‍

To convert an AI file into a raster format for InDesign, you do it from Illustrator, not InDesign itself. Here’s a clear, polished workflow:

‍

1. To convert an AI file into a raster format in Adobe InDesign, you first need to export the AI document from Illustrator as a JPEG or PNG.
2. A dialog box will appear depending on the format you selected. For this tutorial, JPEG was used. Choose 'Medium (150 ppi)', which is suitable for general use.
3. Click 'OK' to finalize the export process.
4. Open Adobe InDesign and place your file via the File menu. Select your Illustrator file.
5. Click 'Open' to import it into your document.‍
6. Click and drag on the page to position and size the file as desired.
