Adobe PDF options
Setting Adobe PDF options
Adobe PDF options are divided into categories. Changing any option causes the name of the preset to change to
Custom. The categories are listed on the left side of the Save Adobe PDF dialog box, with the exception of the
Standard and Compatibility options, which are at the top of the dialog box.
Category Description
Standard Specifies a PDF standard for the file.
(See “Adobe PDF standards” on
page 351.)
Compatibility Specifies a PDF version for the file.
(See “Adobe PDF compatibility levels”
on page 351.)
General Specifies basic file options. (See
“General options for Adobe PDF” on
page 352.)
Compression Specifies if artwork should be
compressed and downsampled, and
if so, which method and settings to
use. (See “Compression and down-
sampling options for Adobe PDF” on
page 352.)
Marks and Bleeds Specifies printer’s marks and the
bleed and slug areas. Although the
options are the same as in the Print
dialog box, the calculations are subtly
different because PDF is not output
to a known page size. (See “Mark and
bleed options for Adobe PDF” on
page 354.)
Output Controls how colors and PDF/X
output intent profiles are saved in the
PDF file. (See “Color management
and PDF/X options for Adobe PDF” on
page 355
Advanced Controls how fonts, overprinting, and
transparency are saved in the PDF file.
(See “Font and flattening options for
PDF” on page 356.)
Security Adds security to the PDF file. (See
“Security options for PDF” on
page 356.)
Summary Displays a summary of the current
PDF settings. To save the summary as
an ASCII text file, click Save Summary.
