print pages 1 through 7 and 9. See Specifying pages to print.
Opens the newly-created PDF file in the default PDF viewing application.
Embeds a thumbnail preview for each page in the PDF, increasing the file size. Deselect this setting when users of
Acrobat 5.0 and later will view and print the PDF; these versions generate thumbnails dynamically each time you click the Pages panel of a PDF.
Saves each InDesign layer as an Acrobat layer within the PDF. The layers are fully navigable, which allows users of
Acrobat 6.0 and later to generate multiple versions of the file from a single PDF.
During export, automatically tags elements in the story based on a subset of the Acrobat tags that InDesign supports. This
includes recognition of paragraphs, basic text formatting, lists, and tables. (You can also insert and adjust tags in the document before exporting to
PDF. See Adding structure to PDFs.)
During export, uses the Tab Order specified using Object > Interactive > Set Tab Order. This option is only
available for tagged PDFs.
Initial view settings of the PDF when it’s opened.
Initial layout of the PDF when it’s opened.
Select Opens In Full Screen Mode to display the PDF in Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader without menus or panels displayed. To
advance the pages automatically, select Flip Pages Every and specify the number of seconds between page turns.
Specify one page transition to apply to all pages during export. If you use the Page Transitions panel to specify transitions,
choose the From Document option to use those settings.
Select Include All to allow movies, sounds, and buttons to be interactive in the exported PDF file. Select Appearance Only to
include the normal state of buttons and the video posters as static elements.
Choose JPEG (Lossy) to remove image data and possibly reduce image quality. However, file size is reduced with a minimal loss
of information. Choose JPEG 2000 (Lossless) to export the file without lossy compression. Choose Automatic to let InDesign determine the best
quality for color and grayscale images.
Specifies the amount of detail in the exported image. The higher the quality, the larger the file size. This option is dimmed if you
choose JPEG 2000 (Lossless) for Compression.
Specify the resolution of bitmap images in the exported PDF. Choosing a high resolution is especially important to allow viewers to
zoom in on pixel-based content within your exported PDF. Choosing a high resolution can significantly increase the file size.
Creating PDF forms (CS5.5 and CS5)
Although InDesign does not provide tools for adding form fields, Adobe Acrobat does. You can create a form in InDesign that includes
placeholders for fields such as radio buttons, check boxes, and text fields. Then you can export to PDF, and use Acrobat to convert the
placeholders into form fields.
1. In InDesign, create the document you want to use for the form. Use tables and text boxes to create the placeholders for the fields.
You can also add interactive buttons in InDesign.
2. Export the document to Adobe PDF.
