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.
Printing booklets
Impose a document for booklet printing
The Print Booklet feature lets you create printer spreads for professional printing. For example, if you’re editing an 8-
page booklet, the pages appear in sequential order in the layout window. However, in printer spreads, page 2 is
positioned next to page 7, so that when the two pages are printed on the same sheet, folded, and collated, the pages end
up in the appropriate order.
Pages appear in sequence in the layout window, but are printed in a different order so that they appear correct when folded and bound.
The process of creating printer spreads from layout spreads is called imposition. While imposing pages, you can change
settings to adjust spacing between pages, margins, bleed, and creep. The layout of your InDesign document is not
affected, because the imposition is all handled in the print stream. No pages are shuffled or rotated in the document.
Note: You cannot create a new document based on the imposed pages. In addition, if your document includes multiple
page sizes, you cannot use Print Booklet to impose a document.
