USING ACROBAT 9 PRO 106 Creating PDFs Note: PDFMaker, the conversion method used to convert Microsoft Word and other application files to PDF, does not create PDF/X-compliant files. PDF/A-compliant Complies with the PDF/A standard for archival documents. Note: If you set up a watched folder for creating PDF/A-compliant files, do not add security to the folder. The PDF/A standard does not allow encryption. Compliance Standard Produces a report that indicates whether the file complies with the standard you select, and if not, what problems were encountered. The .log file appears at the bottom of the dialog box. Note: PDFs that complied with both PDF/X-1a and PDF/X-3 standards in Acrobat 6.0 default to PDF/X-1a in Acrobat 9. When Not Compliant Specifies whether to create the PDF if the PostScript file does not comply with the requirements of the standard. • Continue Creates a PDF even if the PostScript file doesn't meet the PDF/X requirements and notes these problems in the report. • Cancel Job Creates a PDF only if the PostScript file meets the PDF/X requirements of the selected report options, and is otherwise valid. Report As Error Flags the PostScript file as noncompliant if one of the reporting options is selected and a trim box or art box is missing from any page. Set TrimBox To MediaBox With Offsets Computes values for the trim box based on the offsets for the media box of respective pages if neither the trim box nor art box is specified. The trim box is always as small as or smaller than the enclosing media box. Set BleedBox To MediaBox Uses the media box values for the bleed box if the bleed box is not specified. Set BleedBox To TrimBox With Offsets Computes values for the bleed box based on the offsets for the trim box of respective pages if the bleed box is not specified. The bleed box is always as large as or larger than the enclosed trim box. This option uses the units specified on the General panel of the Adobe PDF Settings dialog box. Output Intent Profile Name Indicates the characterized printing condition for which the document has been prepared, and is required for PDF/X compliance. If a document doesn't specify an output intent profile name, Distiller uses the selected value from this menu. If your workflow requires that the document specify the output intent, choose None. Output Condition Identifier Indicates the reference name that is specified by the registry of the output intent profile name. For more information, click the question mark next to the option. Output Condition Describes the intended printing condition. This entry can be useful for the intended receiver of the PDF. For more information, click the question mark next to the option. Registry Name (URL) Indicates the web address for finding more information about the output intent profile. The URL is automatically entered for ICC registry names. The registry name is optional, but recommended. For more information, click the question mark next to the option. Trapped Indicates the state of trapping in the document. PDF/X compliance requires a value of True or False. If the document does not specify the trapped state, the value provided here is used. If your workflow requires that the document specify the trapped state, choose Leave Undefined. PDF compatibility levels When you create PDFs, you decide which PDF version to use. You can change the PDF version by switching to a different preset or choosing a compatibility option when you save as PDF or edit a PDF preset. Last updated 9/30/2011
