Working with complex tables

- Once again, I'm a big fan of simplifying tables…whenever possible.…That being said, Indesign is one of the better programs…to use when dealing with complex tables…that will end up getting exported to…an accessible PDF file.…Even so, there are a few things to keep in mind…when re-mediating these documents.…Let's take a closer look.…Now I have the complex.imdb file open…and I'm going to go ahead and navigate to Page 17…where we have a table that we're going to include…in our accessible PDF file.…

Now I just want to show you here…this particular file is one big table that was created.…And just for comparison I also have included…a file called Complex Split that essentially shows…the same table visually,…but you'll notice that I divided this up…into individual tables.…And this just makes life a little bit easier…when you're working in Indesign…because it gives you a little bit more flexibility…as far as the headers are concerned,…and so on and so forth.…

So I just wanted to show you that,…we'll go back to our Complex file.…
