Edit print presets
❖ Do one of the following:
• Choose File > Print, adjust print settings, and click Save Preset. In the Save Preset dialog box that appears, either
type a name in the text box or use the current name. (If the current name is an existing preset, saving overwrites
that preset’s settings.) Click OK.
• Choose Edit > Print Presets (Illustrator) or File > Print Presets > Define (InDesign), select a preset from the list,
and then click Edit. Adjust print settings, and click OK to return to the Print Presets dialog box. Then click OK
again.
You can edit the default preset as you would any other using the steps outlined above.
Delete print presets
1 Choose Edit > Print Presets (Illustrator) or File > Print Presets > Define (InDesign).
2 Select one or more presets from the list and click Delete. Shift-click to select adjacent presets. Ctrl-click
(Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) to select nonadjacent presets.
Export or import print presets
You can save print presets in separate files, making it easy to back them up or to make them available to your service
providers, clients, or others in your workgroup.
1 Choose Edit > Print Presets (Illustrator) or File > Print Presets > Define (InDesign).
2 Do one of the following:
• To export presets, select one or more presets in the list and click Export (Illustrator) or Save (InDesign). Shift-click
to select adjacent presets. Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) to select nonadjacent presets.
Specify a name and location, and then click Save.
• To import presets, click Import (Illustrator) or Load (InDesign). Locate and click the file containing the presets
you want to load, and then click OK.
Consider saving presets outside of the preferences folder. That way, they won’t be lost if you ever delete your prefer-
ences.
Note: Printer styles created in previous versions of InDesign can be loaded into Adobe® InDesign® CS3 and saved as
printer presets.
View a summary of print settings/presets
Use the Summary panel of the Print dialog box to view your output settings prior to printing, and then adjust them
as necessary. For example, you can see if the document will omit certain graphics for OPI replacement by the service
provider.
1 Choose File > Print.
2 In the Print dialog box, click Summary.
3 If you want to save the summary as a text file, click Save Summary.
4 Accept the default filename or type another name for the text file, and click Save.
