About InDesign
InDesign 2.0 and later is capable of outputting PDF 1.4 (native
transparency), and PDF 1.5 (layers), both of which Prinergy handles
well.
●
Native transparency can be useful because of its increased quality
and smaller files. Enable Native transparency in the Export PDF
dialog box by selecting
Compatibility: Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)
.
Alternately, selecting
PDF/X-4
from the
Standard
drop-down list in
the Export PDF dialog is another good starting point for creating
good PDFs for Prinergy's use. Check the other panels in the dialog
box to ensure that other settings are appropriate for your
environment.
●
Layers are useful only if you are preparing files for use with Layered
PDF Versioning jobs. Enable layers in the Export PDF dialog box by
selecting
Compatibility: Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5)
, and then selecting the
Create Acrobat Layers
check box.
These settings can be saved as a preset in InDesign. For more
information, consult the InDesign online help.

About PageMaker
●
Composite PostScript is required if you want to use Prinergy's
trapping or color matching features.
●
When printing PostScript, you should select a printer driver and
PPD that support color devices. Prinergy installs a PPD with
Prinergy Workshop that meets this criteria (
Prinergy Refiner.ppd
).
