Uwe Laubender. Uwe joined our Adobe family as an Adobe Community Professional on ‎June 2, 2009. Uwe is one of our top contributors in Adobe InDesign community, and has won accolades and appreciation from our community of users for his insightful answers driven by his product expertise.

Let's know more about him in his own words:-
I began my design career as an Illustrator expert in the pre-digital age. Mostly work for semi-professional magazines in the science-fiction field of the late 70ies and the early 80ies of the last century. Ended the University Of Applied Sciences and Arts in Würzburg, Germany with a diploma on "Desktop Publishing" in 1987. My thesis was done with and was about electronic publishing with PageMaker 1 on Windows 1, the application that finally changed all for graphic designers at that time. Did already do some programing work by writing Encapsulated PostScript files for typographic effects. I had to bring my own equipment, because I was the first one who used DTP at the faculty of Communication Design at that time. My thesis professor really had no idea what I was doing, but he trusted me
Nowadays I do work in mainly three fields:
1. Design for magazines and other mostly print related stuff.
2. Workflow automation with InDesign by writing ExtendScript JavaScript.
3. For over ten years now I am lecturing courses on typography, layout and print production on The Hochschule Hannover - University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Faculty III - Media, Information and Design. My current project, not finalized yet, is the "EXPORTER At Home" magazine. You may have a look at my work below:-

Uwe, we thank you for your Great contribution to our Community. Keep rocking !

I'm honored to feature Peter Spier as our community superstar for this month. Peter has been a part of our community for more than 19 years now. Wow!!! In my conversations with Peter, his humility and expertise blew me away. Peter is a long-time Adobe Community Professional (ACP) and has contributed to over 70K posts

. More strength to you, Peter! We couldn't be gladder working with you and learning from your posts.

In Peter's own words:

"I transitioned careers from Jewelry design and cabinet-making to the printing business in the late 1990s, a few years before InDesign version 1 was released and Quark Xpress was the dominant application in my area. I got the bulk of my training as the prepress and art departments in a small job printer and later in a large-format service bureau. I saw (and had to fix) pretty much every kind of mistake that could be made, and made a few of my own. I took a look at ID version 1 when it came out, but didn't really touch the program until one of our print clients asked me to moonlight and help her with a project in version 1.5. The rest, as they say, is history.

There were no classes in InDesign when I started, but somehow I found my way to the Adobe InDesign forums and I was hooked. I read every post on the Windows side (they were separate in the early days) and tried to figure out the solution to every problem posed, paying close attention to hosts Bob Levine and Dave Saunders who really deserve the credit for my expertise. I began answering posts, eventually becoming for a time the number one responder and taking over much of the InDesign Forum hosting duties for about a decade. I switched over to ID for all of my production work at version 2, as I recall, and taught a few classes at Cape Cod Community College. I've retired to the mountains in Western North Carolina and am no longer as active in graphics, but I still do the occasional freelance job and answer posts on the forum".

InDesign Newsletter - December 2021​

Happy New Year everyone! We hope that the holidays were good for all the Adobe Community members.

Thank you, Andrea! In addition, this newsletter features one of our favorite ACPs, Derek Cross. We also have info on trending topics, the latest InDesign update, and more! Keep reading.

I'm honored to feature Derek Cross as our community superstar for this month. Derek has been a part of our community for more than 14 years now. Derek is a long-time Adobe Community Professional (ACP) and has contributed to over 14K posts. We are thankful for your consistent contribution. Keep rocking, Derek!



In Derek's's own words:

Derek Cross


"I started typesetting as an apprentice compositor in London’s Fleet Street in the mid 1950s. At that time, typesetting from moveable type and printing had hardly changed since its invention at the end of the 15th century – we even used an Albion Press for proofing in those days!

Since then, I’ve seen many developments; camera-ready artwork with hot wax, the early attempts at phototypesetting through to today’s highly sophisticated publishing applications like InDesign, where you can produce artwork from your desk ready for your printer or for digital publishing – it’s been quite a journey.

As an apprentice, I was sent to college one day a week to learn about all aspects of printing and graphic design. This six-year period of study provided a solid basis for my subsequent career as a graphic designer. After finishing my apprenticeship, I joined Collins Publishers (now Harper Collins) as a graphic designer, designing and producing book covers and publicity material to promote their best-selling books. I subsequently moved to several other book publishers in various management roles and eventually started my own small imprint. During my time working in book publishing I met many bestselling authors, including, Ted Geisel, who you may know as Dr Seuss!

