Print production
Acrobat 7.0 Professional offers sophisticated print production tools that enable a complete
PDF workflow for high-resolution output. You have a print production toolbar and
improved job processing controls for high-end printing--you can clear files in the job
queue and save the job queue history in Distiller. You can create custom product
definitions as Job Definition Format (JDF) files. You can add printer marks to the pages
of a PDF document, and media and crop box features have been improved. Thin lines now
print consistently.
Color space conversion
Color spaces of images and pages within PDF files can be converted within Acrobat.
Color conversion to CMYK
Using Acrobat, you can convert RGB, CMYK, and Grayscale color spaces to the target
CMYK color space.
Output preview
Output preview has been enhanced to allow rich black warnings, gamut alarms, and total
area coverage warnings.
Preflight profiles
Acrobat offers a more robust preflight inspection process with password-protected
preflight profiles. Preflight profiles can also be packaged for sharing with other users.
JDF files
You can create custom JDF files that can be edited and used in a production environment.
The JDF file may also include information necessary for the creation of Adobe PDF files
appropriate for the production process, including PDF conversion settings and preflight
profiles.
Printer marks
You can add printer marks to the pages of your PDF documents. And the media and crop
box functions have been improved.
PDF/X files

can also create a custom Adobe PDF setting to create PDF/X-compliant files when
converting PostScript files to Adobe PDF.

You can create color separations and then preview the separation plates on-screen to
ensure that the printed piece meets your requirements.
