the size and quality of
.PDFs. Its important to
know the final destina-
tion of the document
The next tab in the Job
Options panel is the
Fonts tab. The .PDF is
an all-included self-con-
tained document. All
the fonts and images
required to view and
print the document are
wrapped in a single file.
Select to Embed all
Fonts and set the per-
centage to 100%. This
guarantees that the
Acrobat will display
your .PDF using only
the fonts you’ve embed-
ded in the file. Unless
this option is checked
font conflicts can occur
if fonts used in the .PDF
are different but have
the same name as those
in the computer of any-
one who tries to open
the document.
When you have finished setting these job options
you are ready to convert your PostScript docu-
ment into a .PDF. You can use Acrobat Distillers
Open command in the File menu or you can sim-
ply drag the postscript file into the Distiller win-
dow to print it into a .PDF.
One of the most noticeable differences between
the two documents, which is actually the same
document transformed from .ps to.pdf, is the
immense reduction in size. The document shown
below is last month’s Double Click before and
after Acrobat Distiller has done its thing.
Now I can open the .PDF document with Acrobat
Reader and check to make sure that it physically
resembles the Quark XPress document I started
with. If the text appears normal and all of the pic-
tures look as they should I can rename the new
document and post it to the Source BBS for all of
you to download and thoroughly enjoy, every
article and paragraph.
