Adobe InDesign CS4 Articles


I've just updated the PrepressX website with four new articles demonstrating how to make PDF and PostScript files using Adobe InDesign CS4. This includes how to make PDF and Print Presets.

The transition from CS3 to CS4 for these functions are simple and straight forward. To learn more, check out the following Adobe InDesign CS4 articles.


Adobe PDF Presets

The Adobe PDF Presets function for Adobe® InDesign® CS4 is basically the same as CS3. As a matter of fact, if you already have defined a Press-Ready PDF preset from CS3, this will be available when you upgraded to CS4. If you are a new InDesign user, then you can use the following steps to create a Press-Ready PDF preset. Use this PDF preset with the Export as PDF function for fast and consistent results.

Export as PDF

The process of making a press-ready PDF in Adobe® InDesign® CS4 is similar to CS3. We will show you how to make a press-ready PDF by using the Export function along with a pre-defined Press-Ready PDF preset. We use the Adobe PDF Presets extensively, so if you have not created a preset yet, please check out the PDF Presets article. There are instructions to help you with making a press-ready PDF style for this application. Complete the following steps to create your own Press-Ready PDF preset from Adobe InDesign CS4.

Print Presets

The process and setting for creating a PostScript® file from Adobe® InDesign® CS4 is similar to CS3. If you are a first time user to InDesign, or even if you are upgrading to CS4 from a previous version, you will need to create a new print preset for the CS4 version.

To make the printing of a PostScript file fast and consistent, we are going to show you how to make a PostScript File print preset using the Print Presets function. You will be able to select this preset each time you print a PostScript file. Complete the following steps to create your own custom PostScript File print preset. Click the title to read more...


Print a PostScript File

The process of making a PostScript® file in Adobe® InDesign® CS4 is similar to CS3. A PostScript file created using this method can be used to generate multiple PDF files, like for making digital proofs and submitting for press. Use the many different Adobe Settings in Adobe Acrobat Distiller® to make as many PDF files as you like from this one PostScript file.

We will show you how to make a PostScript file by using the Print function along with a pre-defined PostScript File print preset. We use the print presets extensively, so check out the Print Presets article for instructions if you have not made a one yet. Complete the following steps to create a PostScript file from Adobe InDesign CS4. Click the title to read more...
