Create print presets
A PDF can contain a set of print presets, a group of document-specific values that is used to set basic print options. By
creating a print preset for a document, you can avoid manually setting certain options in the Print dialog box each time
you print the document. It's best to define print settings for a PDF at the time that you create it, but print presets
provide a means to add basic print settings to a PDF at any time.
1 Choose File > Properties, and click the Advanced tab.
In the Print Dialog Presets section, set options and click OK.
2
The next time you open the Print dialog box, the values will be set to the print preset values. These settings are also
used when you print individual documents in a PDF Portfolio.
Note: To retain a print preset for a PDF, you must save the PDF after creating the print preset.
