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:
Export the currently selected object.
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.
Export all pages in the documents.
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.
6. 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.
Baseline displays a JPEG image after it has been downloaded completely.
8. Select or type the resolution for the exported JPEG image.
