Exporting to Adobe Acrobat File Format (PDF)

The Adobe Acrobat File Format (PDF) export filter creates a PDF file. This filter provides basic
functionality. PDFs are best created with software designed to make them such as Adobe
Acrobat. PDF files made with Adobe Acrobat can include advanced options such as locking or
editing capabilities. If you choose to create a PDF using the OMEGA filter expect limited
capabilities.
In the Export dialog box, click the Options button to open the PDF Output Filter dialog box.
Choose from the following available options to modify export settings:
Color Translations
Choose the color format for export.
♦ Normal exports color without modification from the plot file.
♦ Inverse filters the colors and replaces them with the negative (or inverse) color value.
For example, if an object is filled with 0% cyan, 100% magenta, 25% yellow, and 25%
black, the inverted image will contain 100% cyan, 0% magenta, 75% yellow, and 75%
black.
♦ Inverse Grays Only filters gray scale colors and replaces them with the negative color
value. All other colors export without modification.
♦ Gray Scale filters the colors and replaces them with a shade of gray (from white to
black) that represents their luminosity.
♦ Inverse Gray Scale filters the colors and replaces them with a shade of gray (from
white to black) that represents the opposite luminosity.
Line Mode
♦ Device uses the line style and width that the display and printer are capable of
producing.
