PDF Options

Font Embedding

To include all TrueType® and Type1 (Postscript) fonts from the source document into the output PDF file.  This creates a larger file but ensures consistent document display across different platforms.

To Use:

Select or clear the Font embedding check box or its sub-check boxes to turn these options ON or OFF.  Additional font embedding options include:

•  Partial font embedding: To set the PDF Converter to embed only portions of the font file that are used by the source document.

•  Embed standard fonts: To set the PDF Converter to embed Arial and Times New Roman fonts.  These fonts are not embedded by default as they are provided with Acrobat® reader.

•  Embed licensed fonts: To set the PDF Converter to embed fonts that require a license from their manufacturer.

Output PDF 2.0

To generate the document in the PDF 2.0 specification.

To Use:

Select or clear the Output PDF 2.0 check box to turn this option ON or OFF.

Page Content Compression

To compress a document with the zlib/deflate compression algorithm.

Disable this option for debugging purposes or for applications that analyze the generated PDF file in clear text.

To Use:

Select or clear the Page Content Compression check box to turn this option ON or OFF.

Web optimization (Linearization)

To view a PDF file from a Web browser, server, or remote location.  This option enables the reader to view the PDF page-by-page without having to download the entire document.

To Use:

Select or clear the Web optimization (Linearization) check box to turn this option ON or OFF.

Multi-language support

To convert non-Western-European and U.S. character sets (e.g., Eastern- European and Far-Eastern characters).  This conversion is less efficient and files tend to be larger.  Font embedding is recommended for PDF viewers to correctly display all fonts.

To Use:

Select or clear the Multi-language support check box to turn this option ON or OFF.

Output XMP

metadata

To generate an XML representation of the metadata that describes the document.  The metadata is formatted according to the Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) specifications.

To Use:

Select or clear the Output XMP metadata check box to turn this option ON or OFF.

Output PDF/A

To generate the document in PDF/A format.  Based on the PDF 1.4 specifications, PDF/A places a certain number of constraints on PDF files to ensure that they remain readable with future versions of operating systems and PDF viewers.

To Use:

Select or clear the Output PDF/A check box to turn this option ON or OFF.
