Font Location Choose Embed Fonts or Link Fonts from the Font Location menu.
Embedding fonts increases file size but ensures that the fonts will always be available
(for example, if you distribute the SVG file via email). Linking fonts from an external
location makes sense if you have several SVG files that share the same fonts.
Image Location Choose Embed Images or Link Images from the Image Location menu.
Embedding images increases file size but ensures that rasterized images will always be
available.
CSS Properties Determines how style attributes are saved in the SVG code. The default
method, Presentation Attributes, applies properties at the highest point in the hierarchy,
which allow the most flexibility for specific edits and transformations. The Style Attributes
method creates the most readable files but may increase the file size. Choose this method
if the SVG code will be used in transformations—for example, transformations using
Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT). The Entity References method
results in faster rendering times and reduced SVG file size. The Style Element method is
used when sharing files with HTML documents. By selecting Style Element, you can then
modify the SVG file to move a style element into an external stylesheet file that is also
referenced by the HTML file—however, the Style Element option also results in slower
rendering speeds.
Encoding Choose a method from the Encoding menu to determine how characters are
encoded in the SVG file. UTF (Unicode Transformation Format) encoding is supported by
all XML processors. (UTF-8 is an 8-bit format; UTF-16 is a 16-bit format.) ISO 8859-1 and
UTF-16 encoding do not preserve file metadata. (See
page 46.)
Saving and resetting optimization settings
After you optimize an image, you can return to the artboard without losing your settings.
When you choose the Save for Web command again, the optimization settings are just as
you left them.
You can also save optimization settings as a named set and apply the settings to other
images. Settings that you save appear in the Settings pop-up menu of the Save for Web
dialog box, together with the Illustrator predefined named settings. If you edit a named
set or a predefined set, the Settings menu displays the term "Unnamed."
To save the current optimization setting:
Do one of the following:
To save the settings and close the Save for Web dialog box, click Done.
•
To save the settings without closing the Save for Web dialog box, press Alt (Windows) or
•
Options (Mac OS), and click Remember.
To reset optimization settings to the last saved version:
Press Alt (Windows) or Options (Mac OS), and click Reset.
To save a named set of optimization settings:
1 With desired settings selected in the Settings panel of the Save for Web dialog box,
choose Save Settings from the Settings panel menu.
