How to Insert Clip Art With Adobe InDesign
Adobe InDesign allows you to insert, or place, many different types of graphic files, including clip art. You can insert native Photoshop, or .psd, or Illustrator, or .ai, files or files saved as .jpg, .tif, .eps, .pdf, .dsc, .bmp, .jpg or .gif. It's important to choose the graphic format that matches how you plan to use the file. For example, documents that will be printed should use high-quality graphics and formats such as .eps, .tif and .pdf. If you use .bmp or .gif files, the document will work best for Web or online viewing only.
