About compression
When exporting to Adobe PDF, InCopy automatically downsamples images, crops image data to the image’s frame,
and compresses text and line art using the lossless ZIP method. ZIP works well on images with large areas of single
colors or repeating patterns, and for black-and-white images that contain repeating patterns. Because InCopy uses
the lossless ZIP method, data is not removed to reduce file size, so image quality is not affected.
Exporting to Adobe PDF
To export an InCopy document to Adobe PDF
Youcan export InCopy documentsdirectlytoAdobe PDF. Youcan export in theGalley, Story, or Layout view.Ifyou
export in Layout view,the result is aPDF document with layout anddesignelementsintact. In contrast,adocument
exported in Galley or Story view resembles the text-only look that you see in Galley or Story view within InCopy.
You might want to export the Galley or Story view of an InCopy story to PDF for writers, editors, and others in a
document-review cycle who may not have InCopy on their computers. The PDF document has the same advantages
that an InCopy Galley and Story view offers, including maximum text readability and annotation features.
Note: Adobe PDF files exported from InDesign documents that contain overprints or transparency effects are best viewed
in Acrobat 6.0 and later with the Overprint Preview option selected.

InCopy document you export to PDF until you choose new settings.

Note: When exporting to PDF, InCopy preserves links from Open Prepress Interface (OPI) comments for images in the
InDesign document. OPI links let the InDesign user include fast, low-resolution versions (proxies) of images for
positioning on a page. For final output, either InDesign or a prepress service provider can automatically replace the
proxies with high-resolution versions.
