Create a flattener preset
You can save transparency flattener presets in a separate file. Using a separate file makes it easy to back them up or to
make them available to service providers, clients, or others in your workgroup. Once you create a custom flattener
preset, you can edit it in PDF Optimizer.
Flattener presets are stored in the same location as printer settings files:
(Windows XP) \Documents and Settings\[current user]\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\Preferences
(Windows Vista®/Windows 7) \Users\[current user]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\Preferences
(Mac OS) Users/[current user]/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Acrobat/10.0
Note: Flattener presets created in Acrobat have a different file format from the presets created in other Adobe applications,
so you cannot share them between applications.
1 Choose To o ls > Print Production > Flattener Preview.
2 To base a preset on an existing one, select it from the Preset menu.
3 Set flattening options.
4 If necessary, click Reset to return to the default settings.
5 Click Save.
6 Type a name and click OK.
Note: To delete a custom preset, choose it from the Preset menu and press Delete. Low, Medium, and High settings are built-
in and can’t be deleted.
