User Guide

Bookmark

Displays X’s, indicating whether or not individual elements will be converted to PDF bookmarks.

Clicking an individual Bookmark check box changes the selection status for that element.

Level

Specifies where the element will fit in the hierarchy structure of the PDF Bookmarks panel. Clicking an

individual Level number opens a menu that you can use to change the value.

Note: When some but not all of the available Word headings and styles are selected for conversion to PDF bookmarks,
the marker in the corresponding check boxes at the top of the tab change. If all elements of the type are selected, a check
mark appears. If only some of the elements of that type are selected, a colored square appears. Otherwise, the check box
is empty.

Settings for a single conversion for Office 2007 applications

For Word 2007, Excel 2007, and PowerPoint 2007 applications, if you want the settings to be used only for the
selected conversion and not for future conversions, you can define the settings by accessing the conversion options
from the Save Adobe PDF File As dialog box.

View and modify options for a single conversion

1

Click the Office button and choose Save As > Adobe PDF.

2

Select the View Result check box if you want to view the PDF file after the conversion is complete.

3

(Word 2007) Specify if you want the PDF to be complete and fully functional or if you just need a quick and simple

PDF. The quick and simple PDF option does not allow you to create bookmarks from Word styles.

4

Click Adobe PDF Conversion Options to define the options to be used for the current conversion.

The initial settings in the Conversion Options dialog box are based on the options that you set using the Preferences
button on the Acrobat Ribbon.

Converting web pages to PDF

Web pages and PDFs

The core of a web page is a file written in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). Typically, the HTML file includes
associations with other files that either appear on the web page or govern how it looks or works.

When you convert a web page to PDF, the HTML file and all associated files—such as JPEG images, Adobe Flash
files, cascading style sheets, text files, image maps, and forms—are included in the conversion process.

The resulting PDF behaves much like the original web page. For example, the images, links, image maps, and most
media files appear and function normally within the PDF. (Animated GIF files appear as still images, showing the
last frame of the animation.)

Also, the PDF functions like any other PDF. For example, you can navigate through the file by scrolling or using
bookmarks; users can add comments to it; you can add security, form fields, and other features that enhance it.

In preparing to convert web pages to PDF, there are decisions to consider that affect how you approach the
conversion process:

How much do you want to convert?

If you want to convert only a selected area of the currently open web page, use PDFMaker from within Internet
Explorer. If you want to convert several levels or all of a multipage web site to PDF, work within Acrobat.
