Now that we've created our masterpiece, we're ready to export it out to PDF. PDF is very useful for printing, whether it's low resolution or high resolution, or for sending proofs via email. Let's take a look at some of the options. We'll go to file, export, and we have the file name down here. We're going to accept this file name and save as type, Adobe PDF. There are some other options here, which we're not going to get into. You can save it as EPS, InDesign Interchange. If you want to save it for use with an older version of InDesign, that's what you choose there. We'll hit save and here's where we're going to look at the Adobe PDF presets. There are a number of presets built in and those are the ones with the brackets around it. Some of these are for high resolution printing, but I would not recommend using them without speaking to the commercial printer who is going to print it. They may have their own settings or special requests that they want for their press, so they may base it on this, but they may want some overrides. We're interested in putting it out by email at the moment here, so let's choose smallest file size. That compresses the graphics to get them down. Let's take a look at compression. Here you can see that it's downsizing color images to 100 pixels per inch for images above 150, but we can change that to 100 and that will force every image to be brought down to 100 pixels per inch. You've got the settings here for gray scale and monochrome images. You can change those too. We don't have any of those in the document, so I'm not too worried about it. We can make this even smaller. Let's change this to 72, really make the file small, although it may look a little bit pixelated on the screen. If we use this a lot, we could save it. Save preset and I'll call it Really Low Res. Click on okay. Notice that's the name. I can come in and choose it any time I want it and then we can just export it. It generates the PDF file, takes a couple of seconds here, and when it's done, I can just move over to Bridge here, like this, look for the PDF file. There it is down there. Double click on it. It'll open Acrobat and we can go to full page view here and there we can see it like that. It's done. Let me just close this out and move back to InDesign and we'll take a look at one more option and that's exporting it for Adobe Dreamweaver. We'll pull down the file menu and we'll just go to cross media export and choose X HTML Dreamweaver. That prompts us for the file. We'll just ball it B and B Draft. It's saved like that and there are some options here where you can optimize the images and no CSS. There's no CSS in it anyway at the moment, so we'll just accept the defaults. Choose export, like that, and then if I go back to Bridge, you can see that this has been created like this, but it's also created another folder called B and B Draft web images, here. There it's created all the images that are in this file, but it's optimized them for the Web and it's renamed them. It's not going to create a webpage the way you think it's going to create a webpage. It's just going to give you your images. If I bring this over to Dreamweaver here, drop it in, it's not going to lookÉif we go to the design mode here, you're going to see all the images here and the text that I have put in it, but you're really actually going to have to go in and edit the code to get it the way you want it. So it doesn't create perfect web pages. Sometimes people expect that and they're severely disappointed, but that's some of the ways you can export through InDesign and there's plenty more ways and we do cover those in the full tutorial.
