Tile Size

Determines the size of the tiles for progressive display. This option is only available when Compatibility is set

to Acrobat 6 (1.5) and later, and Compression is set to JPEG 2000.

Compress Text And Line Art

Applies Flate compression (which is similar to ZIP compression for images) to all text and

line art in the document, without loss of detail or quality.

Crop Image Data To Frames

May reduce file size by exporting only image data that falls within the visible portion of the

frame. Do not select this option if postprocessors might require the additional information (for repositioning or
bleeding an image, for example).

Marks and Bleeds options for PDFs

Bleed is the amount of artwork that falls outside of the printing bounding box, or outside the crop marks and trim
marks. You can include bleed in your artwork as a margin of error, to ensure that the ink extends all the way to the edge
of the page after the page is trimmed or to ensure that a graphic can be stripped into a keyline in a document.

You can specify the extent of the bleed and add a variety of printer’s marks to the file.

Color management and PDF/X output options for PDFs

You can set the following options in the Output area of the Export Adobe PDF dialog box. Interactions between Output
options change depending on whether color management is on or off, whether the document is tagged with color
profiles, and which PDF standard is selected.

Note: For quick definitions of the options in the Output area, position the pointer over an option and read the Description
text box at the bottom of the dialog box.

Color Conversion

Specifies how to represent color information in the Adobe PDF file. All spot color information is

preserved during color conversion; only the process color equivalents convert to the designated color space.

No Color Conversion

Preserves color data as is. This is the default when PDF/X-3 is selected.

Convert to Destination

Converts all colors to the profile selected for Destination. Whether the profile is included or

not is determined by the Profile Inclusion Policy.

Convert to Destination (Preserve Numbers)

Converts colors to the destination profile space only if they have

embedded profiles that differ from the destination profile (or if they are RGB colors, and the destination profile is
CMYK, or vice versa). Untagged color objects (those without embedded profiles) and native objects (such as line art or
type) are not converted. This option is not available if color management is off. Whether the profile is included or not
is determined by the Profile Inclusion Policy.

Destination

Describes the gamut of the final RGB or CMYK output device, such as your monitor or a SWOP standard.

Using this profile, InDesign converts the document’s color information (defined by the source profile in the Working
Spaces section of the Color Settings dialog box) to the color space of the target output device.

Profile Inclusion Policy

Determines whether a color profile is included in the file. The options vary, depending on the

setting in the Color Conversion menu, whether one of the PDF/X standards is selected, and whether color management
is on or off.

Don’t Include Profiles

Does not create a color-managed document with embedded color profiles.

Include All Profiles

Creates a color-managed document. If the application or output device that uses the Adobe PDF

file needs to translate colors into another color space, it uses the embedded color space in the profile. Before you select
this option, turn on color management and set up profile information.
