Some friends of mine have created a new training company devoted to helping people become more proficient with Adobe's Creative Suite. They offer live trainings via Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro, with knowledgable trainers and super content. They also offer customized trainings for companies that are looking for something special.

I have two classes there now, with more to come. One is on Creative Editorial Workflows with InDesign and InCopy, which you can register for here. The other one is about Long Document Publishing Workflows with InDesign, which you can register for here.

Tonight, Working Words was named the Business of the Year by the Friends of the Baxter Memorial Library here in Gorham, Maine. Often times, printers labor in anonymity, and if they are recognized, it is by peers and not by their community. I am humbled that our work does in fact get noticed and that our efforts, which are often invisible, are appreciated.
My second Total Training series is now available: Total Training for InDesign CS4 Essentials

It is longer than Acrobat, and should help a lot of new users get started with InDesign.
Man, what a week. It started off with my wife and kids getting t-boned in an intersection at home. View some photos of the carnage. I was in Baltimore, speaking at the PSDA Print Conference, the day before Graph.

Day one of Graph, I spoke on Illustrator CS4, 3D Design and Visualization with Illustrator and Esko Studio, and Variable Data Solutions. That night, I went to the Xerox PIXI awards to accept an honorable mention for our communiPix product, which beat out tons of much larger companies with much more expensive equipment. Score one for the little guys!

Day Two was pretty uneventful, with me picking up the PDF Print Engine talk in the afternoon.

Day three, I was sick as a dog, but did the talks anyway.

Day 4, I got a chance to take a brief tour of the show. Man, there are a lot of nifty new things out there, from bindery to finishing to printing. It makes me wish I had a ton of money so I could finance a whole new shop, but with credit and business capital the way it is, that's not likely to happen. We'll just have to make ComuniPix a hot item in 2009!
It's now official: I passed the Acrobat 9 ACE exam.
After much anticipation, my Total Training for Acrobat 9 Pro Essentials title is now on the Total Training Web Site.
