I newly designed icons using Adobe Illustrator and now would like to use those icons for a document in InDesign. May I ask please how to integrate them? It is not possible to scale the icons when I paste the icons in Adobe InDesign.

Place them in your InDesign document. Shortcut is Cmd D (Mac) or Ctrl D (Windows). Even it is possible to copy from Illustrator and paste in InDesign, it is not recommended, but anyway, you should be able to scale the objects.

    So I create my log - Done. How do I add to library? How do I add the logo to the InDesign? Just hit  CMD D when on the document page? Sorry for not understanding. Could you possibly link a tutorial video? Not sure why when I save it has to do "ai" at the end and then in the InDesign I cannot use the "ai" saved doc....all very frustrating.

    When I try to save as PDF it does not allow me to save as PDF. 

    You can't save an indd file as PDF, you have to export it as PDF (Cmd E)


    Thank you
