Printing InDesign document with specific size in pixels.

Hello everyone,

 

I need to export an InDesign document to PDF file but must export it with a specific size. I have exported the document but the final resolution is only 612x792. As I add this to an existing PDF file it looks small because all other documents in my PDF file were scanned at 2550x3300 pixels so exported InDesign documents looks really small in my PDF file compared to the other documents.

 

How can I export an InDesign document with a specific resolution of 2550x3300 pixels?

 

Thank you in advance.

Change your InDesign measurement system to pixels or points (InDesign exports as 1 point to 1 pixel).

Go to the Page Tool and resize your document; change the Liquid Page Rule to Scale. 

Do a Save-As

 

Another option is to create an Alternative Layout using the same Liquid Page Rule Scale settings.

 

If you need more info on how to do either of these, please let me know and I'll upload screen capture.

I didn't mention it, but your document size of  612 x 792 is 8-1/2 x 11 inches in pixels/points.
