Options
Embed Page Thumbnails Embeds a thumbnail preview for each page in the PDF, increasing the file size. Deselect this
setting when users of Acrobat 5.0 and later will view and print the PDF; these versions generate thumbnails dynamically
each time you click the Pages panel of a PDF.
Optimize For Fast Web View Reduces PDF file size, and optimizes the PDF file for faster viewing in a web browser by
restructuring the file for page-at-a-time downloading (byte serving). This option compresses text and line art,
regardless of the settings you have selected in the Compression category of the Export Adobe PDF dialog box.
Create Tagged PDF During export, automatically tags elements in the story based on a subset of the Acrobat tags that
InDesign supports. This includes recognition of paragraphs, basic text formatting, lists, and tables. (You can also insert
and adjust tags in the document before exporting to PDF. See
Adding structure to PDFs.)
Note: If Compatibility is set to Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5) or later, tags are compressed for smaller file size. If the PDF is then
opened in Acrobat 4.0 or Acrobat 5.0, the tags will not be visible because those versions of Acrobat cannot decompress
tags.
View PDF After Exporting Opens the newly-created PDF file in the default PDF viewing application.
Create Acrobat Layers Saves each InDesign layer as an Acrobat layer within the PDF. Also exports any printer’s marks
you’ve included to a separate marks and bleeds layer. The layers are fully navigable, which allows users of Acrobat 6.0
and later to generate multiple versions of the file from a single PDF. For example, if a document will be published in
multiple languages, you can place the text for each language in a different layer. A prepress service provider can then
show and hide the layers to generate different versions of the document.
If you select the Create Acrobat Layers option when you export a book to PDF, identically named layers are merged by
default.
Note: Create Acrobat Layers is available only when Compatibility is set to Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5) or later.
Export Layers Determines whether visible layers and nonprinting layers are included in the PDF. You can use the Layer
Options settings to determine whether each layer is hidden or set as nonprinting. When exporting to PDF, choose
whether you want to export All Layers (including hidden and nonprinting layers), Visible Layers (including
nonprinting layers), or Visible & Printable Layers.
Include
Bookmarks Creates bookmarks for table of contents entries, preserving the TOC levels. Bookmarks are created from
the information specified in the Bookmarks panel.
Hyperlinks Creates PDF hyperlink annotations for InDesign hyperlinks, table of contents entries, and index entries.
Visible Guides And Grids Exports margin guides, ruler guides, column guides, and baseline grids currently visible in
the document. Grids and guides export in the same color used in the document.
Non-Printing Objects Exports objects to which you have applied the Nonprinting option in the Attributes panel.
Interactive Elements Choose Include Appearance to include items such as buttons and movie posters in the PDF. To
create a PDF with interactive elements, choose the Adobe PDF (Interactive) option instead of the Adobe PDF (Print)
option. See
Export to interactive PDF options.
