ScanSoft PDF Create! Properties dialog box
This gives you full control over the conversions. In the General panel you
define page size, orientation, resolution for the PDF, choose whether or
not to view it after creation and choose a grayscale or color PDF. 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:
Page 1 of a multi-
page document
Cover page of
resulting PDF file
=
+
Single-page file with
repeated elements
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
ev
ery page of PDF files you create. To do this select the option named
above.
For more information on overlay choices, please consult Help.
