Include Tagged Source Profiles Leaves device-dependent colors unchanged and preserves device-independent colors
as the nearest possible equivalent in PDF. This is a useful option for print shops that have calibrated all their devices,
used that information to specify color in the file, and are only outputting to those devices.
Include All RGB And Tagged Source CMYK Profiles Includes any profiles for tagged RGB objects and tagged CMYK
objects, such as placed objects with embedded profiles. This option also includes the Document RGB profile for
untagged RGB objects.
Include Destination Profile Assigns the destination profile to all objects. If Convert To Destination (Preserve Color
Numbers) is selected, untagged objects in the same color space are assigned the destination profile so that color
numbers don’t change.
Simulate Overprint Simulates the appearance of printing separations by maintaining the appearance of overprinting in
composite output. When Simulate Overprint is unselected, Overprint Preview must be selected in Acrobat to see the
effects of overlapping colors. When Simulate Overprint is selected, spot colors are changed to their process equivalents,
and overlapping colors display and output correctly, without Overprint Preview selected in Acrobat. With Simulate
Overprint on, and Compatibility (in the General area of the dialog box) set to Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3), you can soft-proof
your document’s colors directly on the monitor before they are reproduced on a particular output device.
Ink Manager Controls whether spot colors are converted to process equivalents and specifies other ink settings. If you
make changes to your document using the Ink Manager (for example, if you change all spot colors to their process
equivalents), those changes will be reflected in the exported file and in the saved document, but the settings won’t be
saved with the Adobe PDF preset.
Output Intent Profile Name Specifies the characterized printing condition for the document. An output intent profile
is required for creating PDF/X-compliant files. This menu is only available if a PDF/X standard (or preset) is selected
in the General area of the Export Adobe PDF dialog box. The available options depend on whether color management
is on or off. For example, if color management is off, the menu lists only output profiles that match the destination
profile’s color space. If color management is on, the output intent profile is the same profile selected for Destination
(provided it is a CMYK output device).
Output Condition Name Describes the intended printing condition. This entry can be useful for the intended receiver
of the PDF document.
Output Condition Identifier Indicates a pointer to more information on the intended printing condition. The identifier
is automatically entered for printing conditions that are included in the ICC registry. This option is not available when
using either of the PDF/X-3 presets or standards, because the file would fail compliance when inspected by the Preflight
feature in Acrobat 7.0 Professional and later, or the Enfocus PitStop application (which is a plug-in for Acrobat 6.0).
Registry Name Indicates the web address for more information on the registry. The URL is automatically entered for
ICC registry names. This option is not available when using either of the PDF/X-3 presets or standards, because the file
would fail compliance when inspected by the Preflight feature in Acrobat 7.0 Professional and later, or the Enfocus
PitStop application (which is a plug-in for Acrobat 6.0).
Font, OPI, and flattening options for PDFs
You can set the following options in the Advanced area of the Export Adobe PDF dialog box.
Subset Fonts When Percent Of Characters Used Is Less Than Sets the threshold for embedding complete fonts based on
how many of the font’s characters are used in the document. If the percentage of characters used in the document for
any given font is exceeded, then that specific font is completely embedded. Otherwise, the font is subsetted. Embedding
complete fonts increases file size, but if you want to make sure you completely embed all fonts, enter 0 (zero). You can
also set a threshold in the General Preferences dialog box to trigger font subsetting based on the number of glyphs a
font contains.
