Indesign JPG Flattening Settings
For most uses this setting works well to flatten files that have image quality issues like:
- transparency issues
- layering issues
Notes
- For higher quality you can convert the file to 1200dpi. However, higher dpi will cause longer load times which can delay a project. If the file is too large it also may crash our systems.
- We set the color mode to RGB because it keeps the correct scaling when converting back to PDF.
- Anti Aliasing should be checked to keep the images looking sharp.
- After creating the jpg file it's critical to check the quality against the source file to make sure the file looks good.
