2 Do one of the following:
• To create a new preset, click New. If you want to base the new preset on an existing preset, select the preset first.
Set PDF options, and click OK. (See Adobe PDF presets .)
• To edit an existing custom preset, select the preset and click Edit. (You cannot edit the default presets.) Set PDF
options, and click OK.
• To delete a preset, select it and click Delete.
• To save a preset in a location other than the default Settings folder in the Adobe PDF folder, select it and click
Save As. Specify a location and click Save.
Alternatively, you can create a custom preset when you save a PDF file by clicking Save Preset at the bottom of the
Export Adobe PDF dialog box. Enter a name for the preset and click OK.
Load Adobe PDF presets
New PDF presets (.joboptions files) that you create are stored in the Settings folder in the following locations:
Windows XP Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF
Windows Vista and Windows 7 Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF
Mac OS User/[username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF
These presets automatically appear in the Adobe PDF Presets menu.
Supplementary InDesign PDF presets are installed in the system’s Adobe PDF\Extras folder. Use your system search
utility to locate additional .joboptions files. You may also receive custom PDF presets from service providers and
colleagues. For these presets to be listed in the Adobe PDF Presets menu, they must be moved to the Settings folder
either manually or by using the Load command.
Load PDF presets
The Load command is useful if you want to load PDF presets that someone sent you, or to load PDF presets from
InDesign CS2.
1 Choose File > Adobe PDF Presets > Define.
2 Click Load and select the .joboptions file you want to load.
The .joboptions file is copied to the Settings folder where new PDF presets are stored.
To make a .joboptions file available in the Adobe PDF Presets menu, you can also drag it to the Settings folder where
your PDF presets are stored.
Convert PDF presets from InDesign CS
InDesign CS and earlier export PDF presets with .pdfs extensions, while InDesign CS2 and later export PDF presets
with .joboptions extensions. Importing a PDFS file converts it to a .joboptions file, and overrides settings as necessary.
For example, if Monitor RGB was selected as the destination profile in the Output area in InDesign CS, it is
automatically changed to Document RGB in InDesign CS4.
1 Choose File > Adobe PDF Presets > Define.
2 Click Load.
3 Choose Previous-version PDF Settings Files (.pdfs) from the Files Of Type menu (Windows) or All Files from the
Enable menu (Macintosh).
4 Double-click the file you want to convert.
