The PCX format supports RGB, indexed-color, grayscale, and bitmap color modes, as well 
as the RLE compression method, which is lossless. It does not support alpha channels. 
Images can have a bit depth of 1, 4, 8, or 24 bits. However, PCX is not ideal for commer-
cially printed or online documents. PCX graphics can provide acceptable quality only 
when printed on low-resolution or non PostScript printers.

PDF (.PDF)

The Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) is standard for the electronic distri-
bution and viewing of complete documents. It preserves the layout, typography, bitmap 
images, and vector graphics files created in a great number of different applications. PDF 
can preserve color quality and layout precision for prepress work while compressing 
pages sufficiently for online distribution and viewing. PDF files can be viewed using the 
free Acrobat Reader

®

. For all of these reasons, PDF is a common format on the World Wide 

Web.

Based on the industry-standard Adobe PostScript 3

™

 page-description language for 

professional printing, PDF pages are similar to PostScript pages, but can also contain 
multimedia elements and features for searching and navigating electronic documents. For 
example, PDF files can contain movies, sound, hypertext links, and electronic tables of 
contents. However, InDesign doesn’t import included movies, sound, links, or buttons 
when you place a PDF file.

You can place a PDF page as a single graphic in InDesign using the Place command (see 

“Placing a PDF file” on page 230

), or you can create an Acrobat 5.0–compatible PDF file 

using the Export command (see 

“Creating Adobe PDF Files” on page 361

). 

If an imported PDF 1.4 (Acrobat 5.0) file contains transparent objects, the transparency is 
preserved and will allow underlying artwork to show through.

PNG (.PNG)

The Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format uses adjustable, lossless compression to 
display 24-bit photographs or solid-color images on the World Wide Web and in other 
online media. PNG was developed as a patent-free alternative to the GIF file format. It 
supports transparency in an alpha channel or a designated color. PNG is best used for 
online documents, although its color support makes it better for printed documents than 
GIF. However, color PNG graphics placed in an InDesign document are RGB bitmap 
images, so they print only as composites, not on color separations.

When you place a PNG image, you can select Show Import Options to see a dialog box 
with three panels of import settings. Two panels contain the same options available for 
other bitmap image formats. The other panel, PNG Settings, contains the following 
settings:

Use Transparency Information

This option is enabled by default when a PNG graphic 

includes transparency. If an imported PNG file contains transparency, the graphic interacts 
only where the background is transparent. 

White Background

If a PNG graphic does not contain a file-defined background color, 

this option will be selected by default. However, it is only enabled if Use Transparency 
Information is activated. If this option is selected, white is used as the background color 
when applying transparency information.
