Introduction

This is what we'll do in this episode: export a PDF/X-1A print-ready file, complete with crop marks, bleed, and CMYK colors. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the Complete Adobe InDesign Series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. PDF/X-1A is the most widely accepted print file standard. This standard ensures all fonts are embedded, colors are already CMYK, and there are no problematic transparency issues.

Step 1: Export Dialog

Open the coffee brochure file that has passed pre-flight. Press Ctrl-E, name the file, and choose Adobe PDF Print.

Step 2: PDF/X-1a Preset

In the Adobe PDF Export dialog, at the top, select the preset PDF/X-1A 2001. The standard and compatibility automatically follow the PDF/X requirements.

Step 3: Compression

Click the Compression category. Color images in the sample leaflet at 300 ppi, if exceeding 450 ppi. This value is sharp enough for offset printing without making the file too large.

Step 4: Marks and Bleeds

Click the Marks and Bleeds category. Check Crop Marks and Bleed Marks, then check Use Document Bleed Settings so that 3mm bleed from the document is exported.

Step 5: Output and Summary

In the Output category, Color Conversion is set to Convert to Destination with a print CMYK profile, so that RGB images are automatically converted. The Summary category displays a summary and any warnings. Click Export.

Step 6: Checking the PDF

Open the exported PDF file. Crop marks are visible at each corner, and the background image goes beyond the cut line as bleed. This is the file sent to the printer.

Done!

Done. We have opened the export dialog, selected the PDF/X-1A preset, adjusted compression, marks and blades, output CMYK, reviewed the summary, and checked the PDF. In the next episode, we will use the package to collect all project files. Need a magazine layout design, book, brochure, product catalog, company profile, or annual report?
