Share custom PDF settings

of the resulting file to other users. Those users can then add it to the Distiller applications installed on their own
computers.

Settings/[username]/Application Data/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings, (Vista)
Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings, or (Mac OS) User/[username]/Library/Application
Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings.

• Drag the .joboptions file onto the Distiller window.
• In Acrobat Distiller, choose Settings > Add Adobe PDF Settings, browse to the copied .joboptions file, select it, and
