Choose a file type
ExportFile type
Choose PDF, PNG or JPEG. For PDF, choose Screen (a light file for sharing), Print or Press (CMYK colour, bleed and crop marks) as the use; for images, set the resolution. Video, forms and slideshows do not work in a static file.
To export a single object or a selection as an image, select it in the editor, right-click and choose Export as PNG.

Choose page scope
ExportPages
Where offered, choose all pages, a range, or a single page. For spreads, check pages/spreads layout. Vector printing hides these scope controls; review that output’s scope separately.
