Linear or radial gradients created in Illustrator can be modified using the Gradient tool or Gradient panel in InDesign. If your illustration contains complex gradients, import it using the Place command instead.
Graphic styles. Illustrator objects filled or stroked with patterns become embedded EPS images when pasted or dragged into InDesign. If you select text using the Text tool in Illustrator, and then copy it into a text frame in InDesign, the text loses its formatting but is editable. When you paste text from Illustrator, the text is imported as one or more objects that can be transformed and colorized in InDesign, but not edited.
For example, if you create text on a path in Illustrator and paste it into InDesign, the text can be colorized, rotated, and scaled, but it cannot be edited using the Type tool.
If you want to edit the text, use the Type tool and paste it into a text frame. No link to the original Illustrator file is created. Layers and layer comps. You can adjust the visibility of the top-level layers in InDesign, as well as view different layer comps. Changing layer visibility or layer comps in InDesign does not alter the original Photoshop file. Paths, masks, or alpha channels. If you save paths, masks, or alpha channels in a Photoshop file, InDesign can use them to remove backgrounds, or to wrap text around graphics.
Graphics that contain paths, masks, or alpha channels act as transparent objects when imported. ICC color management profile. If you place a Photoshop image with an embedded ICC color management profile, InDesign reads the embedded profile, provided that color management is active.
You can override the embedded profile for the image using the Import Options dialog box or assign a different color profile to the graphic in InDesign.
Overriding the color profile in InDesign does not remove or alter the profile embedded in the Photoshop image. Spot-color channels. If the image uses a spot color that InDesign does not recognize, the spot color may appear gray in the InDesign document and print incorrectly as a composite. The image prints correctly on color separations, however.
To simulate the graphic as a composite, you can create a spot color with the correct color values, and then alias the PSD color to this new spot color. Be sure to remove the alias before printing separations, so that the image prints on the plate you expect. Using the Place command, you can specify which pages you want to import from a multipage PDF or an Illustrator file with multiple artboards.
You can place a single page, a range of pages, or all pages. Multipage PDF files let designers combine illustrations for a publication into a single file. The page range options appear when you select Show Import Options in the Place dialog box.
See Acrobat. The dialog box includes a preview, so you can view a thumbnail of the pages before you place them. If you place multiple pages, InDesign reloads the graphics icon with the next page, letting you place the pages one after the next. A placed PDF page displays at the best resolution possible for the given scale and screen resolution. When printed on a PostScript output device, a placed PDF page always prints at the resolution of the device. When printed on a non-PostScript printer, a placed PDF page prints at the same resolution as the other InDesign objects in the document.
For example, vector drawn objects print at the same resolution as other vector objects in the document. Bitmap images print at the best resolution supplied in the placed PDF. After placing a PDF page, you may break links by doing any of the following:. If you delete pages in the original PDF and update the link, the placed PDF page changes to the page that now falls on the originally placed page number.
If you reorder the pages in the original PDF file and update the link, the placed PDF page may be different from what you expect. When that happens, place the page again. In addition, any color traps included in a placed PDF page are preserved. When you export or print the document, you can preserve the ICC profile embedded in the placed PDF or replace it with the document profile instead.
Because a placed PDF page is linked to the original PDF, the placed page also includes the security settings of the original file.
If someone later changes the security settings in the original file, the security settings are updated in the placed PDF page when you update the links. If you correctly enter a required master password when placing a PDF page, you override any restrictions in the PDF page, enabling the placed PDF page to export as expected. Using the Place command, you can import pages from one InDesign document into another.
You can import a page, a page range, or all of the pages in the document. The pages are imported as objects much the same way that PDFs are imported.
Add pages in your document to hold the pages you want to import. You can scroll in the Preview window to examine the thumbnail pages closely. The page or pages you select are loaded in the graphics icon. If you place multiple pages, InDesign loads the graphics icon with the following page so you can import pages one after the other. The Links panel lists the names of each page you imported. If a page you imported contains a graphic or other item that was imported into it, this item is listed as well in the Links panel.
The names of these secondary imported items are listed under a disclosure triangle in the Links panel to distinguish them from imported pages. You can import a SWF file as a movie file. TIFF is a flexible bitmap image format supported by virtually all painting, image-editing, and page-layout applications. Also, virtually all desktop scanners can produce TIFF images. You can select an alpha channel when you place a TIFF file.
Spot-color channels appear in InDesign as spot colors in the Swatches panel. You can use an image-editing program such as Photoshop to create a clipping path to create a transparent background for a TIFF image.
Because it compresses image data without losing detail, its compression method is called lossless. Such compression works well with graphics that use a limited number of solid colors such as logos and charts; however, GIF cannot display more than colors. For this reason, it is less effective for displaying photographs online use JPEG instead and is not recommended for commercial printing. If an imported GIF file contains transparency, the graphic interacts only where the background is transparent.
JPEG uses an adjustable, lossy compression scheme that effectively reduces file size by identifying and discarding extra data not essential to the display of the image. A higher level of compression results in lower image quality; a lower level of compression results in better image quality, but a larger file size. In most cases, compressing an image using the Maximum quality option produces a result that is indistinguishable from the original.
Opening a JPEG image automatically decompresses it. Instead, it compresses the file using the JPEG compression scheme explained above. JPEG can be used for both online and commercially printed documents; work with your prepress service provider to preserve JPEG quality in printing. It is less than ideal for commercially printed or online documents, and it is not supported by some web browsers.
BMP graphics can provide acceptable quality when printed on low-resolution or non-PostScript printers. Press Quality. In this case, the quality of the content is the highest consideration. The objective is to maintain all the information in a PDF file that a commercial printer or print service provider needs to print the document correctly. This set of options uses PDF 1.

Magazine Ads Japan. Standard Acrobat only. Creates PDF files to be printed to desktop printers or digital copiers, published on a CD, or sent to a client as a publishing proof. This set of options uses compression and downsampling to keep the file size down, but also embeds subsets of all allowed fonts used in the file, converts all colors to sRGB, and prints to a medium resolution. Note that Windows font subsets are not embedded by default. PDF files created with this settings file can be opened in Acrobat 6.
