sent your Canvas document when the exported file is displayed in a
PDF viewer. The text lines of optimized text would loose implicit
text kerning and appear slightly wider than normal. If your document
contains right or fully justified paragraphs, then we suggest that text
should be exported as not-optimized.
Convert all colors to (E) If activated, the color of all vector, text,
and bitmap objects will be converted into either RGB or CMYK. If
not selected, all objects will retain their original color mode (i.e.
RGB, CMYK, Grayscale, or B&W).
Images
You can also set resolution, compression, and JPEG quality options
of the PDF files prior to being exported.
Resolution (F) This option affects how bitmap images will be ren-
dered. Default settings will be either 72 or 96 dpi. The chosen resolu-
tion will be applied to all images. We recommend either 72 or 96 dpi
if a document is to be viewed online. A document that will be printed
should have a resolution of 150 or 300 dpi resolution. You may
choose a higher value; however, settings at a resolution higher than
300 dpi will produce PDF documents with a large file size.
Compression (G) All bitmap images are compressed during the
PDF export process. This feature allows you to choose either lossless
(ZIP) or lossy (JPEG) compression. Lossless is appropriate for tech-
nical drawings, illustrations, or cartoons while JPEG compression is
best for photographs.
JPEG quality (H) This option is only active if the lossy (JPEG)
compression has been selected. Four quality levels are available:
Best, Fine, Good, and Draft. These options are the same as the ones
for Flash Export (see JPEG quality (E) on page 14.213).
Transparency
Render mode and Color mode dictate how the colors of a transparent
object will be rendered.
Render mode (I) This option provides access to a drop-down
menu containing three options. These settings allow you to
specify which area of a transparent object will be rendered.
The three options available to you when using Render mode are:
1
Smallest area Only the objects that contain a transparency
will be rendered. This option can be safely used if there are objects
