How to do it

  1. Set up the document: page size, margins and columns, bleed and slug, and facing pages for spreads.
  2. Build master pages and apply them to pages; add page numbers with Insert Current Page Number.
  3. Thread text frames, place long text, and set it with paragraph and character styles, drop caps, hyphenation and a baseline grid.
  4. Place images into frames and wrap text around them.
  5. Export a PDF with bleed, crop marks and embedded fonts, or PNG and JPEG pages.

Not there yet: tables, tab stops, footnotes, spot colours, gradients and opening InDesign or IDML files.

Your files stay on this device: Slop Press runs in your browser, with no upload, no account and no watermark.

Questions

Is Slop Press free?

Yes. There is no plan, no account and no watermark on the PDF.

Can it open .indd or .idml files?

No. It opens its own .slpress files, and can place pictures, text, fonts and PDF pages (as images).

Is Slop Press made by Adobe?

Slopographic is not affiliated with Adobe. InDesign is a trademark of its owner, and the name is used here only to say what this app can stand in for.
