Quark to InDesignCS3 Conversion Guide - InDesign User Group

exporting a document as PDF,
choose No Color Conversion from
the Color Conversion menu in the
Output pane during export. To leave
color unchanged when exporting a
document as EPS, choose Leave
Unchanged from the Color menu
in the General pane during export.
You can use the Preflight command
(File menu) to determine the color
spaces used by placed graphics in a
document. The Links And Images
pane of the Preflight dialog box lists
all placed graphics, and includes
information about the color space
used for each one.
Scale width or height (Setup pane).
To fit an oversized document on a
smaller piece of paper, you can scale
the document’s width and height,
either symmetrically or asymmetrically.
Asymmetric scaling is useful
when, for example, you’re printing
film for use on a flexographic press
to compensate for the distortion
inherent in flexographic printing.
You can specify scale values from
1% to 1,000%.
Print guides, grids, and other nonprinting
objects (General pane). By
default, guides, grids, and objects
specified as nonprinting in the Attributes
pane (Window > Attributes) do
not print. You can, however, choose
to print grids, guides, and other nonprinting
objects.
Printer’s marks and bleeds (Marks
And Bleed pane). The Marks And
Bleed pane provides several controls
for adding and controlling the placement
of several kinds of printer’s
marks. In addition to adding crop
and registrations marks, InDesign
also lets you add color bars and
bleed marks.
High resolution output of text and
graphics on non-PostScript printers.
InDesign uses a document’s Post-
Script data to generate a raster file
for non-PostScript printers that
includes high-resolution text and
graphics, overprints, and other
transparency effects.
Ink Manager. The Ink Manager provides
nonbinding control over inks
at output time. Changes you make
using the Ink Manager affect only
the output, not how the colors are
defined in the document. Ink
Manager options are especially useful
for prepress service providers.
For example, if a process job includes
a spot color, you can open the document
and change the spot color to
equivalent CMYK process colors.
If a document contains two similar
spot colors when only one is
required, you can create an alias that
links one spot color to another. To
display the Ink Manager dialog box,
click Ink Manager in the Output
pane of the Print dialog box.
the marks And Bleed pane lets you choose
among several printer’s marks, and enable
or disable printing of a document’s bleed
and slug areas.
the Ink manager displays the inks used
in a document and lets you map a spot color
to another spot or process color.
Print summary (Summary pane).
The Summary pane displays all print
settings and lets you save the information
in a text file.
