9.4.1 General tab (PDF)
The General tab provides options to configure the format of the PDF file, the location
for the file and the actions to perform when a PDF is created.
The items in the File options panel allow you to control the format of the output file:
PDF file format
Select the version of PDF you want to create: 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 or 1.6.
Creates a PDF/A-1b compliant file
This appears when you have chosen to create PDF/A-1b compliant files
in either CMYK or RGB color formats from the standard setups. See
“Standard setups” on page 109Standard setups.
When selected a number of things happen. All setup options are
disabled, the PDF file format field changes to 1.4, and the Color
conversion options are restricted to Convert All Colors To CMYK and
Convert All Colors To RGB. For more information see “PDF file format”
on page 114PDF file format and “Color conversion” on page 116Color
conversion.
If you have chosen to create a copy of a PDF/A-1b CMYK or RGB setup
the icon changes to red to indicate that you are creating a copy. When
you create a copy only those options that do not affect PDF/A-1b
compliancy can be changed and all other options are disabled. This
ensures that your copy of the setup remains PDF/A-1b compliant.
NOTE: To guarantee the fidelity of PDF/A-1b files use the Corel PDF Converter or print to the Corel PDF
printer.
Thumbnail generation
Corel PDF Fusion optionally generates thumbnail images of each page
(either monochrome or color), which can be used as a navigation aid in
your PDF viewing application. Some PDF viewers automatically create
thumbnails so leaving this option set to off can reduce the size of the
generated PDF.
Resolution
Use this to change the effective resolution at which the PDF file is
created. Set the resolution to be the same as the resolution of the
intended output device if the PDF file is intended for printing. Three
standard options are available,
Low (300 dpi), Medium (600 dpi) and High
(1200 dpi). A
Custom option is also available that lets you set the
resolution to any value.
Auto-rotate pages
Corel PDF Fusion always honors requests for landscape output.
However, some Windows applications produce landscape output by
rotating the output onto a portrait page. When printed, this is not a
problem, as the page can easily be rotated. However, when producing a
PDF this leads to text lines being vertical rather than horizontal.
