: Printing poster from inDesign file I've inherited an InDesign file and I'm new to the software. I need to send an exported PDF to print a 30"x40" poster from this InDesign file. The InDesign

Create a new document that is 30" x 40"
Open the original document
Select everything on the page (Ctl/Cmd-A) and copy (Ctl/Cmd-C)
Switch to the new document and paste (Ctl/Cmd-V). Everything will be selected at this point, and the artwork will be centered on the new page. Don't click anywhere on the document or you'll deselect all of some of the objects.
Hold Ctl-Alt-Shift (Cmd-Option-Shift on Mac), and drag one corner until the artwork fills the new page.
Deselect, then adjust individual elements as needed.


If the artwork contains images, check their effective ppi by selecting them and checking the value returned in the Info panel. If any are below 150 ppi, you might want to consider replacing them with higher-resolution versions. Otherwise, you'll be good to go.
