00:00:07:25 - 00:00:09:03
In this tutorial will learn

00:00:09:03 - 00:00:12:17
how to export Invent templates
which utilize spreads

00:00:13:25 - 00:00:16:05
so various configurations of page

00:00:16:05 - 00:00:19:06
spreads are available for export
from Invent.

00:00:19:20 - 00:00:23:12
These cover a range of scenarios,
including covers, differently

00:00:23:12 - 00:00:27:06
sized pages and editable inside
cover pages.

00:00:28:01 - 00:00:32:14
This quick guide will show you where
to configure and export those templates.

00:00:32:28 - 00:00:37:07
The associated page on the Infigo Academy
portal with this topic

00:00:37:15 - 00:00:41:16
will give you access to downloadable
sample resources, showing you

00:00:41:16 - 00:00:44:23
the different scenarios
in which these page configurations

00:00:44:23 - 00:00:46:15
can be used.

00:00:48:27 - 00:00:51:17
So to begin,
you just want to actually set up

00:00:52:00 - 00:00:56:19
your product template
as you would normally using Infigo Invent.

00:00:57:08 - 00:00:59:21
So this tutorial assumes
you've already have

00:00:59:21 - 00:01:03:08
the ability to set up
Invent templates within InDesign,

00:01:03:19 - 00:01:06:25
and this includes
the specification of resources,

00:01:07:06 - 00:01:11:13
variables, field properties
and other things of that nature.

00:01:12:28 - 00:01:13:26
If your InDesign

00:01:13:26 - 00:01:18:08
file utilizes page spreads
and you wish for those to be replicated

00:01:18:14 - 00:01:22:06
in your MegaEdit product,
there are a couple of additional steps

00:01:22:06 - 00:01:25:25
required prior
to exporting the template as a MEX file

00:01:26:05 - 00:01:29:21
ready for import into MegaEdit.

00:01:29:23 - 00:01:32:16
The first of these
is to go to the set up tab

00:01:34:08 - 00:01:37:09
and then navigate to the Other/MIS.

00:01:37:11 - 00:01:39:05
sub-tab

00:01:41:27 - 00:01:42:06
scroll

00:01:42:06 - 00:01:46:00
right down to the bottom and you'll find
another couple of options down here

00:01:46:00 - 00:01:49:22
which are page type,
cover type and booklet

00:01:49:22 - 00:01:52:28
editable inside.

00:01:53:26 - 00:01:57:18
So these options allow you to select
whether this template should be exported

00:01:57:18 - 00:02:01:14
as a single or booklet format.

00:02:01:26 - 00:02:06:00
And this controls where the spreads
are desired in the exported MEX file,

00:02:06:26 - 00:02:11:14
even if a spread is used in the InDesign
file selecting single.

00:02:11:17 - 00:02:12:29
Under the page type

00:02:14:24 - 00:02:16:07
will provide a

00:02:16:07 - 00:02:18:24
template consisting of individual pages.

00:02:20:13 - 00:02:23:20
If a booklet is desired,
we just change this dropdown to booklet,

00:02:24:00 - 00:02:26:08
then we get some additional options
available.

00:02:26:18 - 00:02:29:00
One of them is to configure
the cover type.

00:02:29:00 - 00:02:33:09
So we have the option which we no cover,
single cover, which is where

00:02:33:09 - 00:02:36:29
the front and rear covers are handled
using a single spread

00:02:37:17 - 00:02:39:29
or split cover.

00:02:40:17 - 00:02:43:06
So this is where the front and rear covers
are handled

00:02:43:06 - 00:02:45:27
by separate pages
at either end of the document.

00:02:47:06 - 00:02:49:19
For some of these selections,
such as Single Cover,

00:02:49:26 - 00:02:53:06
you'll also be prompted to confirm
whether you wish to

00:02:54:02 - 00:02:58:22
have the inside pages of the cover
editable or not editable.

00:02:58:24 - 00:03:02:07
And that's using this checkbox here.

00:03:05:03 - 00:03:07:12
When ready, proceed to the export tab

00:03:09:27 - 00:03:11:02
and then export

00:03:11:02 - 00:03:13:10
the MEX templates as you normally would.

00:03:14:05 - 00:03:17:07
There are some additional validation
checks carried out

00:03:17:14 - 00:03:19:15
when spreads are utilized.

00:03:20:15 - 00:03:23:03
So for example,
I've just clicked start validations here

00:03:23:03 - 00:03:27:01
and you can see in this particular
configuration we've got messages such as

00:03:27:09 - 00:03:31:13
when in booklet mode with a single cover,
all pages must be double spread.

00:03:31:23 - 00:03:35:02
So we'll give you quite a clear indication
of what you might need to modify

00:03:35:08 - 00:03:38:03
on your particular configuration
to utilize

00:03:38:10 - 00:03:40:19
that particular set of options.

00:03:42:00 - 00:03:43:29
There are a group of sample templates

00:03:43:29 - 00:03:48:00
attached to the Infigo Academy
portal entry for this topic.

00:03:48:00 - 00:03:51:28
Should you wish to understand
the different configurations a little

00:03:51:28 - 00:03:53:00
bit better.
