These PDF files can be opened in Acrobat and Reader 6.0 and later.
Standard
Creates PDF files to be printed to desktop printers or digital copiers, published on a CD, or sent to a client
as a publishing proof. This set of options uses compression and downsampling to keep the file size down. However, it
also embeds subsets of all (allowed) fonts used in the file, converts all colors to sRGB, and prints to a medium
resolution. Windows font subsets are not embedded by default. PDF files created with this settings file can be opened
in Acrobat and Reader 6.0 and later.
Customize Adobe PDF settings
You may want to create custom conversion settings for certain jobs or output devices. The selections you make
determine such things as whether the document fonts are embedded and subsetted at 100%, how vector objects and
images are compressed and/or sampled, and whether the resulting PDF includes high-end printing information such
as OPI (Open Prepress Interface) comments. Default settings files cannot be modified, but can be duplicated to help
create new settings files.
Note:
If the PDF is intended for high-end printing, ask your service provider for their custom .joboptions file with the
recommended output resolution and other settings. This way, the PDF you give them will have characteristics optimized
for your print workflow.
