![]() ![]() This is new territory for me, so I am not absolutely sure. Hello I am looking into the process of converting old MS Publisher files to InDesign, but need some help. I think that Blurb (which offers a free downloadable InDesign Book Creator template, lets you create a PDF which you can print.) A little klunky as a solution but not much in the way of hard work. If anyone knows about a printer that offers such a template, please share. ![]() It would be nice if some of these short run book publishers offered an InDesign template, that allows you to layout a book that can be outputted to a PDF that the printer can use. It would be nice if some of these short run book publishers offered an InDesign template, that allows you to layout a book that can be outputted to a PDF that the printer can use. If your book publisher is one of the on-line services that prints one or more copies of a book, then I assume their type of printing technology requires RGB color space, which is why LR can integrate with Blurb. When I design and layout a CMYK publication using InDesign, I have to open each file in Photoshop, do the CMYK conversion, image edit and then save it to a JPEG, TIFF or PSD file format. This may be one of the reasons for the lack of integration between InDesign and LR. Unfortunately LR can not handle the CMYK color space, either soft proofing or exporting in CMYK. Many people use InDesign for designing and laying out CMYK print projects and want files in CMYK. When you export the file from LR, I suggest no cropping, and instead do this in InDesign. InDesign recognizes when a linked file has been changed and you can then update the link, which will reflect the changes made in LR. ![]() If you subsequently make changes in LR's develop module, re-export the file making sure to overwrite the previous file so the name doesn't change. Then place the file into the InDesign layout. You need to export files into the appropriate format (jpeg or tiff etc.), baking in your develop settings. I am not aware of Lightroom (LR) integrating into InDesign in the manner you are hoping for. ![]()
