2 Locate the folder in which you want to save the file.
3 Type a filename in the File name box.
4 Choose one of the following options from the PDF preset list box:
• Archiving (CMYK) — creates a PDF/A-1b file, which is suitable for archiving purposes. In comparison to traditional PDF files, PDF/A-1b
files are better suited for long-term preservation of documents because they are more self-contained and more device-independent.
PDF/A-1b files include embedded fonts, device-independent color, and their own description as XMP metadata. This PDF style preserves
any spot or Lab colors included in the original document, but it converts all other colors, such as grayscale or RGB, to the CMYK color
mode. In addition, this style embeds a color profile to specify how CMYK colors should be interpreted on the rendering device.
• Archiving (RGB) — similarly to the previous style, creates a PDF/A-1b file, preserving any spot and Lab colors. All other colors are
converted to the RGB color mode.
• Current proof settings — applies the proofing color profile to the PDF
• Document distribution — creates a PDF file that can be printed on a laser or desktop printer and is suitable for general document
delivery. This style enables JPEG bitmap image compression and can include bookmarks and hyperlinks.
• Editing — creates a high-quality PDF file intended to be sent to a printer or digital copier. This style enables LZW compression, embeds
fonts, and includes hyperlinks, bookmarks, and thumbnails. It displays the PDF file with all the fonts, with all of the images at full
resolution, and with hyperlinks, so that you can edit the file at a later date.
• PDF/X-1a — enables ZIP bitmap image compression, converts all objects to the destination CMYK color space
• PDF/X-3 — This style is a superset of PDF/X-1a. It allows both CMYK and non-CMYK data (such as Lab or Grayscale) in the PDF file.
• Prepress — enables ZIP bitmap image compression, embeds fonts, and preserves spot color options best designed for high-end
quality printing. Before preparing a PDF file for printing, it’s always best to consult your print provider to find out which settings are
recommended.
• Web — creates a PDF file intended for online viewing, such as a PDF file to be distributed by email or published on the web. This style
enables JPEG bitmap image compression, compresses text, and includes hyperlinks.
5 Click Settings.
The PDF settings dialog box appears.
6 In the Export range area, enable one of the following options:
• Current document — exports the current document
• Documents — exports the documents that you specify
• Selection — exports the objects that you have selected
• Current page — exports the active page
• Pages — exports the pages that you specify
7 In the Page size area, choose one of the following options:
• As defined in CorelDRAW — applies the page size that is defined in the document
• Set by the selected objects — allows the page size to be determined by the size of the objects on the page
8 Click OK.
9 Click Save.
If you want to create a PDF file for archiving purposes that conforms to the PDF/A-1b standards, embedding must be allowed for
all the fonts in your document. To check for fonts that cannot be embedded, view the preflight summary of the PDF file. For more
information about viewing summaries, see “To view the preflight summary for a PDF file” on page 617. You can substitute any
fonts that cannot be embedded, or you can convert all text to curves by enabling the Export all text as curves check box on the
Objects page of the Publish to PDF settings dialog box.
If the document contains a 3D model, click Settings in the Publish to PDF dialog box, and choose Acrobat 8.0 or higher from the
Compatibility list box to ensure that the 3D model is interactive in PDF readers.
To check if a font can be embedded, you can view licensing information and embedding restrictions by using a free tool, such as the
Font properties extension tool available on the Microsoft website.
