Edit Document Info opens the Document Information dialog box so you can provide
search keywords for the PDF file. Enter a title and other keywords, and click OK. (The
information is optional.)

Click Save.
To bypass the Save As dialog box and view the document in Acrobat before saving it in
PDF, hold down the Control key, and click the Print button in the application’s toolbar, or
the Print or OK button in the Print dialog box. Then use the Save command in Acrobat to
save the file in PDF. To be able to use this shortcut, PDFWriter must be selected as the
default printer.
Setting PDFWriter properties
The PDFWriter properties control the page setup, the compression settings, and the font
embedding of all Adobe PDF files created with PDFWriter.
Changing the page setup
The page setup for PDFWriter determines the size and orientation of pages. You can also
set the resolution of Adobe PDF files you send to a printer.
To change the page setup:
1
Do one of the following:
•
In a Windows application, choose File > Print (Print Setup in some applications), select
Acrobat PDFWriter from the Printer Name menu, and click Properties (Setup in some
applications). This will change the settings for the open file and for other files you
convert to Adobe PDF during the current session with this application.
•
In the Windows 95 or 98 desktop, choose Settings > Control Panel > Printers from the
Start menu, right-click Acrobat PDFWriter, choose Properties, click the Details tab, and
click Setup. In the Windows NT desktop, choose Settings > Printers from the Start
menu, right-click Acrobat PDFWriter, and choose Document Defaults. This will change
the settings for all Adobe PDF files created with PDFWriter.

To change the page size, do one of the following:
•
Select Standard, and choose a page size from the menu.
•
Select Custom, choose a unit of measure, and enter the page dimensions and margins.
The minimum page size is 1-by-1 inch; the maximum is 45-by-45 inches.
3
To change the orientation, select Portrait or Landscape.
4
To change the scaling, enter a percentage in the Scaling text box. Scaling lets you
magnify or shrink the document for printing. For example, a document that is 8-1/2-by-14
inches can be scaled to 75% to fit on an 8-1/2-by-11-inch page. Similarly, if an 8-1/2-by-11-
inch document is scaled to 200%, you will need to adjust the page size to 17-by-22 inches
to display the entire page.
5
To change the resolution, choose a Resolution value. The resolution setting determines
the number of dots per inch (dpi) with which a PDF file is printed and can sometimes alter
character spacing. For best results, use the resolution setting of the printer chosen when
the original file was created.

Click OK.
