Adobe PDF presets
A PDF preset is a predefined collection of settings that you can use for creating consistent Adobe PDF files. These
settings are designed to balance file size with quality, depending on how the PDF file will be used. You can also create
custom presets. Adobe PDF presets are shared across Adobe Creative Suite applications, including InDesign,
Illustrator, Photoshop, GoLive, and Acrobat.
Note:
Additional presets are installed in the Extras folder. For more information, see “To load PDF presets” on page 349.
High Quality Print
Creates a PDF file for quality printing on desktop printers and proofers. It downsamples color and
grayscale images with resolutions above 450 ppi to 300 ppi and monochrome images with resolutions above 1800 ppi
to 1200 ppi, prints to a higher image resolution, and preserves the maximum amount of information about the
original document. PDF files created with this settings file can be opened in Acrobat 5.0 and Acrobat Reader 5.0 and
later.
Illustrator Default
Creates a PDF file in which all Illustrator data is preserved. PDF files created with this preset can
be reopened in Illustrator without any loss of data.
PDF/X-1a:2001
Checks incoming PostScript files for PDF/X-1a:2001 compliance and only creates a file that is
PDF/X-1a compliant. If the file fails compliance checks, a warning message appears that lets you cancel saving the
file or continue by saving a file that is not marked as PDF/X-compliant. PDF/X-1a is an ISO standard for graphic
content exchange. PDF/X-1a:2001 requires all fonts to be embedded, the appropriate PDF bounding boxes to be
specified, and color to appear as CMYK, spot colors, or both. PDF/X-compliant files must contain information
describing the printing condition for which they are prepared. For the PDF/X-1a:2001 settings file, the default output
intent profile name is U.S. Web Coated (SWOP). PDF files created with this settings file can be opened in Acrobat
4.0 and Acrobat Reader 4.0 and later.
PDF/X-3:2002
Checks incoming PostScript files for PDF/X-3:2002 compliance and only creates a file that is PDF/X
3:2002 compliant. If the file fails compliance checks, a warning message appears that lets you cancel saving the file
or continue by saving a file that is not marked as PDF/X-compliant. Like PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3 is an ISO standard for
graphic content exchange. The main difference is that PDF/X-3 allows the use of color management and device-
independent color in addition to CMYK and spot colors. PDF files created with this settings file can be opened in
Acrobat 4.0 and Acrobat Reader 4.0 and later.
Press Quality
Creates PDF files for high-quality print production (for example, for digital printing or for separations
to an imagesetter or platesetter), but does not create files that are PDF/X-compliant. In this case, the quality of the
content is the highest consideration. The objective is to maintain all the information in a PDF file that a commercial
printer or prepress service provider needs in order to print the document correctly. This set of options downsamples
color and grayscale images with resolutions above 450 ppi to 300 ppi and monochrome images with resolutions
above 1800 ppi to 1200 ppi, embeds subsets of fonts used in the document (if allowed), and creates a higher image
resolution than the Standard settings. When exporting a document that uses fonts with permission bits that do not
allow embedding, a warning message appears and the fonts are substituted. These PDF files can be opened in Acrobat
5.0 and Acrobat Reader 5.0 and later.
Note:
Before creating an Adobe PDF file to send to a commercial printer or prepress service provider, find out what the
output resolution and other settings should be, or ask for a .joboptions file with the recommended settings. You may need
to customize the Adobe PDF settings for a particular provider and then provide a .joboptions file of your own.
Smallest File Size
Creates PDF files for displaying on the web, on an intranet, for distribution through an email
system for on-screen viewing, or for display on smaller more portable devices (such as handhelds). This set of
options uses compression, downsampling, and a relatively low image resolution. It converts all colors to sRGB, and
does not embed fonts unless absolutely necessary. It also optimizes files for byte serving. These PDF files can be
opened in Acrobat 5.0 and Acrobat Reader 5.0 and later.
