202 Printing and Exporting
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 automatically opens the PDF in a
compatible PDF viewer 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 Color Management section, the Output color 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!)
4. Click OK.
