How are you determining the URLs do not work? If you export swf from Indesign and view, this opens your default browser to view the swf. The Flash plugin for this browser may not be up to date. If you want/need to use swf, here are your options and caveats: • A swf file by itself (without html) requires the visitor to have Flash Player installed. • An html wrapper for the swf can be opened in various browsers by visitor, but requires Flash plugin to be installed and up to date to function. • A projector of swf can be created, does not require Flash Player or up to date Flash plugin, but is platform specific. ...

1. What is the best preset for print? (If no preset provided) This question is asked implying that you do not know the printer and their capabilities. In which case, there is nothing wrong with using PDFx1a to export PDF. 2. Best preset to get transparency effect when printed? Transparency will be flattened when exporting to Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) or less. Presets and PDF compatibility are independent of each other. The preset "Press Quality" by default uses Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4) compatibility, and would preserve transparency. But, this preset can export to PDF 1.3 which would flatten transparency. 3. What do I do? All spots to process? Is that OK? If the project will print on a device that uses spot inks, then you need to preserve the spot color in export. An alternative method when dealing with spot colors is to remap a specific spot ink to one process color. Example: PMS 185 would remap to 100% magenta. This alternative method needs to be discussed with printer before preparing final PDF. 4. Do I outline my fonts or send them to the printer? No, if you are exporting a PDF, this will embed the font** without the need to provide font or outline. **Fonts can have embedding restrictions. ... View more

Here is an image that demonstrates how resampling to a smaller pixel size could make an image larger in file size. The 4x4 image on left has 4 contiguous sections of color. Resize to a 3x3 image, every neighboring pixel is different. Although smaller in pixel count, larger in color depth. Compression schemes work the best with larger areas of contiguous pixels. After I thought about this, the suggestion of turning off compression in previous post probably will make file larger, not smaller. ... View more

You are most likely using compression as well, and the combination of resampling and compression can actually create an image larger than the original. One thing to try when exporting, select "None" in compression setting. ... View more
