Doubt on the export of pages in JPG format at high resolution with Indesign

Hello

I use to work two software, your skill of QuarkXpress and Indesign. If I had to choose one, I prefer Indesign, it is very nice and I love it, but I have to work with the software.

Well, I have a doubt about the use of Indesign method to export a page in JPG, high-resolution, because QuarkXpress do the same job, but in a different way, so my doubt is about the quality of the files produced.

It is a very technical issue, if someone with experience in the professional press and print or an Adobe expert could answer, I would be grateful.

InDesign, producing a poor quality file or QuarkXpress that producing a poor quality file?

My question is as follows:

I opened a document in Indesign, and I decide to export it. To simplify things, we have a unique page DIN A4 document.

So I tell Indesign to export the pageand I want a JPG, high-resolution 300 DPI file.

Indesign do his job very well, and produce the file exported. This is a JPG file, there are 300 dpi.

If I open the document in Photoshopand I'm going to... Image of ... Image size...

I see the Indesign document indicates the exact measurements of a DIN A4 210 x 297 mm and the resolution of the file, I have 300 DPI.

Therefore seems to be that indesign has done a great job.

Very well.

Now, I explain what is happening with QuarkXpress.

I do the same thing, I have a document to a single page, DIN A4 and I export it as JPG format at high resolution of 300 dpi.

Well, now QuarkXpress, create the file and I open the file in Photoshop.

Surprise.

The file has larger than DIN A4 and a lower resolution dimensions!

Exactly, QuarkXpress produce a jpg of the following dimensions: 874,89 x 1237,9 mm and a resolution of 72 dpi

When I see 72 dpi, I think that the document is in low resolution. However, I have a larger document?

I open the QuarkXpress file in Photoshop, then I uncheck resampling, in this way Photoshop will never change the image. Now, I change the value of resolution of 72 dpi, 300 dpi, which is the value I want.

And what happens? What happens is that I get a document with measurements of a DIN A4 and also at 300 DPI.

???

So basically QuarkXpress does the same work in Indesign, but in a different way.

The file QuarkXpress are 2.29 MB more or less. The Indesign file are 3.84 MB more or less.

So why these differences?

Which method is the best and why Indesign produce a different file to QuarkXpresss?

See you soon

As far as I know, the ppi is not the required metadata for the images.

So Im guessing that Quark exports jpg ppi worthless.

But Photoshop is to assign a value of ppi when it opens an image without specified ppi value.

This value is be 72, but it could be anything, because the pixel dimensions do not change.

  • Export all pages in JPG format

    Hi friends

    I use to write scripts for Photoshop, Bridge and Illustrator. But it s my firt time to write scripts for Adobe InDesign (and my first on this forum too). I m used to with the reference document JavaScript to this software 3, so I m getting direct assistance via the "Viewer object model" within the scope of the Script Toolkit for writing with InDesign.

    I want to export all pages in my document using JPG in the file format. Set the properties of an instance of JPEGExportPreference and I would like to use this configuration to export all pages. I'm just using the app.activeDocument.exportFile () method?

    Because I have not found a place to declare the method to read my JPG preference. It s also a range of error pages was not defined. Could you analyze my code and see what I m lack?

    Thank you very much:

    myDoc var = app.activeDocument;

    fName var = myDoc.name.slice (0, myDoc.name.lastIndexOf ('.)) »)) ;


    var older = new file (myDoc.filePath + ' / ' + fName + '(exported)');

    If (! oFolder.exists) {}

    oFolder.create ();

    };

    var fOutput = new queue (older + ' / ' + fName + ".jpg");

    var opJPG = new JPEGExportPreference();

    opJPG.antiAlias = true;

    opJPG.embedColorProfile = true;

    opJPG.exportResolution = 300;

    opJPG.jpegColorSpace = JpegColorSpaceEnum.RGB;

    opJPG.jpegExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.EXPORT_ALL;

    opJPG.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.HIGH;

    opJPG.jpegRenderingStyle = JPEGOptionsFormat.BASELINE_ENCODING;

    opJPG.simulateOverprint = true;

    opJPG.useDocumentBleeds = false;

    myDoc.exportFile (ExportFormat.JPG, fOutput, false);

    Gustavo, otherwise than in Illustrator (don't know about PS and bridge), in InDesign scripts you cannot 'create' new objects using this notation:

    var opJPG = new JPEGExportPreference();
    

    Try one with... statement rather directly modify the existing object:

    with (app.jpegExportPreferences)
    {
      antiAlias = true;
      embedColorProfile = true;
      .. etc.
    }
    

    (I know, there are a lot of articles that claim "with statement considered harmful", but for this particular case I don't see why, because it's just a shortcut for writing)

    app.jpegExportPreferences.antiAlias = true;
    app.jpegExportPreferences.embedColorProfile = true;
    .. app.jpegExportPreferences.etc.
    

    .. and so on.)

  • Export artwork in PDF or png in high resolution (SC6)

    I can't export a chart format high resolution.  The work I created is 2 inches by 2 inches in Illustrator, which is the size, it will be when printing.  "When I export the file, I choose png and select ' 300 ppi," leave anti-aliasing as 'none' and use a transparent background.  However, when I import the graphic into other applications (word, etc.) the graphic is fuzzy and, in any case, high resolution.  I tried exporting to PDF and gains (that I can tell with the naked eye) the same result.  It would also be interesting to note that I get an output fuzzy same inporting the .ai file, too.  I checked the resolution in the Illustrator document and its value is maximum (300).  There must be something I'm missing here.

    Thank you very much in advance for your help.

