Destination Describes the gamut of the final RGB or CMYK output device, such as your monitor or a SWOP standard. Using this profile,
Photoshop converts the document’s color information (defined by the source profile in the Working Spaces section of the Color Settings dialog
box) to the color space of the target output device.
Profile Inclusion Policy Determines whether a color profile is included in the file.
Output Intent Profile Name Specifies the characterized printing condition for the document. An output intent profile is required for creating
PDF/X-compliant files. This menu is available only if a PDF/X standard (or preset) is selected in the Adobe PDF Options dialog box.
Output Condition Describes the intended printing condition. This entry can be useful for the intended receiver of the PDF document.
Output Condition Identifier A pointer to more information on the intended printing condition. The identifier is automatically entered for printing
conditions that are included in the ICC registry.
Registry Name Indicates the web address for more information on the registry. The URL is automatically entered for ICC registry names.
Adding security to PDF files
When saving as PDF, you can add password protection and security restrictions, limiting not only who can open the file, but also who can copy or
extract contents, print the document, and more.
A PDF file can require passwords to open a document (document open password) and to change security settings (permissions password). If you
set any security restrictions in your file, you should set both passwords; otherwise, anyone who opens the file could remove the restrictions. If a file
is opened with a permissions password, the security restrictions are temporarily disabled.
The RC4 method of security from RSA Corporation is used to password-protect PDF files. Depending on the Compatibility setting (in the General
category), the encryption level will be high or low.
Note: Adobe PDF presets don’t support passwords and security settings. If you select passwords and security settings in the Export Adobe PDF
dialog box, and then click Save Preset, the passwords and security settings won’t be preserved.
Save an Adobe PDF preset
Although the default PDF presets are based on best practices, you may discover that your workflow requires specialized PDF settings that aren’t
available using any of the built-in presets. In this case, you can create and save your own custom presets for reuse in Photoshop or any product in
the Adobe Creative Suite.
In Photoshop, you can save the preset using the Adobe PDF Presets command or clicking the Save Preset button in the Save Adobe PDF dialog
box. Adobe PDF presets are saved as files with a .joboptions extension. This is useful, for example, if you want your vendor or printer to send you
a .joboptions file with the Adobe PDF presets that work best with their workflow.
