need to create a document in Microsoft Word with an A5 sheet size (148.5x210 mm), and set the margins. To do this, in the “Page Settings” window, set: Parameter: Pages: several pages “mirror margins” Parameter: Margins: Top, Bottom, Outside - from 10 to 16 mm, and Inside from 25 to 30 mm (this distance is necessary for binding) On the Paper Size tab, set A5 accordingly. If anyone is interested in calculating more accurate and professional sizes of sheets and fields of paper, then this can be read in Jan Tschichold’s book “The Image of a Book” Moscow Book 1980, and the above dimensions are given to save paper. Next, a text file is inserted, the font size is set, formatted, etc. Regarding the font, it should be noted that for headings it is advisable to use a sans serif font, i.e. sans serif (Arial, Tahoma), and for body text with serifs like Times. If the book is intended for children, then a sans-serif font is used for all text, as it is better perceived by children and worse by adults. This tutorial uses "Minion Pro" for the body text and "Pragmatica" for the headings. It is better to make the font size of the text for a sheet of A5 size 12 point, but in order to save paper, you can make it 10, but not less than 9, as it can damage your eyes. For special economists, I advise you to choose the “Garamond Narrow” font, since it is made specifically for compact text layout. After the file is prepared, it must be converted to pdf format. To do this, you need to click on the “Convert to Adobe PDF” button (appears after installing Acrobat Professional) In the window for selecting a name for saving a PDF file, click on “Options” and set the following settings: That’s it, the file for further imposition is ready.
