PDF Export Setup dialog box

Use this dialog box to set options for exporting a PDF file.

PDF Version

Select 1.2 if you want to make sure the PDF file is compatible with Acrobat 3. Version 1.3 allows you to use larger page sizes if the output is used in Acrobat 4.

Image Quality

Sets the quality for images in the PDF file. With lower settings, the resulting file size can be smaller, but more picture information may be lost. The default is High, with some compression used. The Highest setting uses no compression ("lossless"). The other settings use JPEG compression.

Fill Mode

Sets the method for converting gradients, hatches, and other fills. If Device is selected, a PDF method is used. Some fills may be converted to bitmaps. If Stroked is selected, a vector method is used. In either case, certain fills may be dropped.

Note: If Export Gradients is not selected, gradient fills are not exported.

Export Text as Curves

Saves text as geometry rather than font-based text.

Export Gradients

Includes gradients and hatches in the exported file.

Page Range

Indicates whether to export all pages (the default) or just the current page.

Document Information

Lets you add author, title, and keywords. Users can display this information in Acrobat Reader by choosing File > Document Info > General.
