Probably the dialog that you're most interested in is the Compression. Here it's going to downsize your images and this will help create a small file size. This says Smallest File Size, but let me tell you. If you put this down to 50 PPI, then it'll definitely be smaller than 100 PPI. And 100, 150 PPI is absolutely fine for most PDF purposes for proofing. So you can go with this. You've got the option of setting it for color images, grayscale images or monochrome images. And here you can set the different type of compression it's using, automatic JPEGs, normally fine for this and you can choose a higher or lower image quality. This is a JPEG Compression. It'll still be a hundred PPI no matter what you choose here but it just makes the compression a little bit less and it'll make the file bigger if you go with High rather than Low. So we'll just set up for color images. We don't have any grayscale or monochrome images here. Text doesn't count as a monochrome image. Text is text and will always look good so you don't need to worry about resolution for that. So that's the basics and that's really probably all we're going to use. Let me just up the resolution to 150 here. So we get slightly better quality here. And for images above 150, what this means is if the image is 150, it's going to keep it at 150 or in this case here, if the image is 225 Pixels Per Inch, it's going to reduce it but if it's below, if it's for example 200 Pixels Per Inch, it's not going to sub-sample it to 150. I normally just keep these exactly the same because that's the resolution that I want. When we get to Marks and Bleeds, Output, et cetera, these are things to do with Advanced Printing, to do with getting your document to press and we'll look at it a little bit further in the Advanced tutorial. So this is just a basic file. Notice the small file size. It's modified. That's because I changed the compression here so I'll just save the Preset and I'll call it VTC 150ppi, Pixels Per Inch and that way I want the size, I've got that every time and I could export it. Now, having said that, there's a little issue here with this version of InDesign CS5, which has not been resolved by Adobe yet and sometimes it just crashes when you send it out to Export and I know mine's going to do that so I'm going to cancel it. I had a little workaround that I was able to fix it and hopefully by the time you use this, you're not going to see this problem. And it doesn't happen to everybody but I've been on the Adobe forums and there's a number of people who are experiencing the problem and I, unfortunately, am one of them. So here's the PDF that I was able to create and here you can see we've got the cover, the inside pages like that and there's the last page in this menu. So we can take this PDF file, we can send it out to print on our Inkjet printer. It's not good enough for commercial printing or we can send a proof out to the client via e-mail and it's a great way of viewing documents and as I said before, it somehow looks different than it does in InDesign and just spot so many different little things that need to be changed before you send it off to your client.
