Design Mobile App Design for iOS Working with a Developer Final Documents for Onward Developers

Sarah's PDF when sharing artwork with developers.

Sarah's lesson on Final Documents for Onward Developers is really enlightening, but I had a question. What would be the best method for creating these PDF documents?

Should I create the images (that show pixel spacing and such), in something like Sketch and Photoshop, then drop them into a document editor like Pages or Word?

The reason I ask is because let's say there is a small change or revision necessary in the final minutes of the project. Would these methods make sense to use?

I used to create them in Fireworks, but I now have a template set up in InDesign. For the pixel values, I create those in Sketch and just have the file auto-update from InDesign.

Hope that helps!

Sarah, that's awesome. The only question I have is, how do you have the values auto-update?
