Export or import print presets

You can save print presets in separate files, making it easy to back them up or to make them available to your service providers, clients, or others in your workgroup.

  1. Choose Edit > Print Presets (Illustrator) or File > Print Presets > Define (InDesign).
  2. Do one of the following:
    • To export presets, select one or more presets in the list and click Export (Illustrator) or Save (InDesign). Shift-click to select adjacent presets. Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) to select nonadjacent presets. Specify a name and location, and then click Save.

    • To import presets, click Import (Illustrator) or Load (InDesign). Locate and click the file containing the presets you want to load, and then click OK.

Consider saving presets outside of the preferences folder. That way, they won’t be lost if you ever delete your preferences.
Note: Printer styles created in previous versions of InDesign can be loaded into Adobe® InDesign® CS3 and saved as printer presets.
