Generate CSS Specify whether you want InDesign to generate an external CSS for the exported file. If you export your
document/book to EPUB without generating a CSS, only the classes associated with the styles are marked in the HTML
tags. No overriding classes are created.
Preserve Local Overrides If this option is selected, local formatting such as italic or bold is included.
Include Embeddable Fonts Includes all fonts that are embeddable, in the eBook. Fonts include embedding bits that
determine if the font is embeddable.
Add Style Sheet Specify the URL of the existing CSS style sheet, which is usually a relative URL, such as
“/styles/style.css.” InDesign does not check whether the CSS exists or is valid. You can use Dreamweaver to confirm
your external CSS setup.
Javascript Specify the URL of an existing JavaScript. InDesign does not check whether the JavaScript exists or is valid,
so you’ll want to confirm your JavaScript setup.

Adobe PDF options
Adobe PDF option categories
You can set PDF options when you export to PDF or when you create or edit PDF presets. Adobe PDF options are
divided into categories. The categories are listed on the left side of the Export Adobe PDF dialog box, with the exception
of the Standard and Compatibility options, which are at the top of the dialog box. When you’re exporting to PDF,
changing any of the options causes “modified” to appear at the end of the preset name.
Standard Specifies a PDF/X format for the file.
Compatibility Specifies a PDF version for the file.
General Specifies basic file options.
Compression Specifies if artwork should be compressed and downsampled, and if so, which method and settings to
use.
Marks and Bleeds Specifies printer’s marks and the bleed and slug areas. Although the options are the same as in the
Print dialog box, the calculations are subtly different because a PDF is not output to a known page size.
Output Controls how colors and PDF/X output intent profiles are saved in the PDF file.
Advanced Controls how fonts, OPI specifications, transparency flattening, and JDF instructions are saved in the PDF
file.
