Adobe Creative Suite 5 Printing Guide 121
•Line Art And Text Resolution: Lets you set the resolution applied to
areas that need to be rasterized because they are too complex to
be retained in vector form based on the current Raster/Vector
Balance seing. Typically, you should set this resolution to at least
1200 ppi to aain high-quality text rasterization. Consider seing
this value to the output resolution of your RIP, or a value that is
evenly divisible into that resolution.
•Gradient And Mesh Resolution: Species the resolution of gradients
and meshes, including raster-based eects such as drop shadows,
feathers, and glows, that have been rasterized as a result of aen-
ing. e most common resolution is 300 ppi. Higher seings may
slow performance without noticeably improving quality.
•Convert All Text To Outlines: Keeps the width of all text in the
artwork consistent by converting it to outlines. Because this option
can slow processing and cause noticeable thickening on very small
serif text, deselect this option for most high-end printing work-
ows. If you experience inconsistent text rendering on output, you
may wish to convert text to outlines when it interacts with areas
using transparency eects such as drop shadows. However, choos-
ing this option converts all text to outlines on pages that contain
transparency, not just text interacting with transparent areas. Text
on pages without transparency is not converted to outlines.
•Convert All Strokes To Outlines: Keeps the width of all strokes in
the artwork consistent by converting them to outlines. As with
converting text, deselect this option for most high-end printing
workows because it may result in a thickening of ne strokes.
•Clip Complex Regions: Ensures that the boundaries between vector
artwork and rasterized artwork fall along object paths. is option
reduces stitching artifacts that result when part of an object is
rasterized while another part of the object remains in vector form
(as determined by the Raster/Vector slider).
•Preserve Overprint: Preserves overprint aributes in artwork when
possible during the aening process.
•Transparency Blending Color Space: If you wish to change the trans-
parency blending color space, click the Change buon and choose the
appropriate color prole for your conditions.
5. Click the Save buon near the top of the dialog box to preserve
any seing changes, for access in the Print dialog box or PDF Opti-
mizer options.
6. Choose whether to store or apply the aener seings:
•Customized seings must be saved as a aener preset (see
above), making the preset available in the print dialog.
•While it is recommended that you apply aening at print time,
your workow may require aened PDFs. If so, make a copy of
the le, then click Apply to aen the PDF using the selected
seings. When you save the le, these changes are permanent.
Flaener Preview
Test various aening scenarios and preview the results. e OK and Apply buons have
very dierent functions: OK exits the Flaener Preview and stores the results for future
previews (if the seings have been saved as a named preset). Apply processes the seings in
the Flaener Preview dialog box, and aens the le accordingly. You cannot undo Apply,
but the le is not permanently altered until you choose File > Save.
