Adobe Distiller

PDF export settings

Convert the PostScript file you created earlier to PDF in Acrobat Distiller using the settings below.

1. 01

   Acrobat Distiller — application window

   Choose the factory "Press Quality" setting.

   
2. 02

   Acrobat Distiller — application window

   In the "Settings" menu, click "Edit Adobe PDF Settings".

   
3. 03

   General

   Set "Compatibility" to "Acrobat 4.0 (PDF 1.3)".

   
4. 04

   Pictures

   Set the part marked in red to 2400.

   
5. 05

   Fonts

   Set the parts marked in red to match the screenshot; with these settings Distiller embeds every font used into the PDF, and if it can’t, it stops writing the PDF. If that happens, try converting the text set in that typeface to curves/outlines, or try manually adding the problem font to the "Always Embed" list.

   Color

   Set "Color Management Policies" to "Leave Color Unchanged".
