In the PDFMaker Settings area of the Acrobat PDFMaker dialog box, choose the appropriate PDF preset from the
Conversion Settings menu. The PDF preset determines file compression, image resolution, whether fonts are
embedded, and other PDF conversion settings. If you are preparing a document for professional printing, use the
High Quality Print or Press Quality preset. If you are preparing a document for online viewing, choose Small File
Size. The Standard default setting is appropriate for many business uses and desktop printing.
Settings for creating PDFs

until you change the settings.

In the Application Settings area of the dialog box, select whether to include bookmarks, hyperlinks, accessibility
features, and other options. Click the application tab (for example, the Word tab) to see options that are specific to
your application. In Word, for example, you can convert footnotes and links. In Visio (supported in Acrobat 9 Pro
Extended and Acrobat 9 Pro), you can flatten layers. Click OK to close the Acrobat PDFMaker dialog box.
