: How to EXPORT/ SAVE transparency for web use from InDesign? I would like to create a header for a webpage with a logo (with transparency from a psd/ tiff) some typography and an overall transparent
I would like to create a header for a webpage with
a logo (with transparency from a psd/ tiff)
some typography and
an overall transparent background
In InDesign, typography options are ideal for my purpose and I can place everything I like as accurately as I wish, but I struggle when it comes to
saving my result with transparency and
in a format that will be accepted by my content management system (wp), such as png.
InDesign seems to lack an option (for WEB/ Interactive intent), that will keep the transparency instead of filling my work's background with WHITE.
Am I doing something wrong here? Or would I have to go back, rasterize my result in photoshop again, re-select everything and use Photoshop's save-as-png option?!
That seems stupid and a lot of effort to me, there must be another way. Can you help me?
Thanks!

I don't know why people say you cannot- the last guy to comment is saying to save it as an eps and when you do open it in Ps (photoshop) it has no background, so it is like a PNG. If you save it in Ps as a PNG you are good to go- so there is a way. (just have to use Ps to do it and these days you can probably find Ps on a library computer, heck ours even has a 3D printing station).
His comment helped me as I needed to do this also. Thank you to who posted answer last.
From CS 5.5, export your layout as an EPS, then run it through Illustrator or Photoshop. That will preserve the transparent background.
Simply ensure you are checking the Transparent Background box when exporting.
If you're doing this and not getting transparency, then the lack of transparency is due to your file set up, not the export.
InDesign is not meant for saving images. InDesign is used to create works such as posters, flyers, brochures, magazines, newspapers and books. Not for saving images.
If you have access to photoshop or Illustrator, I would recommend that you use one fo those two products to save your PNG files.
