The Process

Prepare your InDesign Document

• Open your InDesign document containing your Volkswagen Ad.
• Go to the Links palette and make sure all links are ok.
• If not, re-link images to the document.
• Make sure you have all the original fonts loaded.

Create an EPS file

• Export your document as an EPS: Go File >Export. From the Format pop-up menu, choose "EPS".
• Select "Desktop" as a location to save the file. Click Export.
• In the resulting dialog, you'll have to check "Spreads". Only export pages 2-3. Make sure your bleeds are set to 0p9.
• Click "Export".
• Close the InDesign document
