If you’re saving a document in order to bring it to a prepress service provider for final output, InDesign can automat-
ically collect all necessary files, such as linked graphics and fonts, in one folder. (See “Package files” on page 563.)
❖ Do one of the following:
• Tosaveadocumentunderanewname,chooseFile>SaveAs,specifyalocationandfilename,andclickSave.The
newly named file becomes the active document. Using the Save As command might reduce the file size.
• To save an existing document under the same name, choose File > Save.
• To save all open documents to their existing locations and filenames, press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S (Windows) or
Command+Option+Shift+S (Mac OS).
• To save a copy of a document under a new name, choose File > Save a Copy, specify a location and filename, and
click Save. The saved copy does not become the active document.
Important: To avoid problems, avoid reserved characters that have special meanings in some operating systems. For
example, avoid filenames with spaces, tabs, or initial periods, or filenames that use these characters: / \ : ; * ? < > , $ %.
Similarly, avoid using characters with accents (such as ü, ñ, or é), even when using a non-English version of InDesign.
Problems may occur if the file is opened in a different platform.

Save backwards to previous InDesign versions
To open an InDesign CS3 document in InDesign CS2, you must install the appropriate plug-ins in the previous
version of InDesign and export the InDesign CS3 document to the InDesign Interchange (INX) format.
You can obtain the compatibility plug-ins for InDesign CS2 by choosing Help > Updates and following the prompts.
You can also obtain them from the Adobe website: Choose Support > Updates, and go to the InDesign Downloads
page.
Be aware that content created using features specific to InDesign CS3 might be modified or omitted when you open
the document in a InDesign CS2.
1 Choose File > Export.
2 From the File Type (Windows) or Formats (Mac OS) menu, choose InDesign Interchange.
3 Click Save.
You can open the .inx file in InDesign CS2 to convert it to an untitled InDesign document.
Include previews in saved documents
Thumbnail previews of documents and templates provide easy identification of those files in Adobe Bridge and in
Version Cue file dialog boxes. A preview is created when you save a document or template. A document preview
includes a JPEG image of only the first spread; a template preview includes a JPEG image of each page in the
template. You can control the size of the preview to suit your needs. For example, Extra Large 1024x1024 enables you
to quickly scan the contents of a page at high-resolution before you open the file.
Dear manymanuals.pl Admin! my name’s Eric and for just a second, imagine this… - Someone does a search and winds up at manymanuals.pl. - They hang out for a minute to check it out. I’m interested… but… maybe… - And then they hit the back button and check out the other search results instead. - Bottom line – you got an eyeball, but nothing else to show for it. - There they go. This isn’t really your fault – it happens a LOT – studies show 7 out of 10 visitors to any site disap
Dear, Eric here with a quick thought about your website manymanuals.pl Owner! I’m on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites. Like yours, many of them have great content. But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits. I get it – it’s hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else. Here’s a solution for y
