Publishing a PDF file<br />
Printing and Exporting 191<br />
PDF (Portable Document Format) is a cross-platform file format developed by<br />
Adobe. In a relatively short time, PDF has evolved into a worldwide standard for<br />
document distribution which works equally well for electronic or paper publishing.<br />
PDF documents are uniformly supported in the Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX®<br />
environments. Anyone with the free Adobe Reader can view or print out PDF files,<br />
either from within a Web browser window or directly—for example, when<br />
delivered over a network or on CD-ROM. PDF documents are compact—one-fifth<br />
the size of comparable HTML files—for faster transmission.<br />
PDF works well as a medium for distributing standalone files. By letting people<br />
download an online PDF file, you can save yourself the trouble and expense of<br />
printing multiple copies! PDF is also used extensively for delivering files to<br />
professional printers. In recent years, print shops are moving toward the newer<br />
PDF/X formats—more reliable than PostScript and expressly targeted for graphic<br />
arts and high quality reproduction. Several different "flavours" of PDF/X exist;<br />
<strong>PhotoPlus</strong> supports PDF/X-1 and PDF/X-1a.<br />
To export a <strong>PhotoPlus</strong> picture as a PDF:<br />
1. Choose Publish as PDF... from the File menu to display the Publish PDF<br />
dialog.
