CMYK
Creates a separable file by representing all color values using the gamut of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black
process color inks.
Gray
Converts all color values to high-quality black-and-white images. The gray levels (shades) of the converted
objects represent the luminosity of the original objects.
RGB
Represents all color values using the red, green, and blue color space. An EPS file with RGB color definitions is
better suited for on-screen viewing.
PostScript®Color Management
Uses the document’s color data in a calibrated version of its original color space.
Preview
Determines the characteristics of the preview image that is saved in the file. The preview image is displayed in
applications that cannot display EPS artwork directly. If you don’t want to create a preview image, choose None in the
format menu.
Embed Fonts
Specifies how to include fonts used in the pages you export.
None
Includes a reference to the font in the PostScript file that tells the RIP or a post-processor where the font should
be included.
Complete
Downloads all fonts required for the document at the beginning of the print job. All glyphs and characters
in a font are downloaded even if they don’t appear in the document. InDesign automatically subsets fonts that contain
more than the maximum number of glyphs (characters) specified in the Preferences dialog box.
Subset
Downloads only the characters (glyphs) used in the document.
Data Format
Specifies how InDesign sends the image data from your computer to a printer: as ASCII or Binary data.
Images
Specifies how much image data in placed bitmap images to include in the exported file.
All
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.
Proxy
Includes only screen-resolution versions (72 dpi) of placed bitmap images in the exported file. Choose this
option in conjunction with the OPI Image Replacement option, or if the resulting PDF file will be viewed on-screen.
OPI Image Replacement
Enables InDesign to replace low-resolution EPS proxies of graphics with high-resolution
graphics at output time.
Omit For OPI
Selectively omits imported graphics when sending image data to a printer or file, leaving only the OPI
links (comments) for later handling by an OPI server.
Transparency Flattener
Select a flattener preset in the Preset menu to specify how transparent objects appear in the
exported file. This option is the same as the Transparency Flattener option that appears in the Advanced area of the
Print dialog box.
Ink Manager
Corrects any ink options without changing the design of the document.
