![]() ![]() InDesign, Select All (only works on spread) not whole document. Remember, PDFs are intended to be output files, not working files. Even so, it’s pretty awesome to get InDesign content into Photoshop like this. Some text will be converted to outlines.Īlso, transparency effects are rasterized and blending modes applied to InDesign content will not be honored (check out the red rectangle in the images above). If your InDesign document contains a lot of text, don’t expect it will be easy (or even possible) to edit it in the exported file. Note: For lots more information about working with Smart Objects, check out Steve Caplin’s article in Issue #3 of CreativePro Magazine. Save and close, and the change will be reflected in Photoshop. If you chose Smart Objects, you can edit the content of a layer by double-clicking the thumbnail in the Layers panel in Photoshop. When you run the script, you get a dialog box where you can choose one of your PDF Presets, the Color Mode, page, resolution, and whether each layer is rasterized or saved as a Smart Object. Hidden layers, locked layers, and empty layers are all exported. The layer names in Photoshop match the layer names in your InDesign document. You have the option to place layers as Smart Objects or rasterized layers. Rob Day’s script works by exporting each layer as a separate PDF, and then placing those PDFs into Photoshop. He’s charging a small fee for it, but it’s worth it! The script was written by Rob Day and available to download here as a ZIP file. Note that Luis Corullon has also written a Javascript that can do this on both Mac and Windows! It also appears to be faster and has some additional options. While you won’t find PSD as one of the file formats in InDesign’s Export dialog box, you can accomplish this task on the Mac with the help of a script. This is also the reason you can only print on uncoated papers.While it’s much more common for Photoshop files to be placed into InDesign layouts, occasionally you may need to do the opposite, and open InDesign layouts as layered Photoshop files. For any smudges, you can use a standard eraser to rub them out. Like newspaper inks, Risograph inks never fully dry, so a Risograph print can smudge easily. The Risograph uses a soy-based ink similar to the ink used to print newspapers.Remember: that the darker the blacks on your colour files, the brighter the colour. You have to save your colour layers in grayscale (all explained in the video at the top of this post).Make sure you allow a border around your design of at least 1cm because Risograph printers can’t print in full bleed.Random dimensions or discrepancies between the sizes of your separate colour files will result in your design being offset. Make sure your document size is set to either A4 or A3 exactly.To rasterise type, right-click on the type layer and choose ‘Rasterise Type’ (see GIF below) If the person printing your work doesn’t have the same font on their computer, your type will be substituted, affecting your design. Please rasterise your type before sending it to print. ![]() This is all explained further in the video.ġ:55 Grayscale your image with an adjustment layerĦ:49 How to save your image option 1: as one Photoshop PDF fileħ:32 How to save your image option 2 as separate PDF colour layers and a low res colour proof.
