Preserve Appearance

Expands strokes into stroke-shaped fills and flattens any blending modes and transparency

that SWF doesn’t support.

Preserve Editability Where Possible

Converts strokes to SWF strokes, and approximates or ignores transparency

that SWF doesn’t support.

Note: SWF supports object-level opacity only.

Use the Export command instead of the Save For Web & Devices command to maintain artwork’s stacking order by
exporting each layer to a separate SWF file. You can then import the exported SWF files into Adobe Flash simulta-

neously.

Compressed

Compresses the exported file.

Protect File

Protects the file so that it cannot be imported by applications other than Flash.

Text As Outlines

Converts all text to outlines to maintain appearance. If you plan to edit the text in Flash, don’t select

this option.

SVG optimization options (Illustrator)

SVG is a vector format that describes images as shapes, paths, text, and filter effects. The resulting files are compact
and provide high-quality graphics on the web, in print, and even on resource-constrained handheld devices.

Optimization settings for SVG

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, 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.
