Exporting options
You cannot export individual graphics from InDesign, but you can export one or more
entire document pages to various formats, including Adobe Portable Document Format
(PDF), Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), Hyptertext Markup Language (HTML), Scalable
Vector Graphics (SVG), and PostScript
PostScript File, see the index.

Setting common export options
When you export to Adobe PDF, EPS, HTML, SVG or PostScript
following options:
Data Format Specifies how InDesign sends the image data from your computer to a
printer. ASCII exports as ASCII text, which is compatible with older networks and parallel
printers and is usually the best choice for graphics used on multiple platforms. Binary
exports as binary code, which is more compact than ASCII but may not be compatible
with all systems. Binary is usually the best choice for documents used only on Mac OS
systems.
PostScript Specifies a level of compatibility with the interpreters in PostScript output
®
devices. Level 2 will often improve the printing speed and output quality of graphics
printed only on a PostScript Level 2 or greater output device. Level 3 provides the best
speed and output quality, but requires a PostScript 3 device.
Note: InDesign automatically selects the PostScript level of your output device.
Embed Fonts Specifies how to include fonts used in the pages you export.
None includes a reference to the font in the PostScript file which tells the RIP or a post-
•
processor where the font should be included. This option is appropriate if the fonts
reside in the printer. TrueType fonts are named according to the PostScript name in the
font; however, not all applications can interpret these names. To ensure that TrueType
fonts are interpreted correctly, use one of the other font downloading options.
Complete downloads all fonts required for the document at the beginning of the print
•
job. This option typically results in faster and smaller PostScript files when used with
multipage documents. Complete is the InDesign default.
Subset downloads only the characters (glyphs) used in the document. Glyphs are
•
downloaded once per page. This option typically results in faster and smaller PostScript
files when used with single-page documents, or short documents without much text.
Note: Some font manufacturers restrict the embedding of font files. Restrictions apply to
copying font software. You are required to comply with applicable copyright law and the
terms of your license agreement. For font software licensed from Adobe, your license
agreement provides that you may take a copy of the font(s) you have used for a particular
file to a commercial printer or other service provider, and the service provider may use the
font(s) to process your file, provided the service provider has informed you that it has the
right to use that particular software. For other font software, please obtain permission
from your vendor.
Color Specifies how color is represented in the exported file. For example, if your
document includes a mix of RGB and CMYK images and you choose CMYK in the Color
menu, then the objects using RGB color values will convert to CMYK one of two ways:
using color setting defaults or the InDesign internal RGB to CMYK conversion.
