Convert To Destination (Preserve Numbers) Preserves color numbers for untagged content in the same color space as
the destination profile (by assigning the destination profile, not converting to it). All other content is converted to the
destination space. This option is not available if color management is turned off. Whether the profile is included or not
is determined by the Profile Inclusion Policy.
Convert To Destination Converts all colors to the profile selected for Destination. Whether the profile is included or
not is determined by the Profile Inclusion Policy.
note: When Convert to Destination is selected, and the Destination doesn’t match the document profile, a warning icon
appears beside the option.
Destination Describes the gamut of the final RGB or CMYK output device, such as your monitor or a SWOP standard.
Using this profile, Illustrator 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.
Profile Inclusion Policy Determines whether a color profile is included in the file.
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 Save 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 available printer profiles. If color management is on, the menu lists
the same profile selected for Destination Profile (provided it is a CMYK output device), in addition to other predefined
printer profiles.
Output Condition Name Describes the intended printing condition. This entry can be useful for the intended receiver
of the PDF document.
Output Condition Identifier 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.
Registry Name Indicates the web address for more information on the registry. The URL is automatically entered for
ICC registry names.
Mark as Trapped Indicates the state of trapping in the document. PDF/X compliance requires a value of True (selected)
or False (deselected). Any document that doesn’t meet the requirement will fail PDF/X compliance checking.
Font and flattening options for PDF
You can set the following options in the Advanced section of the Save Adobe PDF dialog box:
Subset Embedded Fonts When Percent Of Characters Used Is Less Than Specifies when to embed the entire font (as
opposed to just the characters used in the document) based on how many of the font’s characters are used in the
document. For instance, if a font contains 1,000 characters but the document only uses 10 of those characters, you may
decide that embedding the font is not worth the extra file size.
Overprints Specifies how to save overlapping colors that are set to overprint. You can choose to preserve the
overprinting or discard the overprinting. If Compatibility (at the top of the dialog box) is set to Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3),
you can also choose to simulate overprinting by flattening the artwork.
Preset If Compatibility (at the top of the dialog box) is set to Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) and the artwork contains
transparency, you can specify a preset (or set of options) for flattening transparency. Alternately, click Custom to
customize the flattener settings.
Note: Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4), Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5), and Acrobat 7 (PDF 1.6) automatically preserve transparency in artwork.
As a result, the Preset and Custom options are not available for these levels of compatibility.
