Trap Presets Allows you to create and apply trap settings for later execution by an Adobe PostScript 3 RIP that licenses
Adobe In-RIP Trapping.
Output Preview Combines separation preview, soft proofing, color warnings, and more in one convenient dialog box.
Preflight Allows you to perform more than 400 predefined checks for all the common output errors, and then correct
all fixable errors.
Convert Colors Allows users to convert any color space in the document to the target color space, for example, spot
colors.
Ink Manager Modifies the way inks are treated while the current PDF is open. The Acrobat Ink Manager uses the same
options and controls as other Adobe applications.
Add Printer Marks Adds standard printer marks to a PDF page for positioning. These marks are embedded in the PDF.
Crop Pages Allows you to define the crop, trim, bleed, art, and media boxes on a page. The elements are important for
proper page positioning and placement of printer marks, especially for imposition.
Fix Hairlines Based on user settings, finds hairlines and replaces them with heavier-weight lines.
Flattener Preview includes a preview for viewing transparent objects and the effects your settings have on those
objects. Use Flattener Preview to create the presets that can be used when flattening transparency. You can use the
presets to control the amount of rasterization that occurs during print output for the document. You can save these
settings as a preset for future use.
PDF Optimizer Provides settings for eliminating unneeded content to reduce file size.
