CHAPTER 2

Making the Switch from PageMaker to InDesign

•

More extensive support for outputting Adobe

PDF ﬁles for high-end printing

InDesign CS is integrated into a wide variety of

print workﬂows and produces precise, predictable

printed results.

Finding a print service provider

If you’re looking for a print service provider who

accepts InDesign ﬁles in your area, you can locate

one using the Adobe Partner Finder on the Adobe

Web site. Adobe Solutions Network (ASN)

member print service providers can deliver high-

quality output of even the most challenging ﬁles.

Referring your print service provider to

the Adobe Solutions Network

If you’d like to refer your local print service

provider to the Adobe Solutions Network (ASN),

ask them to registration online on the Adobe Web

site.

The ASN Basic Program is a free Adobe service for

print service providers and includes many

resources. Adobe encourages all printer/prepress

companies to join the ASN Basic Program to

ensure that they keep up to date about new

resources, training, support, software upgrades

and updates, and other member beneﬁts.

Exporting to PDF, XML, and

the Web

Both PageMaker and InDesign let you export PDF

ﬁles. In addition, InDesign can export documents

in XML, SVG, and JPEG formats, and as a

collection of ﬁles formatted for reuse on the Web.

You can add hyperlinks to documents in InDesign,

as well as other interactive elements, such as

movies, sound ﬁles, and buttons.

For more information about interactivity, see

InDesign Help.

Creating Adobe PDF ﬁles

Both PageMaker and InDesign let you export

documents in PDF.

In addition to PDF, InDesign

supports PDF/X (Portable Document Format

Exchange), a new format that facilitates document

exchange with prepress service providers and

other graphic arts professionals.

InDesign includes deﬁned PDF Presets with

settings optimized for different output formats,

including commercial printing and the Web. You

can create your own PDF presets to save a

collection of PDF export settings you use

frequently or want to share with others in your

workgroup. You can also export InDesign layers as

PDF 1.5 layers.

For more information about exporting a

document or book to Adobe PDF, PDF/X, or

predeﬁned PDF presets, see InDesign Help.
