I need to format a file for window signage. The windows come in various sizes, and the window frames also vary in dimensions. The sticker should only be applied to the windows and extend across multiple windows. How do I create a file with spreads of different sizes and margins?

  1. Create a document with non-fcing pages.
  2. With the page tool and the open control panel select pages and enter the dimensin for each page.
  3. Move the pages into one single spread. In the page panel menu don't allow to shuffle pages.
  4. Move the pages to a distance to each other so that it representsts the windows front.

You would use the Page Tool to create the different sized pages that you need. There are several videos on You Tube showing its use. One that I found that seems to be showing the basic use so that you can do what you're looking for can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2Tq6osPrIQ. The basic operation of the tool can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VorrWeBSfv8. Also try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5GBE7hfGY0
