  • What is the best way of exporting artboards from Illustrator for use in InDesign?

    Hi,

    I have an artboard in Illustrator CS6 which contains some text with a scribble effect applied to it. I would like to use this text in an InDesign CS6 document. I am wondering what the best way of exporting/importing this artboard would be so that I get the best quality.

    Thanks,

    Nick

    i would suggest using the place command. in both programs you can find the place command under file/Place. you simply need to select the file you want to place and it will bring it in. as for which way is better. AI-2-ID or ID-2-AI. that is something I have never tested. I personally would just import the Illustrator artwork file into InDesign.
