How to Make PDFs from Adobe InDesign |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
There are two methods to produce PDFs from Adobe InDesign that are acceptable when supplying files the RRD Pontiac Digital Solution Center (DSC). You can print a postscript file from Indesign and process it into a PDF using Adobe Distiller or you can export PDFs directly from Indesign. We recommend you make you PDFs using the print to postscript method because they tend to be more reliable however the method you choose is up to you. Printing a Postscript from Indesign and Distilling PDF Method
To process postscript files from Adobe Indesign into PDFs you should first set up a Distiller Watched folder.
Exporting PDFs Directly from Indesign Method
Using Adobe Indesign's export to PDF functionality is also an acceptable method for producing PDFs.
Extracting Single Page PDFs from a Multipage Document and Batch Renaming
Your final PDFs that are uploaded to RRD Pontiac InSite need to be in single page format. That is each page needs to be saved as a separate PDF file and named for it’s page folio. This is necessary in order to ensure that the pages are imposed in the proper order. It is possible to repeat the steps in the methods above to produce single page PDFs one at a time however that can be time consuming and tedious especially for magazines with a large number of pages. Alternatively there is a way to use the methods above to create a multipage PDF from which you can separate into correctly named single page PDFs. To do this you can use two tools you probably already have at your disposal. You can use Adobe Acrobat to open the multipage PDF and extract pages from it into single page PDF files. After the pages are separated you can use Adobe Bridge to batch rename the pages in a single step. Here is you you can do it.
