Printing and exporting a PDF

- [Instructor] An InDesign document by itself is fun to look at but ultimately you're going to want to print it or export it out as a PDF so that other people can view it or print it. But before we print or export this file, let's see how it's going to look by jumping into preview mode. You can do that by pressing the W key on your keyboard, as long as you don't have your text cursor inside of a text frame, of course. And this is great because preview mode hides all your non printing objects like guides, and any objects that are hanging off the side of the page onto the paste board get clipped at the page edge. So this is what the final page is going to look like when you print it or export it to PDF. Now, you can actually select objects on your page and work while you're in preview mode and then when you're done previewing, you just press W again and you're back to the normal screen mode. Okay, now everyone knows…
