To customize PDF presets
Although the default PDF presets are based on best practices, you may discover that your workflow, or perhaps your
printer’s workflow, requires specialized PDF settings that aren’t available via any of the built-in presets. If this is the
case, you or your service provider can create custom presets.
1 Choose Edit > Adobe PDF Presets.
2 Do one of the following:
• To create a new preset, click New. If you want to base the new preset on an existing preset, select the preset first.
• To edit an existing custom preset, select the preset and click Edit. (You cannot edit the default presets.)
3 Set the PDF options, and click OK. (See “Setting Adobe PDF options” on page 350.)
Alternatively, you can create a custom preset when you save a PDF file by clicking Save Preset at the bottom of the
Save Adobe PDF dialog box. (See “To create an Adobe PDF file” on page 346.)
PDF presets are stored in .joboptions files located in /Documents and Settings/All Users/Documents/Adobe
PDF/Settings (Windows) or /Library/Application Support/Adobe PDF/Settings (Mac OS). All custom presets you save
in these locations are available in your other Creative Suite applications.
If you want to share your presets with a colleague, select one or more presets and click Export. The presets are saved
toaseparate.joboptions file,which youcan then transfer to your colleaguevia emailoroveryourcomputernetwork.
