Advanced panel
The Advanced panel provides control over OPI workflows, conversion of gradients, and
transparency flattening so that you can create output compatible with most output devices.
O PI se c t ion
Options in this section enable support for OPI (Open Prepress Interface) workflows. For
these options to work properly, high-resolution versions of linked graphics must be available
where the OPI server expects to find them. The OPI section contains the following options:
OPI Image Replacement:
Allows InDesign to act as an OPI server, so that it will replace
linked graphics in placed EPS files. This is useful when you need to output using high-reso-
lution data instead of low-resolution OPI placeholders (such as when flattening transpar-
ency). Keep the following in mind when turning on OPI Image Replacement:
•
When placing an EPS file, the Read Embedded OPI Image Links option in the EPS Import
Options dialog box must be selected to be able to replace the OPI links when printing.
•
InDesign must have access to the graphics linked by the OPI comments. If the high-
resolution versions are not available, InDesign preserves the OPI links and includes the
low-resolution proxy in the output stream.
•
To have an OPI server resolve OPI links later in the workflow, leave this option deselected.
