If you are in the process of creating eBook or any other publication in InDesign, you might want to make certain part of the text pop just a little bit and stand out on the page. If the background is not dark enough for the white text to be readable on its own, we recommend adding drop shadow in InDesign. A drop shadow can add dimension by casting what appears to be the shadow of an object. And the best part is you can easily learn how to add a drop shadow in InDesign.
Drop shadow adds a shadow to an object, in most cases text, to give it a nice 3D effect casting a slight shadow. This guide will show you how to add shadow to text in InDesign. You can use the guide to add shadow to any other objet as well. However, be careful not to abuse this tool, as too much shadow can make the text hard to read. Also, we recommend not to use the drop shadow feature on text longer than a standard paragraph.
A lot of people experience the following scenario. You edit the drop shadow feature in InDesign, you export the file to PDF for easier share ability, but then there are more edits you need to make. At this point, you can choose to either open the file again in InDesign and make the additional changes, or edit it directly into the PDF file.
If you choose the latter, you need a great PDF software that can handle everything PDF related. The good news is that Wondershare PDFelement - PDF Editor is exactly that type of software. Effective and efficient, it can help you maximize document productivity. And it is a better and cheaper alternative to Adobe Acrobat.
What makes it so good? Well, it is all about the features that are as advanced and as premium as they come. Here are some of them:
With that in mind, here are two quick guides how to add comments to PDF document and edit the PDF document.
Start by opening the InDesign file you want to edit. Do this by either drag and drop, or going to "Open File…" button on the main interface.
To add a comment to your document, go to "Comment > Note", and then click here you want to place the note and make comments in the box. If you want to continuously add text boxes, double click the "text box" button and then click the places on the page where you want to add the boxes. If you want to move comments, or copy and paste, click on "Select" button after adding the comment.
To edit the text in PDF, click on "Edit" button on the left side, and then click the desired text. There are two modes available, paragraph mode that lets you edit the whole paragraph, and line mode, which allows you to edit single line at a time.
