Chapter 20. Exporting

Printing your document on paper is not the only way in which your InDesign files can be published. Today there are many more options for publishing documents.

For instance, you might want clients to read your document electronically even if they don't have the InDesign application. Or you might want to take a design that you created with InDesign and use it as the graphic in another page-layout program. Or you may want to turn your InDesign document into Web pages. You may even want to display your InDesign pages on mobile phones!

When you convert InDesign documents into other formats, you use the export features of the program. Using the export command lets you change InDesign documents into other types of publications such as portable document format (PDF) files or Web hypertext markup language (HTML) pages.
