Real World Adobe InDesign CS4- P18: The book uses Robert Slimbach’s Minion Pro, an Adobe OpenType face, which was particularly useful when moving files across platforms. Code samples are set in Lucas de Groot’s TheSansMonoCondensed. A few other fonts were used for example characters. | 498 REAL WORLD ADOBE INDESIGN CS4 Exporting EPS Although we tend to eschew EPS when we can there are times when it can come in handy. For example if you have designed an ad that will be placed in a magazine produced with any version of QuarkXPress earlier than version 7. Those versions didn t handle PDF particularly well so EPS is probably the better bet. To export an InDesign page or series of pages as an EPS graphic or series of graphics as EPS is by definition a single-page-at-a-time format choose EPS from the pop-up menu in the Export dialog box or the Save as Type field Windows pick a location for the file and then click the Save button. InDesign displays the Export EPS dialog box. This dialog box has two tabs General and Advanced. Here s a quick description of the options in each tab. General. The controls in the General tab define the way that InDesign exports objects to the EPS file see Figure 7-22 . Pages. Which pages do you want to export Bear in mind as you work with the controls in this tab that each page in the page range you specify will be exported as a separate EPS file. To export pages one two three seven and twelve for example enter 1-3 7 12 into the Ranges field. See Page Ranges in Chapter 11 Printing for more information. When you turn on the Spreads checkbox InDesign exports the pages in readers spreads just as they appear in your document window. For instance pages 2 and 3 are combined into one wide EPS file. PostScript. Choose the PostScript version of the printer you expect to use to print the EPS. If you re sure you re printing on a PostScript 3 printer choose Level 3. Choose Level 2 if your printer could be PostScript Level 2 or PostScript 3. InDesign no longer supports PostScript Level 1 printers a Level 2 EPS file may or may not print on one of these old beasts. Color. Do you want to convert RGB images in your publication to CMYK as you create the EPS If so choose CMYK from the Color pop-up menu. The method InDesign uses for this .
