Adobe PDF presets
A PDF
preset
is a group of settings that affect the process of creating a PDF. These settings are designed to balance file
size with quality, depending on how the PDF are used. Most predefined presets are shared across Adobe Creative Suite
applications, including InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat. You can also create and share custom presets
for your unique output requirements. A saved PDF preset file has the suffix .joboptions.
A few of the following presets are not available until you move them from the Extras folder (where they installed by
default) to the Settings folder for custom settings.
Important:
Acrobat Standard does not include the Extras folder. The presets installed in the Extras folder are only
available in Acrobat Pro and Pro Extended.
Typically, the Extras and Settings folders for default settings are found in (Windows) Documents and Settings/All
Users/Application Data/Adobe/Adobe PDF, (Vista) ProgramData/Adobe/Adobe PDF, or (Mac
OS)
Library/Application Support/Adobe PDF. The default settings files installed with Distiller are Read Only and Hidden.
The custom settings are found in (Windows) Documents and Settings/
