Follow this procedure to make sure that you have Acrobat set up to enable Fast Web View during the PDF creation
process.
1 Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Acrobat > Preferences (Mac OS).
2 Under Categories, select Documents.
3 On the right side of the dialog box, under Save Settings, make sure that Save As Optimizes For Fast Web View is
selected, or select it now, and click OK.
Enable Fast Web View for an existing PDF
Use this procedure after you have verified your Fast Web View Preferences setting and checked the PDF properties
to be sure that the file is not already enabled for Fast Web View.
1 Open the PDF that you want to have Fast Web View.
2 Choose File > Save As. Select the same filename and location.
3 When a message appears asking if you want to overwrite the existing file, click OK.
You can also quickly enable Fast Web View in entire folders of Adobe PDF files by using a batch sequence. See “Run
a predefined batch sequence” on page 368.
Using the Adobe PDF printer
Create PDFs by printing to file
In many authoring applications, you can use the Print command with the Adobe PDF printer to convert your file to
PDF. Your source document is converted to PostScript and fed directly to Distiller for conversion to PDF, without
manually starting Distiller. The current Distiller preference settings and Adobe PDF settings are used to convert the
file. If you’re working with nonstandard page sizes, create a custom page size.
Note: The Adobe PDF printer creates untagged PDFs. A tagged structure is required for reflowing content to a handheld
device and is preferable for producing reliable results with a screen reader.
