      I saw something recently in InDesignSecrets about settings when making a pdf for print that let you keep the image as rgb, with the conversion automatically made when you create the pdf. Now I need it and can’t find it. I wasn’t sure either if it worked in InDesign 17. Hoping someone can direct me to that. There was a screenshot showing what the settings should be.

      Thanks!

      Jacqueline,
      In InDesign
      FILE>EXPORT Choose Adobe PDF (Print) in the FORMAT box
      Give your PDF a name and a destination folder
      SAVE
      The EXPORT ADOBE PDF dialog opens
      In the left-side column choose OUTPUT
      In COlor Conversion choose CONVERT TO DESTINATION
      In Destination choose U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 – or a different profile if required—-as long as it is a CMYK profile
      ( The default for CMYK is U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2, which is a specific CMYK setting for a web printing press and coated paper.
      Good luck

      Great, Thanks very much Mike. Is it ok to leave the photo as a PSD?
