Setting preferences
About preferences and defaults
Preferences include settings such as panel positions, measurement options, and display options for graphics and
typography. Preference settings specify how InDesign documents and objects behave initially.
Numerous program preferences and default settings are stored in the Adobe InDesign preferences files. These files,
including the InDesign Defaults file, are saved each time you exit from InDesign. The settings files are located here:
Windows XP Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\[Version]\[language]
Windows Vista Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\[version]\[language]
Mac OS [username]/Library/Preferences/Adobe/InDesign/[version]/[language]
Note: InDesign preference settings are fully scriptable. To share a consistent set of preferences across user groups, develop
a script to set the preferences, and then have all users in the group run the script on their computers. Don’t copy and paste
one user’s preferences files onto another computer, as doing so might cause application instability. For more information
about scripting, see the Scripting Guide on the InDesign CS4 DVD.
Set general preferences
This section covers preference settings in the General tab of the Preferences dialog box. For information on other
preferences, search for the appropriate setting.
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows) or InDesign > Preferences > General (Mac OS), and then choose
the type of preferences you want to specify.
2 In the Page Numbering section, choose a page numbering method from the View menu. (See “ Display absolute or
section numbering in the Pages panel ” on page 88.)
3 In the Font Downloading and Embedding section, specify a threshold to trigger font subsetting based on the
number of glyphs a font contains. This setting affects font downloading options in the Print and Export dialog
boxes.
