General options for Adobe PDF
You can set the following options in the General section of the Save Adobe PDF dialog box:
Description Displays the description from the selected preset, and provides a place for you to edit the description.
You can paste a description from the clipboard. Editing the description of a preset appends the word “(modified)”
to the preset name. Conversely, changing the settings in a preset prepends the description with “[Based on <Current
Preset Name>].”
Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities Saves all Illustrator data in the PDF file. Select this option if you want to be
able to reopen and edit the PDF file in Adobe Illustrator.
Important: The Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities option counteracts aggressive compression and downsampling.
If file size is a concern, deselect this option.
Embed Page Thumbnails Creates a thumbnail image of artwork. The thumbnail is displayed in the Illustrator Open
or Place dialog boxes.
Optimize For Fast Web View Optimizes the PDF file for faster viewing in a web browser.
View PDF After Saving Opens the newly-created PDF file in the default PDF viewing application.
Create Acrobat Layers From Top-level Layers Saves Illustrator’s top-level layers as Acrobat layers within the PDF file.
This allows Adobe Acrobat 6 and 7 users to generate multiple versions of the document from a single file. (See “To
create a layered Adobe PDF file” on page 347.)
Note: This option is only available when Compatibility is set to Acrobat 6 (1.5) or Acrobat 7 (1.6).
Save Tiled Artboard To Multiple Page PDF Document Saves each tile in the Illustrator document as a separate page
in the PDF file. (See “To create a multiple-page Adobe PDF file” on page 346.)

Compression and downsampling options for Adobe PDF
When saving artwork in Adobe PDF, you can compress text and line art, and compress and downsample bitmap
images. Depending on the settings you choose, compression and downsampling can significantly reduce the size of
a PDF file with little or no loss of detail and precision.
