Printing thumbnails
To fit multiple pages on a single page, you can create thumbnails—small preview versions
of your document. Thumbnails are useful for verifying content and organization. Where
appropriate, InDesign automatically changes the paper orientation to provide the best fit
of the page to the paper; however, you'll need to reset the original orientation if you
deselect the Thumbnails option.
Note: Printing thumbnails disables all printer's marks and bleeds.
To print thumbnails:
1 In the Setup panel of the Print dialog box, select Thumbnails.
2 In the menu, choose the number of thumbnails per page.
Choosing a composite color mode
In the Output panel of the Print dialog box, you can determine how composite color in the
document is sent to the printer. Composite modes only affect rasterized images and
objects created using InDesign; placed graphics (such as EPS and Adobe PDF files) are not
affected unless they overlap transparent objects. For details, see the document "Achieving
Reliable Print Output with Transparency" on the Adobe Web site.
Note: The options available for non-PostScript printing depend on the color model the
printer uses, which is usually RGB.
Choose from the following options:
Composite Gray Sends grayscale versions of specified pages to the printer when, for
example, you are printing to a monochrome printer without making separations. When
this option is selected, the trapping option is disabled.
Composite RGB Sends a full-color version of specified pages to the printer when, for
example, you are printing to an RGB color printer without making separations. When this
option is selected, trapping is disabled.
Composite CMYK Sends a full-color version of specified pages to the printer when,
for example, you are printing to a CMYK color printer without making separations. When
this option is selected, trapping is disabled. (This option is available only for PostScript
printers.)
Note: For information on separation color modes, see
page 414.
Text as Black Prints all text created in InDesign in black unless it has the color None or
Paper, or a color value that equals white. Selecting this option is useful when you're
creating content for both print and PDF distribution. For example, if hyperlinks were blue
in the PDF version, they would print black on a grayscale printer, rather than in halftone
patterns, which would be difficult to read.
