Reply To: Moving or Migrating InDesign CS5 Presets to new Mac

Presets (PDF Presets, Print presets, etc.) are stored in the code ball known as the InDesign Defaults file. This is in

• [home]/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version 7.0/en_US/InDesign Defaults

I think you should be able to copy/paste the Defaults file over to replace the one in your new clone, though Adobe cautions against it, especially since you're doing a same version/same platform swap. Try it and let us know if your computer explodes.

The other custom settings, like saved Find/Change queries and Workspaces, are in folders in that same Prefs folder, and those you can just copy/paste over, replacing the existing ones. (again, only recommended for same version/platform moves).
