E-mailing InDesign files

[Sketcher]

If I were to do work in InDesign, how would I E-Mail that work to someone who doesn't have InDesign? Would he still be able to view that work?

How would I do that?

Sorry for the stupid questions, I'm still pretty new to this.

What version of InDesign do you have?

[Sketcher]

InDesign CS 3.

Creative Suite includes Acrobat, so this is very simple to do. When you get the file the way you want it, go to File>Export and get the settings the way you want them, and you have a .pdf file that your friend will be able to read.

Hope that helps.

be sure to embed fonts so they don't get a messed up view..lol

Oh yeah!! You would think that someone who forgot to do that with something sent to a magazine publisher in the last few days would have mentioned that...but, hey, I'm not real bright most days.

Thanks, D
