Exporting a document or book to Adobe PDF
Exporting a document or book to Adobe PDF is as simple as using the default [Press]
settings, or as customized as you need it to be to suit your task. The Adobe PDF export
settings you specify are saved with the application, and will apply to every new InDesign
document or book you export to Adobe PDF until you change them again. To quickly
apply custom settings to Adobe PDF files, you can use styles.
You can export a document, a book, or selected documents in a book as a single Adobe
PDF file. You can also copy content from your InDesign layout to the Clipboard, and
automatically create an Adobe PDF file of that content. This is useful for pasting a PDF file
into another application, such as Adobe Illustrator.
To export an open document to Adobe PDF:
1 Choose File > Export.
2 For Save as Type (Windows) or Formats (Mac OS), choose Adobe PDF. Type a filename,
choose a location for the file, and click Save.
3 To view or change existing settings, click the panel names on the left side of the Export
PDF page.
4 Click Export.
To export a book to Adobe PDF:
Depending on whether or not documents are selected in the Book palette, choose Export
Book to PDF or Export Selected Documents to PDF in the Book palette menu.
To export selected documents in a book:
1 Select a document or documents in the Book palette.
2 Choose Export Selected Documents to PDF in the palette menu.
To export an Adobe PDF file using a PDF export style:
1 Choose File > Export.
2 Specify a location and name for the file, choose Adobe PDF in the Formats menu, and
then click Save (Windows) or Export (Mac OS).
