How to Vectorize With InDesign

Adobe InDesign is an authoring application that graphic designers use to create professional layouts for digital and print media. InDesign allows designers to produce a variety of media, including brochures, magazines, posters and flyers. To vectorize a layout or object in an Adobe InDesign document, export the object or document to the Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) format. You can also export the document or object to the SVGZ format, which is a compressed version of the SVG format.

Instructions

1. Open the layout to vectorize in the Adobe InDesign application.

2. Click on the object to export, or don't click anything to export the entire document.

3. Click the "File" option on the top navigation bar and then click "Export."

4. Click the "File Location" folder and navigate to the location where the exported file will be saved.

5. Type a name for the exported SVG file in the "File Name" input box.
