Grids in exported file (Indesign)

[saurabhs49195094]

Hi

I want to see grids on the exported file in any format (.pdf/ .psd/ jpeg)

I can see guides after exporting but not able to see grid lines in any exported document.

Used 'visable options' but no luck. Please help

Grids and guides are non-printing visual aids. How about taking a screen shot that captures everything on the screen?

Screenshot is the smartest (and only useful) answer to this issue. The above mention of an "Include" section of the General tab does not exist.

Hi @Michael23869666g8e5 ,

note that baseline grids ( per document or per text frame ) plus guides can be exported to PDF.

Not so the document grid. That would be a great feature request to add the document grid as well.

We often have to communicate the document grid to customers. In that case we rely on screenshots or on a guide grid that simulates the document grid.

You can export a PDF with guides and/or baseline grids.

In the export to PDF options, there's a checkbox called "Visible Guides and Baseline Grids" in the "Include" section at the bottom of the General tab.

If it's greyed-out, make sure to change Standard compliance to none.

Make sure baseline grids are visible before outputting the PDF.

Please note Document grid won't show.
