Select Adobe PDF conversion settings
Predefined Adobe PDF settings provide a starting point for creating Adobe PDF files for a variety of publishing needs. These settings are designed to balance file size with quality, depending on how the PDF file is to be used:
ΓÇó High Quality creates PDF files for high-quality output.
ΓÇó PDF/X-1a checks incoming jobs for PDF/X1-a compliance, and creates PDF files only if compliant. PDF files that meet PDF/X-1a requirements are targeted to a specific output condition.
ΓÇó PDF/X-3 checks incoming jobs for PDF/X-3 compliance, and creates PDF files only if compliant. PDF/X-3 allows the use of device-independent color, in addition to CMYK and spot colors.
ΓÇó Press Quality creates PDF files for high-resolution print production, for example, on an imagesetter or platesetter. These settings require font embedding.
ΓÇó Smallest File Size creates PDF files for displaying on the Web or an intranet, or for distribution through an email system for on-screen viewing. No fonts are embedded.
ΓÇó Standard creates PDF files to be printed on desktop printers or digital copiers, published on CDs, or sent to clients as a publishing proof.
If your high-resolution print job requires specific output settings, you can edit the settings.
