Which version of InDesign do you have and your operating system?

You first need to create a new document in InDesign: File > New > Document (you'll need to know what size your document is to be.

A logo is normally in a digital format, such as a JPG. If yours is printed say on a business card, you'll need to scan the logo from the card and save it as a JPG.

You then File > Place your logo into your recently created InDesign document and add any text you want and save it as a INDD: File > Save As

You can use the InDesign presets to export your document, Acrobat PDF Presets and select Press Quality PDF.

Thank you Derek I have indesign CC

We never printed the business card it was just save with all the info I put

on this email. I have no clue how we saved it.... this is my first indesign

class in school I am 200% new to this. So I would have to print it first

then scan it and save it?

Hi Debbie:

It's not clear to me if you have designed the business card yet in InDesign. If you haven't, start there, but your instructor is listing the output that results from using File > Package on an existing InDesign document.

Barb I created the business card using the indesign software we just didn’t

have to print it we just had to save it we all the info I put in my

previous email so now I have to create an invitation card for a grand

opening and I gave to use the same logo from my business card. I have no

Is the invitation to look something like this?

Do you have the text for the invitation and the size of the invite?

Is the logo on another InDesign document, if not, where and in what form is it?

[debbiea22675948]

Yes we have to make something like that... and yes the the logo is in

another indesign document. I don’t know the form

At the top right of the InDesign forum page is a drop down entitled “Actions” from that select “Discussion“ then to the following Start a Discussion  page add a heading and your question (mark it as a question).

[debbiea22675948]

sorry Derek but still don't see it on the right

Look for “Actions” on the right.

[Barb Binder]

Ah, so you just need to reuse the logo in a new file? Is that the actual question? Nothing to do with the list in the first post?

If so:

1. Open the InDesign file
2. Click the logo with the Selection tool (the black arrow)
3. Window > Links
4. Right click the logo name in the links panel > Reveal in Finder (Mac) or in Explorer (Windows)

This shows you where the logo is stored currently. Copy it to your new project folder, start the new document and add it via File > Place.

We are always happy to help, Debbie.

[debbiea22675948]

I couldn’t copy my logo because I don’t see the link I made it up myself...

my next question is in the invitation card do I put the color if the

background first or I put the text first and then the background? I would

like to use a brown backgrounders

[Barb Binder]

It's best to start a new thread for unrelated questions.

The background needs to be in the back of the other objects. You can draw it first, and draw the other objects on top of if, or use Object > Arrange > Send to Back.

~Barb

[debbiea22675948]

so background first and text on top

ok I will try this tomorrow my head hurts......

thanks

[debbiea22675948]

how I start a new thread?

I have a question about size pages in different documents

[debbiea22675948]

it looks like it was not saved, it shows all of my elements in the business

card but this one...

On Thu, May 23, 2019 at 11:02 AM BarbBinder <forums_noreply@adobe.com>

[Barb Binder]

Just open the business card in InDesign and choose File > Package. Follow the prompts. Choose the following checkmarks from the bottom of this image:

~Barb

EDIT: And change Select PDF Preset to [Press Quality] in the last menu, and then zip the resulting folder, which will have everything she asked for in it, including your logo (it's a linked graphic).

[debbiea22675948]

I already did it. It was last week homework this week is using the same

color theme for an invitation to a grand opening.
