导出pdf文件
Sending documents cross-platform is increasingly common these days, MAC to PC for example, exporting your document as a Postscript file (.ps), and then creating a PDF through Acrobat Distiller is the most comprehensive way. In order to make PDF文件 print correctly the Distiller job options must be properly configured. Attention must be paid to the inclusion of fonts and high resolution selection of 图形.
Helpful Hint: Always preview an exported PDF before sending.
Note: Once your preset is created, it can be used in either Adobe InDesign or Illustrator.
How to: Export pdf文档 with Adobe Indesign
InDesign has the ability to generate a print-ready PDF without the need of Acrobat Distiller. PDF文件, if prepared correctly, can help streamline the printing process because they have the ability to contain all aspects of a file such as fonts, 图形, 和图片.
At newbb电子平台 打印服务, we use Adobe’s PDF Print Engine which allows PDF文件 to be ripped/rendered without the need for transparency flattening. This, in combination with a properly constructed PDF file, yields a more efficient workflow.
InDesign PDF Presets
An InDesign PDF preset is a group of settings that affect the process of creating a PDF. Once created, the preset will be available for all future files created. Use of a preset will eliminate the need to configure individual settings each time you need to make a PDF.
Creating a PDF Preset
- Pull down the File menu and choose Adobe PDF Presets > Define.
- From the available default presets, click [Press Quality], then click New...
- 输入一个名称“Marks” & 出血” for the preset and match all settings as follows:

Any element that extends to the final trim edges needs to extended at least .125” (1/8”). Do not include the bleed when setting up your document size. Bleed should extended past the edge of the document. Always create you document to final trim size (100%) Most printers use software to impose your files into press ready layouts. This software depends on your documents to be created to final trim size. If your final size is 4x6 make your document (Page Setup) 4x6. Do not build your file in the middle of a 8 1/2 x 11.- 标志: Check "Crop Marks," "Bleed Marks," and "Page Information"; leave the rest unchecked. Type: Default, Weight: .25pt，偏移量:0.0833 in
