Export pages in EPS format

Use the Export command to export InDesign pages in EPS format, which you can import into another program. If you
export multiple pages, each page is exported as a separate file with a number appended to the end of the filename. For
example, if you export pages 3, 6, and 12, and specify the filename News.eps, InDesign will create three files named
News_3.eps, News_6.eps, and News_12.eps.

If you want to open InDesign pages in Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop, export pages as PDF or EPS files.

1 Choose File

> Export.

2 Specify a location and a filename. Be sure to include the EPS extension.

3 For Save As Type (Windows) or Format (Mac

OS), choose EPS, and click Save.

4 Under Pages in the Export EPS dialog box, do one of the following:

Select All Pages to export all pages in the document.

Select Ranges and type a page range. You can type a range using a hyphen, and separate pages or ranges using
commas.

Select Spreads to export facing pages as a single EPS file (one spread per EPS).

5 Set additional options.

6 Under Bleed, type a value between 0p0 and 36p0 to specify extra space for graphics that are positioned beyond the

edge of the page or trim area.
