User Guide Supplement
For more information about working with
trap presets, using sliding traps, or trapping
imported bitmap images, see InDesign Help.
Previewing color separations on-screen
In InDesign, you can preview color separations,
overprinting, and ink coverage on-screen to spot
potential problems before incurring the expense of
printing separations. PageMaker does not provide
this capability.
Single separation preview
Preflighting and packaging
Similar to the PageMaker “Save for Service
Provider” feature, the “Package” feature in
InDesign lets you save your document with the
fonts and linked files needed to correctly print the
document. As the document is packaged,
InDesign performs a final preflight check to alert
you to any potential problems, such as a missing
font or graphic.
InDesign also provides helpful information about
a document or book, such as the inks it uses, the
first page on which a font appears, and print
settings. Then you can package your InDesign
documents for print or Web handoff, or export
them as Adobe PDF files.
Using the Ink Manager
The Ink Manager offers nonbinding control over
which inks are printed. For example, the Ink
Manager lets you convert spot inks to their
process-color equivalents to reduce costs. This
feature is especially useful for commercial printers
and prepress service providers who need to change
how inks are printed from InDesign without
changing colors in the document itself.
Working with service providers
As in PageMaker, when you hand off an InDesign
document to a service provider, you can give the
service provider the InDesign document, a
PostScript file, or a PDF file.
