At some point, the last correction is incorporated. At some point you will have implemented the best possible design. At some point you will be satisfied and so will your customer.<\/p>\n

Now you need a PDF of each InDesign file. Now<\/b> the Octopus will help you!<\/p>\n

Whether PDF export, “full wash” via idml or packaging – this script saves you a lot of time at work.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Better handling of documents
<\/b>You can choose whether you want to edit the active <\/i>document or all open <\/i>files. If a book file <\/i>is open, you can also select and edit it.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Storage location<\/b>
The script can store the generated files in the same directory<\/i> as the InDesign file. Alternatively, a directory<\/i> can be specified relative to the InDesign document<\/i>. Simply enter a name in the field and the script creates this directory and stores the data there.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

PDF<\/b>
Simply select the PDF export preset of your choice and all InDesign files will be exported in sequence with a single click.
No more endless clicking around for each individual file.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Why “Save as…”?\u00a0<\/h3>

Did you know that the “Save as…” command reduces the file size of InDesign files? InDesign optimizes the file structure and this leads to, in some cases, significantly smaller data volumes.<\/p>

You will notice this when you open the files. Your server will also thank you and uploading to the FTP server will be x times faster!<\/p>

Give it a try! And with “Exporter” from Octopus you can do this for all files in your job with a single mouse click.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Why do I need the IDML export?<\/h3>\n

If you export an InDesign file as IDML, you have an image of the file in a pure XML form.<\/p>

If you simply open it again in InDesign, you won’t notice any (or hardly any) difference to the original file.<\/p>

This is sometimes necessary to “clean” a file that is causing problems and make it work again.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t
