How to Package InDesign Files

 

To send a file to us from Adobe InDesign, start by making sure all your clipart files are linked correctly. Check the links window. If any of your clipart files aren’t linked correctly either a yellow triangle or a red circle will appear next to the item. Make sure to fix the links before sending the job to us.

 

Next, go under the file menu to “package.” InDesign will check to see if there are any problems with a file. Click on “view info” if a screen appears saying “Possible Problems were detected during preflight.” You will get a report telling you what potential problems exist — for instance, it may tell you a font is missing. When you’re done reading it, close the window. Fix any problems, by turning on fonts or converting them to outlines, or relinking or updating graphic files, or anything else that InDesign tells you needs fixing. When you’re done go back to the file menu and hit “package” again. A screen will appear asking for printing instructions. Fill out your name, company name, address, e-mail and phone number and any special instructions you want to give us.

 

Click on continue. A screen will appear with “Create Package Folder” across the top. Type the name you want for your folder in the space across the top, select the place where you want your folder to be saved (your desktop for instance). Click on save. A new folder will be put together with your InDesign file as well as the fonts and all the clipart and photo files that you used in your file. This is the folder you will send to us.

 

Use Stuffit or Zip to compress the folder and upload it to our Digital Drop Box. If you run into any problems, we’d be happy to help. Just give us a call at 607-722-0826.
