Convert PDF presets from InDesign CS
InDesign CS and earlier export PDF presets with .pdfs extensions, while InDesign CS2 and later export PDF presets with .joboptions extensions.
Importing a PDFS file converts it to a .joboptions file, and overrides settings as necessary. For example, if Monitor RGB was selected as the
destination profile in the Output area in InDesign CS, it is automatically changed to Document RGB in InDesign CS4.
1. Choose File > Adobe PDF Presets > Define.
2. Click Load.
3. Choose Previous-version PDF Settings Files (.pdfs) from the Files Of Type menu (Windows) or All Files from the Enable menu (Macintosh).
4. Double-click the file you want to convert.
The file becomes selected in the list of Adobe PDF presets.
Background Tasks panel
With the ability to export PDF files in the background, you can continue working on your document instead of waiting until InDesign is done
exporting. You can also queue up multiple PDF exports in the background. Use the Background Tasks panel to view the progress of the export
processes.
1. Export one or more documents to Adobe PDF.
2. To view the progress, choose Window > Utilities > Background Tasks.
