Export to JPEG format
JPEG uses a standardized image compression mechanism to compress full-color or grayscale images for onscreen
display. Use the Export command to export a page, spread, or selected object in JPEG format.
1
If desired, select an object to export. (You do not need to select anything to export a page or spread.)
2
Choose File > Export.
3
Specify a location and a filename.
4
For Save As Type (Windows) or Format (Mac OS), choose JPEG, and click Save.
The Export JPEG dialog box appears.
5
In the Export section, do one of the following:
Selection
Export the currently selected object.
Range
Enter the number of the page or pages you want to export. Separate numbers in a range by using a hyphen,
and separate multiple pages or ranges by using commas.
Select All
Export all pages in the documents.
Spreads
Export facing pages in a spread to a single JPEG file. Deselect this option to export each page in a spread
as a separate JPEG file.

For Quality, choose from a range of options that determine the trade-off between file compression (smaller file size)
and image quality:
• Maximum includes all available high-resolution image data in the exported file and requires the most disk space.
Choose this option if the file will be printed on a high-resolution output device.
• Low includes only screen-resolution versions (72 dpi) of placed bitmap images in the exported file. Choose this
option if the file will be displayed onscreen only.
• Medium and High include more image data than Low, but use varying levels of compression to reduce file size.
7
For Format Method, choose one of the following options:
• Progressive displays a JPEG image in increasing detail as it is downloaded to a web browser.
