InDesign files to send to Swiftprint?
The simplest way to check everything
is correct in your file is to preflight your document first and
then, if everything is ok, package the file (choose File > Package)
Preflighting
your InDesign document
InDesign
has a built-in Preflight command that automates the process of
inspecting documents for missing or incorrectly prepared components,
such as fonts, or
linked graphics and images. When you Preflight a document (choose
File > Preflight), a Summary panel appears.
If the document contains problems that require attention before
you output the file, you’ll see warning icons.
To view more detailed information,
click the panel names to display the Fonts, Links and Images, Color
and Inks, Print Settings, and
External Plug-ins panels.
Packaging your Document
Packaging an InDesign document is
similar to using the Save for Service Provider command in Adobe PageMaker® or
the Collect for Output feature in QuarkXPress™.
The Package feature
collects linked graphics and fonts, including fonts used in linked
EPS and PDF files. All of these files plus preflight and package
reports are then saved into a single folder for easy delivery. You
can use this feature two ways: by choosing File > Package, or
by clicking Package in the Preflight dialog box. If the document
contains
problems that generate Preflight warnings, we recommend resolving
any issues before packaging
the document—otherwise, the resulting package may be incomplete.
Please Note: Incomplete packages can cause
production delay.
