ย
Check the following check boxes asย shown below:
- Copy Fonts
- Copy Linked Graphics
- Update Graphic Links in Package

This is where you save your copy that you willย send it to the print shopย for output. In this location youย will have your InDesign document with a โLinksโย and โFontsโ folder as shown.
ย
In the location you specified you willย find a โโDocument Nameโ Folderโ withย appropriate fonts and links. This folderย should be compressed with your choice ofย compression software. ie: Zip, Rar or Stuffit.
