You can check the Distiller job options by opening Distiller. In Windows, you can also
select Printers from the Control Panel and check the Properties, Printing Preferences, or
Document Defaults of the Acrobat Distiller printer, depending on your platform.
To reset job options
In the Acrobat Distiller dialog box, choose an existing set of job options from the Job
Options menu. (Alternatively, you can edit one of the predefined sets of job options and
save it under a different name, or you can create your own set of job options from scratch.)
Acrobat Distiller has the following sets of predefined job options:
eBook job options for PDF files that will be read primarily on-screen—on desktop or
•
laptop computers or eBook Readers, for example.This set of options balances file size
against image resolution to produce a relatively small self-contained file. All color
spaces are converted to sRGB; color and grayscale images are downsampled at 150 dpi,
monochrome images at 300 dpi; subsets of all fonts used in the file (except the Base 14)
are embedded; and all information is compressed. PDF files created using the eBook
job options are compatible with Acrobat 4.0 (and later).
Screen job options for PDF files that will be displayed on the World Wide Web or an
•
intranet, or that will be distributed through an e-mail system for on-screen viewing.This
set of options uses compression, downsampling, and a relatively low resolution;
converts all colors to CalRGB, CalGray, or Lab; maintains compatibility with Acrobat 3.0;
and embeds subsets of all fonts used in the file except the Base 14 fonts (which are not
embedded), for example, to create a PDF file that is as small as possible. It also
optimizes files for byte serving.
Note: The CJKScreen job options are the same as the Screen job option except that the
compatibility setting is Acrobat 4.0 (or later) and the Auto-Rotate Pages option is different.
The CJK job options file is available only if you use the CJK installer.
Print job options for PDF files that are intended for desktop printers, digital copiers,
•
publishing on a CD-ROM, or to send to a client as a publishing proof. In this set of
options, file size is still important, but it is not the only objective.This set of options uses
compression and downsampling to keep the file size down, but it also embeds subsets
of all fonts used in the file, tags everything for color management, and prints to a
medium resolution to create a reasonably accurate rendition of the original document.
Press job options for PDF files that will be printed as high-quality final output to an
•
imagesetter or platesetter, for example. In this case, file size is not a consideration.The
objective is to maintain all the information in a PDF file that a commercial printer or
service bureau will need to print the document correctly.This set of options
downsamples color and grayscale images at 300 dpi, monochrome images at 1200 dpi,
embeds subsets of all fonts used in the file, prints to a higher resolution, and uses other
settings to preserve the maximum amount of information about the original
document.
Note: Before creating an Adobe PDF file to send to a commercial printer or a service
bureau, check with the provider to find out what the output resolution and other settings
should be, or ask them to provide a .joboptions file containing their recommended
settings. You may need to customize the job options for a particular provider and then
provide them with a .joboptions file of your own.
