removed to reduce file size, so image quality is not affected.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Preserves color data as is. This is the default when PDF/X-3 is selected.
Converts all colors to the profile selected for Destination. Whether the profile is included or not is determined by
the Profile Inclusion Policy.
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.
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.
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.
Does not create a color-managed document with embedded color 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.
