Omit for OPI
Lets you selectively omit different imported graphics types (EPS, PDF, and
bitmap images) when sending image data to a printer or file, leaving only the OPI links
(comments) for later handling by an OPI server. The comments contain the information
needed to replace a low-resolution proxy (For Placement Only image) with the high-
resolution image located on an OPI server. InDesign only includes the comments; the
service provider must have access to the original high-resolution image on a server at
replacement time. Omitted graphics are usually displayed as a gray box when viewed in
the exported file. The Omit for OPI option doesn’t apply to embedded graphics.
For information about OPI linking and EPS files, see
“EPS (.EPS)” on page 226
.
Important:
Most OPI servers currently offer limited or no support for replacement of
omitted PDF pages. Adobe expects that in the future, PDF pages will be able to be omitted
and replaced just as bitmap images and EPS graphics are today.
OPI Image Replacement
Enables InDesign to replace low-resolution EPS proxies of
graphics with high-resolution graphics at output time. For OPI image replacement to
work, the EPS file must contain OPI comments that link the low-resolution proxy image to
the high-resolution image. 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 export file. Deselect this option to have
an OPI server replace OPI-linked graphics later in the workflow.
For information about OPI linking and EPS files, see
“EPS (.EPS)” on page 226
.
Transparency Flattener
When exporting a document that has transparent objects,
InDesign performs a process called flattening. In the Transparency Flattener section, select
the flattener style in the Styles menu. For more information on flattening, see the topics
under
“Controlling flattener settings and results using styles” on page 294
.
Simulate Overprint
Lets you soft-proof your document’s colors directly on the monitor
before they are reproduced on a particular output device. (See
“Simulating overprinting of
spot inks” on page 420
.)
Ink Manager
Corrects any ink options without changing the design of the document;
see
“Using the Ink Manager” on page 317
.
Exporting pages to EPS format
Use the export command to export InDesign pages in EPS format, which you can import
into another program. If you export multiple pages, each page is exported as a separate
file with a number appended to the end of the filename. For example, if you export pages
3, 6, and 12, and specify the filename News.eps, InDesign will create three files named
News_3.eps, News_6.eps, and News_12.eps.
If you want to open InDesign pages in Illustrator or Photoshop, export pages as PDF or
EPS files.
To export one or more pages to an EPS format:
1
Choose File > Export.
2
Specify a location and a filename. Be sure to include the .eps extension.
3
For Save as Type (Windows) or Format (Mac OS), choose EPS, and click Save.

In the Pages section, do one of the following:
•
Select All Pages to export all pages in the document.
