InDesgin CS6:  What is best practice for creating a jpg for web use?

My graphic design experience is heavy toward print, but I’ve been charged to solve this web-graphics problem for my team. I’ve done searches online and can’t find resources specific to this issue. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.
Here’s the issue:
My team uses both InDesign and Photoshop CS6, to make landing pages and other stuff for our website. After saving to jpg files, the InDesign files always have jaggy text compared to Photoshop’s jpg. What are we doing wrong?  Can’t InDesign be used for web?  I’ve also tried saving it out as PNG with no better results.
Note: The background in the InDesign files are created in Photoshop (these look fine in both programs)—but the text created in InDesign looks jaggy while Photoshop’s text looks clean.
Here’s how we save it in Photoshop
File > Save for Web with these settings: JPG, High, Optimized, Quality 70, Blur 0, Matte None, Quality Bicubic.
Here’s how I solved the problem (which seems too labor intensive to actually be correct) Is there a better way?
I convert text to outlines.
I change the “intent” to web intent
Manually reset the page size.   Whenever I change the intent in anyway, InDesign automatically changes the page size to 8.5”x11” or 800x600 pix regardless of the original page-size. I expect it to change proportionately from inches to pixels, or vise-versa, but it just won’t do it. Is there a preference for this somewhere?
Export as JPG with these setting:  Quality Maximum, Format method progressive, Resolution 72 ppi, Color Space RGB, Options: Embed Color Profile: sRGB IEC6196-2.1, anti-alias.
Our web people tell us that if we use a higher resolution the image comes in proportionately too large, and they can’t use it at that size.
This seems like a lot of work. There must be a better way?

Ok. Thank you.     Hmm....I don't have PDF/X-4.  I have Adobe Preset PDF/X1a and PDF/X3.
I assume PDF/X-4 is a from a newer version of InDesign.  Will PDF/X-3  work as well?
So there is not a way to achieve a crisp jpg or png directly from InDesign without all the steps I'm using now?
BTW, do you happen know why changing the "intent" changes the page size? or where I can change a preference on this.  unless I've overlooked it, I don't see anything relating to this under edit > preferences. 
Thanks again for your reply, I value your input!

  • Flash Pro CS6 - What is Best Practices for where to put the Document Class?

    Suppose you are given a folder with these 5 things in it:
    folder: bin
    folder: src
    folder: lib
    folder obj
    ProjectName.as3proj
    I am right now just creating a .fla called ProjectNameShell.fla that is basically an empty file. I just use it to publish through CS6 and also state which class to start from. Is the standard place to put this fla in this first folder or in src?

    Looks like a FlashDevelop project. In that I'd put FLA and project-specific classes in /src. Any 3rd party code in /lib. Publish to /bin. /obj is the wildcard, which could be complex objects (3d, etc). Some people choose to keep the FLA in the root folder (not in any of those folders) and leave /src to just project-specific code (mostly for easy repository usage). 
    There's no "perfect" way to do it. Just be on the same page with the people you work with.

  • Transfer file clean up: What is best practice when creating files with timestamps?

    Created an SSIS package to create files that will be sent which are created with a time stamp. What is the best procedure of clean up for the files? I'd like to keep at least a day of files for verification purposes.

    Run http://filepropertiestask.codeplex.com task to get the file creation date and if older delete it or a Script Task that uses the .Net FileInfo
    CreratedDate method to find it Then you can use
    Precedence Constraints to either skip the file deletion or not.

  • Whats the best way to create USER variable in BI Apps?

    I have just installled BI Apps and am trying to integrate EBS R12 with OBIEE 11g
    We have USER variable already defined in the BI Apps rpd.
    In EBS Security context init block i need to define USER variable, but when i define it... it says *'USER' has already been defined in the variable "Authentication"."USER"*
    Whats the best way to create USER variable for EBS Security Context init block?
    1) Delete the existing USER variable and then define a new one ( in this case all the places where USER variable is getting used in the rpd would become <missing>)
    And i was told that it should not be done.
    Let me know how can it be done.
    Thanks
    Ashish

    Disable existing Init block and then double click on USER variable and hit on NEW... button to create new Init block
    Thanks

  • What are the best practices to create surrounding borders?

