Format Method

Applies a stylesheet to define the transformation of the exported XML to, for example, a modified XML tree or HTML. Select

Browse (Windows) or Choose (Mac OS) to select an XSLT from the file system. The default setting, Use Stylesheet From XML, uses an
XSLT transformation instruction if one is referenced in the XML that is applied on export.

6. Choose an encoding type from the Encoding menu.

7. To specify export options for images, click the Images tab, and then select one or more of the following:

Places a copy of the original image files in an Images subfolder.

Optimizes and compresses the original image files and places copies of the files in an Images sub-folder.

Optimizes the original image files that contain applied transformation (such as rotation or scaling) and

places them in an Images sub-folder. For example, if the document contains two images, one cropped and one not, only the cropped image
is optimized and copied to the Images sub-folder.

8. If you selected Optimized Original Images or Optimized Formatted Images in the previous step, choose options for the optimizing the

images.

9. Click Export.

Not all special characters are supported in XML (such as the Automatic Page Number character). InDesign warns you if it cannot include a

character in the exported XML file. This warning also appears if you didn’t tag a table.

Optimized image export options

The following options are available when you choose Optimized Original Images or Optimized Formatted Images in the Images tab of the Export
XML dialog box.

Specifies which file format to use for the converted image. If you choose Automatic, InDesign chooses the best file type

based on the image. Hence, you may want to specify both GIF Options and JPEG Options.

Specify the formatting for images that are converted to GIF format when exported to XML. You can set the following options:

Specifies the color palette you want the image to conform to when converted. Choose the palette for the final display format of the

XML content. Adaptive (no dither) works well for images with primarily solid colors and can be used when the final output will be to multiple
formats.

Downloads every other line of the image with each pass, instead of downloading the entire image in one pass. Interlacing

enables a preview of the image to download quickly, as each successive pass adds resolution until the final quality is met.

Specify the formatting for images that are converted to JPEG format when exported to XML. You can set the following options:

Specifies the quality of the converted image. The higher the quality setting, the larger the file size and the longer it takes to

download.

Specifies how the JPEG image is formatted for download. Baseline downloads the final quality image in one pass, so that

the file displays at its final quality as soon as it opens; this format may take longer to download than a Progressive formatted image.
Progressive downloads the image in a series of passes, with the first pass a low-resolution version and each successive pass adding
resolution to the image until the final quality is attained.
