Exporting and publishing
Last updated 6/6/2015
Security Adds security to the PDF file. Security options are not available when you create or edit a PDF preset.
Summary Displays a summary of the current PDF settings. You can click the arrow next to a category (for example,
General) to view individual settings. To save the summary as an ASCII text file, click Save Summary. A warning icon
appears with explanatory text if a setting in the selected preset cannot be honored and must be remapped. For
example, if a preset specifies source profiles that don’t match the current color settings file, then the profiles specified
by the color settings file will be used.
About PDF/X standards
PDF/X standards are defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). PDF/X standards apply to
graphic content exchange. During PDF conversion, the file that is being processed is checked against the specified
standard. If the PDF will not meet the selected ISO standard, a message appears, asking you to choose between
canceling the conversion or going ahead with the creation of a non-compliant file. A widely used standards for a print
publishing workflow is the PDF/X format such as PDF/X-1a.
The PDF/X-4 format is reliable for live transparency and color management. This format is optimal for RIP processing,
digital printers that use the Adobe PDF Print Engine, and any PDF file to be printed in Acrobat.
Note: For more information on PDF/X, see the ISO website and the Adobe website.
PDF compatibility levels
When you create PDFs, you need to decide which PDF version to use. You can change the PDF version by switching to
a different preset or choosing a compatibility option when you save as PDF or edit a PDF preset.
Generally speaking, unless theres a specific need for backward compatibility, you should use the most recent version
(in this case version 1.7). The latest version will include all the newest features and functionality. However, if youre
creating documents that will be distributed widely, consider choosing Acrobat 5.0 (PDF 1.4) or Acrobat 6.0 (PDF 1.5)
to ensure that all users can view and print the document.
The following table compares some of the functionality in PDFs created using the different compatibility settings.
Note: Acrobat 8.0 and 9.0 also use PDF 1.7.
Acrobat 3.0 (PDF 1.3) Acrobat 5.0 (PDF 1.4) Acrobat 6.0 (PDF 1.5) Acrobat 7.0 (PDF 1.6) and
