[. . . ] Adobe InDesign Help Using Help Using Help | Contents | Index Back 1 Using Help About online Help Adobe Systems, Inc. The Help system includes information on all the tools, commands, and features for both Windows and Mac OS. The PDF format is designed for easy navigation online, and support for third-party screen readers compatible with Windows. The Help can also be printed as a desktop reference. Navigating in Help The Help will open in an Acrobat window with the bookmark pane open. [. . . ] The PICT format is especially effective in compressing images that contain large areas of solid color. InDesign for both Windows and Mac OS imports PICT files created from Mac OS screenshots and a variety of other applications, including clipart collections. InDesign supports RGB PICT images with variable resolutions and embedded QuickTime images. PICT graphics do not support color separations, are device-dependent, and are not recommended for high-resolution commercial printing. The PICT format can provide acceptable quality only when printed on low-resolution or non-PostScript printers. WMF (. WMF) The Windows Metafile Format (WMF) is a native Windows format used primarily for vector graphics, such as clip art, shared between Windows applications. WMF files may contain raster image information; however, InDesign recognizes the vector information only. WMF color support is limited to 16-bit RGB, and the format does not support color separations. It is not an ideal choice for commercially printed or online documents. WMF graphics can provide acceptable quality only when printed on low-resolution or non-PostScript printers. PCX (. PCX) The PCX format is commonly used in Windows systems. Most Windows software supports version 5 of the PCX format. Using Help | Contents | Index Back 228 Adobe InDesign Help Importing, Exporting, and Managing Graphics Using Help | Contents | Index Back 229 The PCX format supports RGB, indexed-color, grayscale, and bitmap color modes, as well as the RLE compression method, which is lossless. However, PCX is not ideal for commercially printed or online documents. PCX graphics can provide acceptable quality only when printed on low-resolution or non PostScript printers. PDF (. PDF) The Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) is standard for the electronic distribution and viewing of complete documents. It preserves the layout, typography, bitmap images, and vector graphics files created in a great number of different applications. PDF can preserve color quality and layout precision for prepress work while compressing pages sufficiently for online distribution and viewing. For all of these reasons, PDF is a common format on the World Wide Web. Based on the industry-standard Adobe PostScript 3TM page-description language for professional printing, PDF pages are similar to PostScript pages, but can also contain multimedia elements and features for searching and navigating electronic documents. For example, PDF files can contain movies, sound, hypertext links, and electronic tables of contents. However, InDesign doesn't import included movies, sound, links, or buttons when you place a PDF file. You can place a PDF page as a single graphic in InDesign using the Place command (see "Placing a PDF file" on page 230), or you can create an Acrobat 5. 0­compatible PDF file using the Export command (see "Creating Adobe PDF Files" on page 361). If an imported PDF 1. 4 (Acrobat 5. 0) file contains transparent objects, the transparency is preserved and will allow underlying artwork to show through. PNG (. PNG) The Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format uses adjustable, lossless compression to display 24-bit photographs or solid-color images on the World Wide Web and in other online media. PNG was developed as a patent-free alternative to the GIF file format. PNG is best used for online documents, although its color support makes it better for printed documents than GIF.