    Good day everyone,
    I was wondering what is the best practices to create a look in my iOS app like the one below? How are they accomplishing the creation of the borders, is there a tool in Xcode IB to do that?
    Thank you in advance

    Once again thanks for your input, however I am still not clear how you have accomplish the rounded corners, you do not mention that in your reply.
    I did some research on my end and I was able to accomplish what I want with a UIView using the code below in an outlet:
    redView.layer.cornerRadius = 10;
    redView.layer.borderColor = [UIColor greenColor].CGColor;
    redView.layer.borderWidth = 5;
    However, I cannot do the same for the UITableView or UITableView cell.
    Thanks

  • What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

    What are best practices for managing my iphone from both work and home computers?

    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans withiTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.

    It depends on a various factors. There is no "generic" solution or best practice recommendation. Which migration tool are you planning to use?

  • What is the best way to create shared variable for multiple PXI(Real-Time) to GUI PC?

    What is the best way to create shared variable for multiple Real time (PXI) to GUI PC? I have 16 Nos of PXI system in network and 1 nos of GUI PC. I want to send command to all the PXI system with using single variable from GUI PC(Like Start Data acquisition, Stop data Acquisition) and I also want data from each PXI system to GUI PC display purpose. Can anybody suggest me best performance system configuration. Where to create variable?(Host PC or at  individual PXI system).

    Dear Ravens,
    I want to control real-time application from host(Command from GUI PC to PXI).Host PC should have access to all 16 sets PXI's variable. During communication failure with PXI, Host will stop data display for particular station.
    Ravens Fan wrote:
    Either.  For the best performance, you need to determine what that means.  Is it more important for each PXI machine to have access to the shared variable, or for the host PC to have access to all 16 sets of variables?  If you have slowdown or issue with the network communication, what kinds of problems would it cause for each machine?
    You want to located the shared variable library on whatever machine is more critical.  That is probably each PXI machine, but only you know your application.

    There seems to be a big hole in the documentation on debug logging in workflows and JSP pages.
    thanks,

    Make the configuration change in setDomainEnv.cmd. Find where the following variable is set:
    LOG4J_CONFIG_FILE
    and change it to your desired path.
    In your Global.app class, instantiate a static Logger like this:
    transient static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Global.class);
    You should be logging now as long as you have the categories and appenders configured properly in your log4j.xml file.

  • What is best practice for installing Yosemite

    I am currently on OS X Mavericks version 10.9.5 Macbook pro 13.  2.6 ghz intel for i5, 8gb 1600 mhz ddr3.
    I am now downloading yosemite 10.10.1 but since i've been reading all these negative feedback so far, i am having second thoughts if i should continue to install the upgrade or not.
    Any suggestion What is best practice for installing Yosemite?  Or is it not yet time to upgrade since the platform is premature yet?
    Thanks in advance.

    Check your apps are compatible with 10.10 - roaringapps.com
    http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck can show what is running & installed - look for updates on the developer own sites.
    If you have many kernel extensions or startup items look for updates to them too
    Take a full bootable backup to another disk via Carbon Copy Cloner, Super Duper! or Disk Utility
    Disconnect the backup before you begin any install (ideally set it aside & leave it untouched incase you need to go back to 10.9)
    Personally I prefer a clean install when there are signs of multiple migrations (if you have upgraded several OS for a period of years). Setup Assistant/ Migration Assistant can import user data from a backup, but consider that Apps & 'other data' should be manually reinstalled from the latest versions.
    If you clean install (erase the HD before installation) then make sure you deauthorise iTunes & any other apps that are associated online (like find my Mac).
