#MASTER PDF EDITOR TUTORIAL SOFTWARE#

The Master page above the A-Master in the Pages panel is, in fact, not really a Master. The A-Master is automatically applied to all the pages in your new document, which means that anything you put onto the A-Master will show up on all pages of your document. One of these Masters is called, by default, the ‘A-Master’, and depending on whether you’ve set the document up with single pages or facing spreads, will be made up of one or two pages.

When you create a new document in InDesign, the software automatically creates two new Master pages for the document, which are visible at the top of the Pages panel (Window > Pages).

You can also add different Masters for index pages and contents pages, which may require different page numbering systems or headers. You might have one Master page for the opening page of a chapter, and another Master for the pages that sit within the chapter. A good example for when it would be appropriate to use multiple Master pages is when you’re designing a book that’s split into chapters. You can also create multiple Master pages, each with different design elements.

Masters are indispensable when creating multi-page documents like magazines, books, reports and brochures, allowing you to add design elements across a number of specified pages, creating a sense of consistency and professionalism in your document. You can edit the Master, and add elements to it that you want to appear across multiple pages, such as page numbers, running headers and borders.
