About print production tools
Adobe Acrobat adds sophisticated print production tools that enable a complete PDF
workflow for high-resolution color output. The print production tools are located in the
Tools menu, the Document menu, and on the Print Production toolbar. The Ink Manager
and Transparency Flattening are also located in the Advanced Print Setup dialog box.

Trap Presets
Allows you to create and apply trap settings for later execution by an Adobe PostScript 3
RIP that licenses Adobe In-RIP Trapping. (See
options.)
Output Preview
Combines separation preview, soft proofing, color warnings, the full Ink Manager, and
more in one convenient dialog box. (See
Preflight
Allows you to perform more than 400 predefined checks for all the common output errors
that can come with a designer's file. Preflight also includes checking for PDF/X
compliance, password protection of preflight profiles, PostScript level compatibility, and
many other options. (See
Convert Colors
Converts RGB, CMYK, and Grayscale color spaces to the target color space, which is
always CMYK. Convert Colors also allows you to embed Adobe PDF documents with
ICC profiles. (See
Ink Manager
The Ink Manager modifies the way inks are treated while the current PDF document is
open. The Acrobat Ink Manager uses the same options and controls as in other Adobe
applications. (See
Add Printer Marks
Adds standard printer marks to a PDF page for positioning. These marks are applied as
content, rather than annotations, as they were in Acrobat 6.0. (See
marks.)
Crop Pages
Allows you to define the crop, trim, bleed, art, and media boxes on a page. This is
important for proper page positioning and placement of printer marks, especially for
imposition. (See
Fix Hairlines
Finds hairlines and replaces them with heavier weight lines. (See
Transparency Flattening
Provides flattener settings to control the amount of rasterization that occurs during print
output or export to certain file formats, such as EPS. This tool also includes a preview for
a visual inspection of the objects that have transparency applied and of the effects your
settings will have on those objects. (See
PDF Optimizer
Provides many settings for inspecting, analyzing, and repairing documents, as well as
reducing the size of your PDF files. (See
JDF Job Definitions
Allows you to create custom job definitions that can be edited and used in a production
environment. The JDF file may also include information necessary for the creation of
Adobe PDF files appropriate for the production process, including PDF conversion
settings and preflight profiles. (See
