USING ACROBAT X STANDARD
Creating PDFs
Last updated 10/11/2011
• (Windows only) Right-click the PDF file icon and choose Properties. Click the PDF tab and look near the bottom
of the panel for the Fast Web View setting (Yes or No).
Verify the Fast Web View Preferences setting
Follow this procedure to make sure that you have Acrobat set up to enable Fast Web View during the PDF creation
process.
1 In the Preferences dialog box under Categories, select Documents.
2 On the right side of the dialog box, under Save Settings, make sure that Save As Optimizes For Fast Web View is
selected, and click OK.
Enable Fast Web View for an existing PDF
Use this procedure after you have verified your Fast Web View Preferences setting and checked the PDF properties to
be sure that the file is not already enabled for Fast Web View.
1 Open the PDF.
2 Choose File > Save As. Select the same filename and location.
3 When a message appears asking if you want to overwrite the existing file, click OK.
Scan documents to PDF
Scan a paper document to PDF
You can create a PDF file directly from a paper document, using your scanner and Acrobat. On Windows, Acrobat
supports TWAIN scanner drivers and Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) drivers.
In Windows, you can either use the Autodetect color mode and let Acrobat determine the paper document’s content
type, or use other presets (Black & White Document, Grayscale Document, Color Image, and Color Document) based
on your judgement. You can configure the scanning presets or use the Custom Scan option to scan with the settings
of your choice.
Note: Preset scanning is available only for scanner drivers that support Hide Scanner’s Native Interface mode. The
scanning presets are not available on Mac OS.
In Windows, if a WIA driver is installed for your scanner, you can use the Scan button on your scanner to create a
PDF. Press the Scan button, and then in Windows, choose Adobe Acrobat from the list of registered applications.
Then, in the Acrobat Scan dialog box, select a scanner and a document preset or Custom Scan.
After you scan a document to PDF, you can apply security settings using one of the security or batch processing
methods in Acrobat, or using JavaScript. For more information see the documents at
learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/security/Document+Library.
