PageProof plugin for Adobe Creative Cloud: File exports explained

When you create a proof or new version using the PageProof plugins for Adobe Creative Cloud, PageProof exports your file in a format suited to the Adobe app you’re using.

Adobe InDesign

By default, InDesign exports your file as a PDF/X-3. This includes links and fonts, with transparency resolved by InDesign.

You can also:

  • Select Interactive PDF, or another preset, under PDF preset.

  • Export the file as an InDesign .indd file.

  • Export the document as spreads.

  • Define a specific page range.

  • Include crop marks and bleed.

Adobe Photoshop

Photoshop exports the native .psd file by default.

If your file contains artboards, you can choose specific artboards to include in the proof, or select All artboards.

You can also choose to export the file as a:

  • .jpg

  • .png

Adobe Illustrator

Illustrator exports an .ai file by default.

Under Format, you can choose to export the file as a PDF instead. All visible artboards are exported as individual pages in the proof.

Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects

Premiere Pro and After Effects export the selected sequence as an H.264 HD .mp4 file.

In Premiere Pro, you can also define the sequence’s in and out points before exporting.

Adobe Express

Adobe Express lets you export your creative as:

  • PDF for multi-page creative

  • PNG for single-page creative

  • JPG for single-page creative

The PageProof Adobe Express add-on also lets you create proofs, action comments, and upload new versions without leaving Adobe Express.
