HI yeah nice tutorial. What I wanna know is how did you created the textframe? The shaped look, did you used for this more then one Textframe? Would be great if you can explain it.

1New doc. (bleed = 9 pt.)

2Draw full rectangle “border” frame (to bleed.)

3Draw intersecting objects in foreground for "knockout".

4Select intersecting objects/go to Object menu, choose Pathfinder / Add.

5Select combined image and the “border” object. Then, Object / Pathfinder / Subtract.

6You now have a border frame with hole. Select/apply Bevel and Emboss, from Effects panel.

7Apply: Object / Corner Options.

8Create background object, to place behind border.

9Create Master from this page.

Hi guys...

Could you help me please.

I am trying to create a page flip brochure. I made everything as it is described in tutorials, but when comes time for export something goes wrong.

Instead SWF file the exported file appear with Winamp icon. When try to pre-save it as pdf, for e-mail distribution, the Reader says - file is damaged

I use: InDesign CS5 and Adobe Reader 10.1.1 but may be I need some additional software to make this exports properly. What do you think…?

Тhanks in advance
