      I am learning InDesign at home while volunteering with an organization that also has a creative cloud subscription on two computers. When the 11×17 flyer (especially) prints on their nice laser printer the picture is pixelated. The computer I use at that office has InDesign, but not Adobe as two other computers already have Adobe. Does it have to open in Adobe to print well? Another person prints and she also gets the pixelation from her computer. I used the preset PDF/X-1a:2001 and watched part of Print PDFs, David Blatner’s video tutorial on Lynda.com. Another thing that happened is when we printed from the computer I use at their office the greens in the flyer became darker and the flyer overall and picture in it became darker.

      Sorry, but InDesign IS Adobe?

      InDesigns real name is “Adobe InDesign”, and there is also “Adobe PhotoShop”, Adobe Ilustrator”, and many many more …

      The reason for pixelation can be many, what is the resolution og your images?

      I’m assuming that when you say Adobe, you mean Adobe Acrobat? If I had to guess about your images I would venture a guess that you may be missing a link.

      Open InDesign and open the Links panel. Check to see if any of the links have a yellow exclamation point or red “x” next to them.

      Thank you. Adobe Acrobat.

      No yellow exclamation marks or red x… I’ll check that on the computer I am using at their offfice when I go tomorrow, but the picture looks good there too. I have the graphics and photo linked there too.

      I sent them a pdf though, so I did not think that would affect the pdf that I send from my home computer.

      The picture looks great in InDesign. I set display performance in preferences to high quality because I like seeing that. The photo is 300 dpi and I exported it as a pdf with bicubic downsampling to 300dpi for images above 450, compression automatic (jpg), image quality maximum, .
