Acrobat 5: Generates a file using the PDF 1.4 standard. Choose this option to store native (live) transparency in a PDF file. Acrobat 6: Generates a file using the PDF 1.5 standard. Choose this option to store live transparency in a PDF file and translate InDesign layers to PDF layers. Before selecting this option, verify that any downstream workflow that may be involved (such as RIPs and 102 prepress applications) support PDF 1.5. The Standard pop-up menu includes the following options: PDF/X-1a: An ISO standard specification that requires PDF 1.3 (Acrobat 4) compatibility, a CMYK output color space, and no omitted OPI content. PDF/X-3: Similar to PDF/X-1a except that it also allows RGB and color-managed workflows, and doesn't allow security settings. Note: PDF/X-1a and PDF/X-3 can be selected both as a preset and in the Standard pop-up menu. Selecting them in the Standard pop-up menu doesn't change options in the rest of the dialog box like the preset would, but with some dialog box options you will be limited to settings that comply with the standard you selected. The following options are also available in the Options section: Embed Page Thumbnails: Creates a thumbnail image for each page being exported, or one thumbnail for each spread if the Spreads option is selected in the General panel. Acrobat 5 and 6 automatically generate page thumbnails, so this option is most useful for Acrobat 4, where deselecting this option can reduce the file size. Optimize for Fast Web View: Optimizes an Adobe PDF file to reduce file size. InDesign restructures the file to prepare for page-at-a-time downloading (byte serving) from Web servers. This option compresses text and line art regardless of what you have selected in the Compression settings. This makes for faster access and viewing when downloading the file from the Web or a network. View PDF After Exporting: Opens the Adobe PDF file in Acrobat. For best results, use Acrobat 5 or Acrobat 6 Professional. Transparency can be viewed in Acrobat 5 or Acrobat 6 Professional using this format. The Overprint Preview command shows on-screen how overprinting will appear. Create Acrobat Layers: Translates InDesign layers to PDF layers. This option is available only if you selected Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5) from the Compatibility pop-up menu. When selected, printer marks are placed on a new layer called Printer Marks. Note that PDF layers are generally intended to control display of multiple content sets, not simply to organize objects. You may not want to select this option unless you're using InDesign to create content that takes advantage of PDF layer capabilities.

Acrobat 5:
Generates a file using the PDF 1.4 standard. Choose this option to store native
(live) transparency in a PDF file.
Acrobat 6:
Generates a file using the PDF 1.5 standard. Choose this option to store live
transparency in a PDF file and translate InDesign layers to PDF layers. Before selecting
this option, verify that any downstream workflow that may be involved (such as RIPs and
prepress applications) support PDF 1.5.
The Standard pop-up menu includes the following options:
PDF/X-1a:
An ISO standard specification that requires PDF 1.3 (Acrobat 4) compatibility, a
CMYK output color space, and no omitted OPI content.
PDF/X-3:
Similar to PDF/X-1a except that it also allows RGB and color-managed workflows,
and doesn’t allow security settings.
Note:
PDF/X-1a and PDF/X-3 can be selected both as a preset and in the Standard pop-up
menu. Selecting them in the Standard pop-up menu doesn’t change options in the rest of
the dialog box like the preset would, but with some dialog box options you will be limited to
settings that comply with the standard you selected.
The following options are also available in the Options section:
Embed Page Thumbnails:
Creates a thumbnail image for each page being exported, or one
thumbnail for each spread if the Spreads option is selected in the General panel. Acrobat 5
and 6 automatically generate page thumbnails, so this option is most useful for Acrobat 4,
where deselecting this option can reduce the file size.
Optimize for Fast Web View:
Optimizes an Adobe PDF file to reduce file size. InDesign
restructures the file to prepare for page-at-a-time downloading (byte serving) from Web
servers. This option compresses text and line art regardless of what you have selected in the
Compression settings. This makes for faster access and viewing when downloading the file
from the Web or a network.
View PDF After Exporting:
Opens the Adobe PDF file in Acrobat. For best results, use
Acrobat 5 or Acrobat 6 Professional. Transparency can be viewed in Acrobat 5 or Acrobat
6 Professional using this format. The Overprint Preview command shows on-screen how
overprinting will appear.
Create Acrobat Layers:
Translates InDesign layers to PDF layers. This option is available
only if you selected Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5) from the Compatibility pop-up menu. When
selected, printer marks are placed on a new layer called Printer Marks. Note that PDF layers
are generally intended to control display of multiple content sets, not simply to organize
objects. You may not want to select this option unless you’re using InDesign to create content
that takes advantage of PDF layer capabilities.
