Export to interactive PDF options
The following options appear in the Export To Interactive PDF dialog box.
Pages
Indicate whether all pages in the document, or a page range is included. If you select Range, specify a page range,
such as 1-7, 9 to print pages 1 through 7 and 9. See
.
View After Exporting
Opens the newly-created PDF file in the default PDF viewing application.
Embed Page Thumbnails
Embeds a thumbnail preview for each page in the PDF, increasing the file size. Deselect this
setting when users of Acrobat 5.0 and later will view and print the PDF; these versions generate thumbnails dynamically
each time you click the Pages panel of a PDF.
Create Acrobat Layers
Saves each InDesign layer as an Acrobat layer within the PDF. The layers are fully navigable,
which allows users of Acrobat 6.0 and later to generate multiple versions of the file from a single PDF.
Create Tagged PDF
During export, automatically tags elements in the story based on a subset of the Acrobat tags that
InDesign supports. This includes recognition of paragraphs, basic text formatting, lists, and tables. (You can also insert
and adjust tags in the document before exporting to PDF. See
.)
Use Structure for Tab Order
During export, uses the Tab Order specified using Object > Interactive > Set Tab Order.
This option is only available for tagged PDFs.
View
Initial view settings of the PDF when it’s opened.
Layout
Initial layout of the PDF when it’s opened.
Presentation
Select Opens In Full Screen Mode to display the PDF in Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader without menus
or panels displayed. To advance the pages automatically, select Flip Pages Every and specify the number of seconds
between page turns.
Page Transitions
Specify one page transition to apply to all pages during export. If you use the Page Transitions panel
to specify transitions, choose the From Document option to use those settings.
Buttons And Media
Select Include All to allow movies, sounds, and buttons to be interactive in the exported PDF file.
Select Appearance Only to include the normal state of buttons and the video posters as static elements.
Compression
Choose JPEG (Lossy) to remove image data and possibly reduce image quality. However, file size is
reduced with a minimal loss of information. Choose JPEG 2000 (Lossless) to export the file without lossy compression.
Choose Automatic to let InDesign determine the best quality for color and grayscale images.
JPEG Quality
Specifies the amount of detail in the exported image. The higher the quality, the larger the file size. This
option is dimmed if you choose JPEG 2000 (Lossless) for Compression.
Resolution
Specify the resolution of bitmap images in the exported PDF. Choosing a high resolution is especially
important to allow viewers to zoom in on pixel-based content within your exported PDF. Choosing a high resolution
can significantly increase the file size.
