2. Set basic output options on the dialog’s General tab (shown).
• Checking Fit to complete page or Fit to page width to set the default page
view when the PDF is opened in Acrobat Reader.
• Checking Preview PDF file in Acrobat automatically opens the PDF in
Acrobat after it’s been created, so you can review it immediately. (If anything
looks amiss, you’ll need to fix the problems in the file and regenerate the PDF.)
• If handing off a file to a professional printer, choose either "PDF X/1" or
"PDF X/1a" in the Compatibility list as advised by your print partner
(otherwise just use an Acrobat X.0 option, where X is the version number).
• In the Colour Management section, the Output colour space setting should
always be "CMYK" for professional printing; otherwise "RGB" is fine. Select
the Destination profile recommended by your print partner.
• The Prepress Marks section lets you include printer marks in your PDF
output (check an option to switch on). Use for professional printing.
3. Set security options (if any) on the Security tab.
• You can add password protection to keep the contents of your document
away from unintended eyes, and/or lock certain capabilities to prevent
unauthorized dissemination or changes. For example, you can specify No
document printing to prevent paper reproduction of the publication’s
contents, or No content copying to help ensure your work can’t be easily
duplicated somewhere else. You can even enter a master password to give
you—and only you—the right to alter these security settings. (Just be sure to
remember your password!)
