CMYK.
Creates a separable PDF file by representing all color values using the gamut of
cyan, magenta, yellow, and black process color inks.
Destination profile:
Specifies the profile to use for color conversion. Available only when
color management is on. The profiles available in this menu are either unavailable, RGB only,
or CMYK only depending on the option selected in the Color menu. If color management is
on, InDesign uses the destination profile to describe the gamut of your final RGB or CMYK
output device, such as your monitor or a SWOP standard. Using this profile, InDesign con-
verts the document’s color information (defined by the source profile in the Working Spaces
section of the Color Settings dialog box) to the color space of the target output device.
Include ICC profiles:
Embeds profile information for color management at viewing or
printing time. The advantage is that if the application or output device that uses the Adobe
PDF file needs to translate colors into another color space, it has the profile information.
Simulate overprint:
Exports the PDF file so that it displays the effects of overprinting
where it was applied using the Attributes palette. This is useful when sending proofs back to
customers using Acrobat 4, which doesn’t support overprint preview (Acrobat 5 and Acrobat
6 Professional do). This enables you to soft-proof document colors directly on the monitor
before they are reproduced on a particular output device.
Note:
Simulate Overprint is intended for client review and proofing—do not enable Simulate
Overprint for a PDF that will be used to generate final high-end printing or separations.
Spot colors are not preserved when Simulate Overprint is on.
Ink Manager:
Control ink setup for separations later in the workflow, without altering the
customer’s original document. See “Ink Manager” on page 87. Note that if you make changes
to your document using the Ink Manager from the Export PDF dialog box (for example,
you change all spot colors to their nearest process color equivalents), those changes will
be reflected in the exported file, and saved with the InDesign document, but they won’t be
saved with the PDF export preset unless you update it.
PD F / X se c t ion
Select the Output Intent Profile for the PDF file. This is only available if you have selected a
PDF/X preset or selected the PDF/X standard in the General panel. For more information
about PDF/X standards, see “About the predefined PDF export presets” on page 117.
Output Intent:
Embeds a profile representing the type of CMYK output for which the docu-
ment has been prepared.
