The Primary Text Frame adds a text frame to your Master Page which is useful if the text flows from chapter to chapter like in a book. If you are only going to create a single page document or a document that has different information in different pages such as a brochure, it is better to turn the option off.
The Facing Pages option should only be selected if your document has left and right pages that face each other like in a book. Once, you’ve determined the intent of the document, you need to decide if you need to have facing pages. InDesign gives you a whole range of units to choose from. If you are comfortable with other scales of measurement, you can change them by going to the Edit menu, Preferences and selecting Units and Increments. You can also specify a custom screen size for your device. When you choose Mobile, the Page Size now gives you an option of directly choosing from popular devices and populates the Width and Height fields accordingly by changing the units of measurement to pixels. The Mobile option (sometimes called Digital Publishing in older versions of InDesign), lets you prepare documents as independent apps or eBooks targeting specific device form factors. Of course, the measurement values can be custom set. Selecting the Web option changes the document measurements to pixels and the color space to RGB, which is ideal for on-screen documents. It means documents that are delivered electronically such as PDFs or other on-screen documents. The Web option can be slightly confusing as it doesn’t actually mean a web page. Selecting the Print option changes the measurements to picas and the color space to CMYK. It is not just for printing documents on a printer, but also used for almost all forms of publishing such as a product sheet or template or even a document for uploading to the Web. The Print option is the de facto option that is chosen by most working with InDesign. Expanding the Intent dropdown menu gives us three options – Print, Web and Mobile. The first step is to define the intent of the document.
We see that there are a lot of options in the New Document dialog box. Note, that the preview will disappear when you cancel creating the document. This creates a preview of the document in which it is easy to visualize changes such as page dimensions and other properties before creating the actual document. It pays to have a general understanding of the various options available in the New Document dialog box so let us have a look at each of them.īefore moving on, it helps to turn on the Preview checkbox in the lower left corner of the dialog box. We shall focus on the Document command for now.
There are other options in the New menu, which allows you to create a Book or a Library which we will deal with in later chapters.

You can create a new document by pressing Ctrl+N on Windows or Command+N on the Mac or go to the File menu, select New, and then click on Document. Being able to properly define the document that you intend to create is a fundamental prerequisite to get the best out of InDesign.
