PDF Page Setup
It is important to setup up PDF page properties before you create a PDF. The default PDF paper size is A4, however, sometimes you are required to generate Letter size, Legal size, A3 size, A5 size PDF document, so you should set the correct paper size. You can even define custom paper size and adjust paper orientation for your PDF documents. Paper Size: Define the actual paper size. You may also define custom paper size. Unit: The unit of measurement, including inches, millimeters and points. Orientation/Order: Portrait or Landscape. Resolution: the dpi (dot per inch) level. Scaling: how PDF document is scaled. Compress Graphics in PDF: AcroPDF provides several image compression algorithms to compress all images/pictures that are to be included in PDF files. Image compression make it possible to reduce the actual size of the output PDF files greatly. Convert bitmap images to EPS format first: EPS format will enhance the quality of images in PDF document greatly. Therefore, if bitmap images in the original document could be converted into EPS format, and then inserted into PDF document, you will get a better PDF. Defined Paper Size: Letter 215.9"x279.4" Other Paper Size can be defined in such measuring units as inch, millimeter or point in "Custom Paper Size" |
Fonts Embedding
Fonts embedding is required for many purpose. If you want to create a PDF document that will be shown to your clients and you are not sure whether a certain font has been installed on your clients' computers, you should embed fonts into your PDF document. So that the document will be opened and shown on other computers keeping the format and fonts unchanged. Fonts Embedding is most useful for creating PDF files from documents with Eastern or Asian language characters presented. After the embedding, all blanks and question marks will disappear, and the correct characters will show up. Choose the fonts that you wish to embed into your generated PDF. Unicode, True type fonts are all supported. The left window shows all the fonts currently installed on your system. The right window shows the selected fonts that you wish to embed into generated PDF. If you just can't decide what fonts are necessary to be embedded into a PDF file, please enable the option "Automatically detect and send fonts to PDF document". For languages such as French, German, Italian, where accentuated letters are frequently used, you will to embed fonts such as "Arial Italino", "Timers New Roman Gras" etc. to make sure that your document will be generated and displayed correctly.
