ScanSoft PDF Create! Properties dialog box
This gives you full control over conversions done without using the PDF
Create Assistant. In the General panel you define page size, orientation,
resolution for the PDF and choose whether or not to view it after
creation. The PDF Settings panel lets you define the PDF version, control
font embedding, set compression types and severity, define passwords
and add watermarks. It gives you choices for naming the created PDF
file(s) and defining properties such as title, author, subject and
keywords. The created file(s) can also be directed as attachments to an
E-mail message, ready for distribution.
The ScanSoft PDF Create! Properties dialog box can be accessed from the
Print dialog box in your applications. When working from the Create
Assistant or Windows Explorer, these settings are made through the
profiles. If you need to access these settings from Microsoft Word,
choose File/Print instead of the Create PDF button.
How to overlay PDF files
Overlay options let you place artwork or other fixed items onto just the
first page of your PDF files, together with items that change from file to
file. Overlay example for a cover page:
To have this result, deselect the option 'Repeat the last page of the
shortest document for page overlay'.
You can also use an overlay to add a company logo or other fixed item to
every page of PDF files you create. To do this select the option named
above.
For more information on overlay choices, please consult Help.
