Compressed

Creates a Compressed SVG (SVGZ) file.

SVG Profiles

Specifies the SVG XML Document Type Definition for the exported file.

•

SVG 1.0 and SVG 1.1

Suitable for SVG files to be viewed on a desktop computer. SVG 1.1 is the full version of the

SVG specification, of which SVG Tiny 1.1, SVG Tiny 1.1 Plus, SVG Tiny 1.2, and SVG Basic 1.1 are subsets.

•

SVG Basic 1.1

Suitable for SVG files to be viewed on medium powered devices, such as handhelds. Keep in mind

that not all handhelds support the SVG Basic profile. As a result, selecting this option doesn’t guarantee that the SVG
file will be viewable on all handhelds. SVG Basic doesn’t support nonrectangular clipping and some SVG filter effects.

•

SVG Tiny 1.1 and SVG Tiny 1.1+

Suitable for SVG files to be viewed on small devices, such as mobile phones. Keep

in mind that not all mobile phones support the SVG Tiny and SVG Tiny Plus profiles. As a result, selecting either of
these options doesn’t guarantee that the SVG file will be viewable on all small devices.

•

SVG Tiny 1.2

Suitable for SVG files to be viewed on a variety of devices ranging from PDAs and cellphones to

laptops and desktop computers.

SVG Tiny doesn’t support gradients, transparency, clipping, masks, symbols, or SVG filter effects. SVG Tiny Plus
includes the ability to display gradients and transparency, but it doesn’t support clipping, masks, symbols, or SVG filter
effects.

For additional information on SVG profiles, see the SVG specification on the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
website (

www.w3.org

Decimals

Determines the precision of vector data in the SVG file. You can set a value of 1 to 7 decimal places. A high

value results in a larger file size and increased image quality.

Font Subsetting

Controls which glyphs are embedded from the SVG file. Select None from the Subsetting menu if you

can rely on the necessary fonts being installed on end-user systems. Select Only Glyphs Used to only include glyphs
for text that exists in the current artwork. The other values (Common English, Common English + Glyphs Used,
Common Roman, Common Roman + Glyphs Used, All Glyphs) are useful when the textual content of the SVG file is
dynamic (such as server-generated text or user-interactive text).

Font Type

Specifies how fonts are exported.

•

Adobe CEF

Uses font hinting for better rendering of small fonts. This font type is supported by the Adobe SVG

Viewer but may not be supported by other SVG viewers.

•

SVG

Doesn’t use font hinting. This font type is supported by all SVG viewers.

•

Convert To Outlines

Converts type to vector paths. Use this option to preserve the visual appearance of type in all

SVG Viewers.

Image Location

Specifies whether to embed or link to images. Embedding images increases file size but ensures that

rasterized images are always available.
