• Use the Hyperlink pane to specify how links and lists from the layout export and how
hyperlinks should appear in the PDF. You can also use this pane to specify the default
zoom of the PDF file.
• Use the Meta Data pane to provide the details that display in the Description tab of
the Document Properties dialog box in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
• Use the Fonts pane to specify which fonts are embedded within the exported PDF file.
• Use the Bleed pane to specify how bleeds are handled in the PDF file.
• Use the Layers pane to specify which layers to include in the PDF file, and to create
PDF layers from the layers in the QuarkXPress layout.
• Use the Transparency pane to control how transparent items are flattened. To disable
flattening and maintain transparency relationships in the exported PDF, click Export
Transparency Natively. To output items without taking their opacity values into
account, click Ignore Transparency. To turn on flattening, click Flatten Transparency.
When flattening is turned on, you can specify a resolution for rasterizing pictures that
include vector data in a transparency relationship. To do so, click the Vector Images
drop-down menu and choose or enter a dpi value. This control applies only when
flattening is turned on.
To specify a resolution for blends (regardless of whether flattening is turned on), click
the Blends drop-down menu and choose or enter a dpi value. To specify a resolution
for rasterizing drop shadows (regardless of whether flattening is turned on), click the
Drop Shadows drop-down menu and choose or enter a dpi value.
To specify resolution for rotated and skewed objects when flattening is turned on,
check Upsample Rotations and then enter a value in the To field. The To field value
should be at least equal to the highest resolution value among the Vector Images,
Blends, and Drop Shadows fields.
To control the resolution of flattened transparency in imported PDF and Adobe
Illustrator files, enter a value in the Flattening Resolution field.
Export Transparency Natively is unavailable if you choose PDF/X–1a: 2001 or
PDF/X–3: 2002 from the Verification drop-down menu. This feature is also unavailable
if you choose Separations from the Mode drop-down menu in the Color pane.
• Use the JDF pane to indicate whether a Job Definition Format (JDF) file should be
created at the same time as the PDF file. You might choose to do this if you're using
Job Jackets in a JDF workflow.
• Use the Summary pane to view a summary of the selected PDF export options.