I returned to the London College of Communication during the late 1990s to undertake a full-time course in digital publishing. I have now retired though, during the UK lockdown in 2020, I worked with four expert authors and put together a book called “Mental Disorders, Mental Illness and the Family Court” (a sexy title, eh!) The book was taken on by Bloomsbury Professional and was published a couple of weeks ago. The publishers did their own production from my manuscript, but I produced a promotional brochure for the title. I created a print version for mailing and exhibitions and a digital version for emailing and social media. The workflow to produce the digital version is, I think, rather interesting and novel, which I describe below.

The brochure pages were created in InDesign and exported as an Interactive PDF. It includes links (the yellow circles) to specimen pages from the book, which were also created in InDesign and uploaded to Publish Online and they have links to return to the brochure or place and order the book. The Interactive PDF was imported into the third-party application PaperTurn and a link to a YouTube interview with the authors. See for yourself:

Mental Disorders, Mental Illness and the Family Court brochure - Presentation - Page 1

I enjoy trying to answer some of the questions on the InDesign and Photoshop forums, but there are a number of gurus on there that know much more about these applications than me, but it keeps me out of trouble during the current lockdowns!

I live in the county of Kent in England (known as the garden of England because it is where most of the fruit orchards and hop gardens are situated). I live in a 250-year-old cottage that was originally a toll cottage. The owner in the late 1880’s hobby was photography and a number of his photographs have survived. So my next job (for fun) is to self-publish an illustrated booklet on the history of turnpikes and the toll system and the growth and decline of the system, rather like the growth and decline from metal hand and machine typesetting!".

In her own words:

" First job: teaching my friends how to roller skate and perform basic tricks. At age eight, I charged them for the lessons, and I charged their parents to attend the recitals to show off what they learned. In my teens and college years, I taught swim lessons. I have completed my education from French and Business College.


First professional job: 4 years of desktop computer sales, starting in 1984, mostly in New York City. Sent to PageMaker training in 1987 as part of our sales training and began selling Windows-Runtime/PageMaker 2.0 desktop publishing solutions. Clear recollection of using a mouse for the first time in that class. Next stop was selling Ventura-based DTP systems. Then, I took on layout jobs for those who couldn’t afford to buy a system for themselves. I couldn’t afford one either so I would go to the office at 2 am and work until just before it was time for my co-workers to arrive (What a dedication

). Then I would leave, grab breakfast and come back to start my normal day. Then I found a job at USDA Graduate School for a desktop publishing instructor who would teach both PageMaker and Ventura. In 1988, I was uniquely qualified for the role, so left New York, moved home to Northern Virginia and began my career as a publishing-focused trainer. For the next 18 years, I divided my time between working as a contract trainer for local training companies and working on layout jobs. I had the pleasure of teaching alongside other ACPs for many of those years, including Jane Edwards, Mike Witherell and David Mankin.I am also a PSIA-certified ski instructor. I have taught part-time in the very icy mountains of Pennsylvania.



Later on, I have moved the family to the mountain town of Evergreen, Colorado in 2005 to escape the chaos of Northern Virginia. I have opened Rocky Mountain Training in early 2007 as a collaboration with two of my old friends from our contract-training days, and we have been delivering public online training classes since we opened our (virtual) doors. I continued to teach skiing part-time at Winter Park for another ten years but now I just ski for fun. We picked up ski touring as a way to continue to ski while avoiding crowded chair lifts and lift lines during lockdown.

After so many years of answering student questions and solving student issues in class, volunteering on the community forums is a natural fit for me. At this stage of my life, I love having the opportunity to give back. I find it relaxing to sit and answer questions and ponder creative solutions. But in class, on the slopes or on the forums, nothing makes me happier than someone saying “Thank you, that’s just what I needed!”. That’s the feeling that drove me to start teaching my friends at age eight, and has kept me on this track for the last 50+ years. There’s nothing else like that for me. And in retrospect, I suppose this is to be expected. Out of a family of six, our mother was the only one who chose not to teach. My father, one sister and my brother were all college professors, and my sister Jane-e has worked as a computer trainer for as long as I have".
