7 Select additional options, depending on the Acrobat version you selected in step 6:
Compress Text and Graphics compresses text and graphic elements in the PDF document
(using the PostScript language imaging model). If you selected a Color or Grayscale Image
Compression option in step 4, bitmap images are compressed in JPEG format.
ASCII Format exports documents as 7-bit, to prevent problems when PDF files are shared on
older networks and e-mail systems. Deselect this option to export ASCII documents as 8-bit.
Editable Text Format exports editable text with the PDF file. Select this option only if you plan
to edit the document in FreeHand or Illustrator; or to prevent FreeHand text blocks from
breaking into several text blocks during export. When selected, this option produces a larger
document. Deselect this option if your goal is screen and print output.
Export Notes exports notes you added in the Note text box in the Navigation panel as PDF
annotations (see “Adding names and notes to objects” on page 124).
Export URLs exports URLs as rectangular, hyperlinked annotations.
Embed Fonts embeds TrueType and Type 1 fonts in the document.
