Transparency Use the Render and Color mode options to decide how colors of a
transparent object are rendered (see "Transparency settings" on page
725).
Specify halftone
settings
Select halftone information to store inside the PDF. If no settings
specified, custom halftone information isn’t applied to a document. The
halftone setting of the output device isn’t used when printing your PDF
(see "Halftone settings" on page 725).
Save these settings
as default
If selected, the settings will be the default PDF settings.
Click the Default button to restore the default settings file.
Security settings
When exporting to PDF, you can set one password for opening the document and an additional
password for permissions and restrictions for various features such as printing and copying. These
passwords are independent of each other.
If you want to define a password to open the document, select the Require password to open
document check box and define the password.
Anyone who needs to open the PDF must have this password.
If you want to establish permissions for various options, select the other check box and define the
other password. Then select the check boxes for the options that the user is able to perform; i.e.,
printing, copying, extracting.
If an option is not selected, the user cannot perform this action.
Embedding font subsets
The creation of subsets means that only characters used in the document are embedded.
This setting ensures the safe electronic transfer of a document between different platforms,
machines, or offices; however, embedding the fonts could dramatically increase the size of the
resulting PDF document.
To view the other options, click the Settings button to open the Font embedding options dialog box.
