Hard-proofing your InDesign document
Send your document to a local printer for a hard proof when you have finalized the lay-
out in InDesign. Hard-proofing provides a preview of how the document will print on
the final output device, without permanently converting the color values. For instruc-
tions on hard-proofing an InDesign CS2 document, see "Chapter 6: Advanced Topics."
Sending files and printed proofs to a print provider
For more accurate color in the final output, deliver the printed proof as well as the
electronic files to your printer either as a PDF file or a native InDesign document.
To create a PDF file in which all content is CMYK, you might want to use the PDF/X-1a
standard, which does not include RGB content in PDF documents.
To create a PDF file from InDesign CS2:
1. Choose File>Export.
2. Select Format: Adobe PDF, and then click Save.
You can choose an Adobe PDF preset standard from the Export Adobe PDF dialog box.
