Part VII

Printing and

Multimedia

Essentials

In this part . . .

Finally, your layout is done. It’s beautiful, it’s wellwritten, and you’re eager to share it with your readers. This part shows you how to take the final step

to print or create a PDF version of your layout. InDesign

gives you a lot of control over output, so you can optimize

the results based on what you’re printing it to, such as

ensuring color fidelity and the best possible image resolution. Then you can start the whole creation, refinement, and output process over again with your next layout!

Plus, this part explains how to go beyond print into the

brave new world of the multimedia by exporting files in

the Web’s HTML format, creating interactive PDF files

with effects such as buttons and embedded movies, and

even creating Flash animation files from your InDesign

layout. Can 3D be far behind?
