Step One: With your document open go to the "Apple Menu" > "File" > and select "Package…"
This will bring up the "Package" window panel. Make sure there are no major errors such as images missing, corrupt or missing fonts, etc. Click "Package…".
Next the "Printing Instructions" window pane will open. We do not want to fill out this information. Click "Continue".
Next the "Create Package Folder" window pane will open. Locate the destination where you would like to save this folder and Click "Package".
One last dialogue window may show up. This is information warning you about the legalities of using fonts, etc. Just click "Continue" and InDesign will continue to package your file. This may take a little while since this process is copying all your photos and fonts to a new location.
Close the document you have been working on. Go to the newly created folder and open the InDesign file found within in that folder. Any new images or other information you plan on putting in your brochure place in this folder. This will help keep all your files in one centralized location.
To compress this folder, right click (control click) on the icon of the Folder and choose "Compress". This will create a ZIP file that you can upload to dropbox. A ZIP file and a PDF are due along with your final printed brochure.
