Working with documents
Rasterize Pages This option converts all InDesign page items to bitmap. Selecting this option results in a larger
XFL file, and page items become jagged when zoomed in on.
Flatten Transparency Selecting this option flattens all objects with transparency. Flattened objects may be difficult
to animate in Adobe Flash Pro.
Text Specify how InDesign text is output. Choose InDesign Text To Flash Text to output searchable text that results
in the smallest file size. Choose InDesign Text To Vector Paths to output the text as a series of smooth straight lines,
like converting text to outlines. Choose InDesign Text To Raster Image to output the text in a bitmap image.
Rasterized text may appear jagged when zoomed in on.
6 Open and edit the exported XFL file in Adobe Flash Pro.

Use the web color swatch library
InDesign includes a color swatch library called Web, which consists of the colors most web browsers use to display text
and graphics in web pages. The 216 colors in the library, often called web-safe colors, are consistent across platforms,
because they are a subset of the colors that browsers use in both Windows and Mac
OS. The web-safe colors in
InDesign are the same as those in the Adobe Photoshop web-safe color palette and the Adobe Illustrator browser-safe
color palette.
Each color in the library is named by its RGB values. Each color’s hexadecimal code, which HTML uses to define the
color, is stored within the color swatch.
1 Choose New Color Swatch in the Swatches panel menu.
2 For Color Mode, choose Web.
3 Select the web-safe color, and then click OK.
