Exporting a layout in EPS format
When you export a layout page as an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file, you
can specify a file name and location and set multiple EPS export parameters
(through custom controls or an EPS output style). To use the basic EPS export
controls:
Choose File > Export as > EPS. The Save Page as EPS dialog box displays. 1
Enter a page range in the Page field. 2
To use an existing output style, choose an option from the EPS Style drop-3
down menu.
To modify output settings, click Options. Use the panes in the resulting 4
dialog box to control the format of the exported file.
To use an EPS output style, choose an option from the EPS Style drop-●
down menu. To create an EPS output style using the current settings,
choose New EPS Output Style.
Use the General pane to specify the scale of the EPS file, the format of the ●
EPS file’s preview, the format of the data (ASCII, Binary or Clean 8 Bit),
whether to treat the page’s white areas as transparent or opaque in the
EPS file, and whether to output the EPS file as a spread.
Use the Color pane to choose an output setup for the EPS file and to ●
select which plates should be included in the output.
Use the Fonts pane to specify which fonts are embedded within the ●
exported EPS file.
Use the Registration Marks pane to specify the positioning, width, and ●
length of registration marks in the EPS file.
Use the Bleed pane to designate a symmetric or asymmetric bleed type ●
and specify bleed distance around the EPS file.
Use the Transparency pane to turn transparency on or off, and to control ●
the resolution of flattened items in the EPS file.
Use the JDF pane to indicate whether a Job Definition Format (JDF) file ●
should be created at the same time as the EPS file. You might choose to
do this if you’re using Job Jackets in a JDF workflow.
Use the Advanced pane to choose whether the EPS adheres to PostScript ●
Level 2 or PostScript Level 3.
The Summary pane will display a summary of all the choices you have ●
made in the previous panes.
Click OK. (To capture the current settings without creating an EPS file, click 5
Capture Settings.)
