Chapter 2: Documents and Setup
Opening PDF files
When opening PDF files, you can select your import options in the PDF & PS Import dialog box.
Default ColorSpace Select RGB or CMYK.
Embedded fonts Select either Substitute or Convert to paths.
Vector precision Select from one to three decimal points for precision.
Text merging Select an option for text tolerance.
Disabled: Select this option for no merging, even for text/letters
that are exactly next to each other
Precise: Select this option for a very small amount of tolerance, so
only letters next to each other will be merged
Tight: Select this option for a higher level of tolerance (spaces up
to approximately 2 points between letters will be ignored)
Loose: Select this option for the highest level of tolerance, meaning
“merge whenever it makes sense”)
Page selection Use this option to specify pages for import. The default is [all pages].
Other predefined values are [even pages] and [odd pages], which would
import only the even and odd pages, respectively. Other page selections
may be specified as a combination of numbers separated with commas;
e.g, 2, 5, 8, 13. Consecutive pages may be specified using two numbers
separated with a dash; e.g., 6-9. You can even use combinations like 1,
5 - 7, 9, which would import pages 1, 5, 6, 7, and 9. The combination 1,
2, 4, 6- would import pages 1, 2, 4, 6 and all subsequent pages.
Layers Select an option for importing PDF documents that contain layers.
Import layers if present: Select this option to import all visible
layers in the file. If deselected, all objects from a PDF file are
imported to one layer with a default name.
Import hidden layers: Select this option to also import hidden
layers and all objects that may be on those layers. This would work
even if the option above is turned off.