    Sarah

    (1) the graphics, is any part of this raster? Photo, shadows, etc.

    (2) the image will be printed to 600px X 600px, which could affect the sharpness of the final graphics. You could move the object (assuming that the vector based here) up to 4 "X 4" or 6 "X 6", export it, and then in your application that will do printing resize it up to 2 'X 2'. " It should provide a clearer picture.

  • Can I export a single page in jpg format from the module of LR book?

    I only see the option to export the entire book as individual jpg.  If I make a single change to a single page, to get the revised page as jpg seems to me export the entire book again. Is there an easier way to get the update page jpg file?

    Alan

    Hi Alan,

    No, you cannot export a single page of the book Module.

    However, you can try the following suggestion if you have a book with a smaller number of pages:

    Duplicate the book in the Collections Panel (right click > book duplicate) > then choose the book duplicate > edit the required page and delete all the pages except that you want to export > choose export to JPEG.

    Kind regards

  • Print right-page graphic overflow on the blank left page in pdf format

    Hi, I have a document with the verse pages. It contained there graphic on the right-hand page that consists of multiple images in a grid and rotates slightly. When I export to PDF, the part sticking out on the left side of the page gets "printed" on the left page in the pdf, which I want to appear blank. How can I avoid this? Very much appreciated.

    If you have objects that are placed on the two pages of a double, then the part that is located on each page will be printed (or PDFed). You must ensure that these objects are not overlapping the other page. How to do this depends on what your objects look like (fill, stroke, etc.).

  • When I click on the Firefox Start Page it goes to a full screen with the logo of Firefox... full page... nothing else showing... Help, please.

    Something went wrong when I was trying to figure out how to get my regular size rather than the full screen display. Cannot get any tools, options, etc. Only the logo of Firefox with the search bar... That's happened.?

    Normally the F11 key will pass you to the normal display mode (or in the display full-screen function of the current screen). Does it work?

    Mode full screen, drag your mouse point to the top must cause the toolbar area to slide down. Does it work?

    If Firefox is 'stuck' in the view full screen, the file that contains the dimensions of the window may become corrupted. You can rename the file to fix this problem, but it may also affect what bars are displayed (for example, if you are using the classic menu bar, you may need to which restart). Here's how:

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    To open the page without having access to all the foregoing, either:

    • Hold down the ALT key and press H to activate the Help menu, release the ALT key and press T to display the troubleshooting information page
    • type or paste the following text in the search box of the start menu, and press ENTER:
      firefox.exe "about:support"

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    To exit Firefox do not have access to the foregoing:

    • Hold down the ALT key and press F to activate the menu file, release the ALT key and press x to trigger an exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

  • Place the photos high resolution in InDesign - look terrible when I resize down! Does not work why!

    I'm a beginner with InDesign, so I'm looking for very clear instructions. I work with CS6 on a ballot. When I place very large, high resolution photos in and then try to resize the terrible resolution looks down.  I use the tool place during the import. At first I thought it was because I use the 'content to the chassis Fit' tool and who had settled the proportions. So I tried to "Adjust the frame proportionally" and who did not, any more than "automatic adjustment". I have tried to place photos and then making a control + drag to resize down - it did not work. I looked at preferences - file handling - preserve Image Dimensions (I deselected that option). Also, did not work. I wonder if the resizing affects pixels, but I don't know where to find it in InDesign. I found the instructions for Photoshop on the choice of Image - resize the Image, but not in InDesign. The other thing, on what I am wondering is that I put these pictures in a text box - which could cause problems with the resolution? Should I be placing them another way?

    Any advice would be appreciated with gratitude!

    You should always use one of the options adjustment proportional to avoid distortion. This may mean that you need to change the shape of the image frame allows you to adapt the shape of the image, or crop the image to take into account the shape of the frame. It is a reality.

    I'm starting to think that some or all the original problem may be in the jpeg compression, and I doubt that Pixillion Image Convertor is a good choice for downsampling (which isn't the same thing as compression). You can post one of these pictures somewhere for us to watch?

  • Export of pages in word format

    I am using a Pages document that I saved as a model because it has the logo of the company and images etc, and then I add the required text and save as a document.  Once I did I then need to export to a word document.

    The works of export, but the text is not saved on the same page... and appears on the second page, as if the words slipped out of the model page

    Please y at - there a way around this.

    Thank you very much

    Penny

    I used Pages 5.6.2, found an existing template in Pages that had graphics.

    Registered as a doc Pages.

    Then exported in file .docx for Word 2016.

    Opened in Word 2016 and saved as a new model.

    It seems close.

    See the pix.

    Note the extra page in Word, but you can fix that with margins. The full text is here. 433 words in both documents.  The graphics as well.  You need to play with the text box.  Search for page breaks in Word (see where they use the invisible command show) and see if this helps you locate a possible problem area.

  • All the exported photos to Photoshop Fix get their reduced resolution

    Hi all

    All pictures exported from Photoshop Fix get their resolution reduced to 2048 x 1152 (the original was 4240 x 2384). I tried to use photos directly from the cloud (without lightroom), but it's the same question. Soon, I want to export to Photoshop (office) or save to cloud the library, the resolution is reduced. Any tips?

    Thanks for your help

  • Limited resolution export to TIFF or JPG format

    Hello

    I can't export image 4500x2500mm with 300 or even 150 dpi. You will have to do with only 96 dpi.

    I use Acrobat X Pro.

    What is the limit and why are there limits?

    This combination is way too large to manage, especially a 32-bit application such as Acrobat. 4500mm at 300 DPI is 53150 pixels wide (which gives a picture of megapixel 1496).
