General options for PDFs
Click the General category in the Export Adobe PDF dialog box to set the following options:
Description Displays the description from the selected preset, and provides a place for you to edit the description.
You can paste a description from the Clipboard.
All Exports all pages in the current document or book.
Range Specifies the range of pages to export in the current document. You can type a range by using a hyphen, and
separate multiple pages or ranges by using commas. This option is unavailable when you’re exporting books or
creating presets.
Spreads Exports pages together as if they were printed on the same sheet.
Important: Do not select Spreads for commercial printing; if you do, the service provider cannot impose the pages.
Embed Page Thumbnails Creates a thumbnail preview for each page being exported, or one thumbnail for each
spread if the Spreads option is selected. The thumbnail is displayed in the InDesign Open or Place dialog boxes.
Adding thumbnails increases the PDF file size.
Optimize For Fast Web View Reduces PDF file size, and optimizes the PDF file for faster viewing in a web browser
by restructuring the file for page-at-a-time downloading (byte serving). This option compresses text and line art,
regardless of the settings you have selected in the Compression category of the Export Adobe PDF dialog box.
Create Tagged PDF During export, automatically tags elements in the story based on a subset of the Acrobat tags
that InDesign supports. This includes recognition of paragraphs, basic text formatting, lists, and tables. (You can also
insert and adjust tags in the document before exporting to PDF. See “Adding structure to PDFs” on page 489.)
