Save these settings<br />

as default<br />

Exporting as PDF<br />

Select this option if you wish to save these settings as the default for all<br />

subsequent SWF files.<br />

You can export <strong>Canvas</strong> documents to the Portable Document File (PDF) format. <strong>Canvas</strong> has the ability<br />

to apply security settings and embed fonts, and halftone settings. A specific color mode is also<br />

available so that it may be applied to all PDF objects. Also, the whole file can be compressed by the<br />

PDF export filter.<br />

To export to PDF:<br />

1. Choose File | Save As.<br />

2. Select PDF - Acrobat files as the format.<br />

3. Enter a name for the file and click Save.<br />

4. In the PDF Options dialog box, select the PDF options.<br />

PDF Options dialog box<br />

General options Compress text and vectors: All vector graphics, including a stream of<br />

text data, is compressed when this option is activated.<br />

Apply 7-bit ASCII encoding: If activated, all binary data is filtered<br />

through an ASCII filter, which converts a file so it can pass through a<br />

data channel that supports 7-bit data only (e.g., e-mail servers). ASCII<br />

encoding increases data size to an approximate ratio of 5 to 4.<br />

Add security features: Select this check box and the Security Options<br />

dialog box opens. To adjust security settings, click the Settings button<br />

(see "Security settings" on page 724).<br />

Exact character positioning: Each character of a text object is<br />

positioned individually to achieve maximal precision. This choice<br />

produces a little larger PDF file; however, if precise text layout is<br />

required, this option is correct. If this option is deselected, the PDF<br />

export filter tries to merge together as many characters as possible to<br />

form whole words and lines of text. This way, it is easier to work with<br />

text if the user decides to modify the PDF file later when imported back in<br />

<strong>Canvas</strong>.

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
