Open a target that is using the PDF format.
If necessary, you can change the output type for a target. See Changing the Output Type for a Target.
Image Compression
- Downsample images above Select this if you want to downsample images and then enter the number of pixels per inch. Downsampling means to reduce the number of pixels in an image, which can significantly reduce the size of the PDF.
- Compression Select an option for the compression.
- Quality If you select the "JPEG" option, you can also choose an option from this field. Maximum uses the least amount of compression and results in a higher file size.
Document Properties
- Title Enter the title for the PDF document. This information is included in the final PDF output (e.g., shown in the file properties).
- Author Enter the name of the author. This information is included in the final PDF output (e.g., shown in the file properties).
- Subject Enter the subject of the document. This information is included in the final PDF output (e.g., shown in the file properties).
- Keywords Enter any keywords for the document. This information is included in the final PDF output (e.g., shown in the file properties).
Include non-TOC bookmarks in the bookmarks pane If you have inserted bookmarks randomly in some of your topics, by default these will not appear as links in the output navigation pane. If you want these bookmarks to be shown in the navigation pane (under your table of contents links) you can click this check box.
PDF Tagging
- Generate tagged PDF Select this to generate a tagged PDF. This gives the file a structure similar to that of the source XHTML documents. This structure is necessary for certain accessibility applications, including screen readers (see About Accessibility). For more information about viewing the tag structure in Adobe Acrobat Pro, please refer to the documentation provided with that application.
Initial View
- Magnification Select the default size for displaying the PDF output when an end user opens it (e.g., actual size, fit page, fit width, a specific percentage).
- Navigation Select how you want the output to be displayed by default when it comes to navigation features (Page Only, Bookmarks Panel and Page, Full Screen).
Security
Require password to open Select this if you want users to be required to enter a password in order to open the document. Then type the password you want to use.
Specify the amount of security for the document.
- 40-bit Not as secure, but can be viewed with Adobe Reader 3.0 and higher
- 128-bit More secure, but can be read only with Adobe Reader 5.0 and higher
Restrict permissions Select this if you want to limit what readers of the document can do unless they have the permissions password. Then type the password you want to use. When you set only a permissions password (also known as a "master password"), recipients don’t need a password to open the document. However, they must type the permissions password to set or change the restricted features. This option works with Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.0 and higher.
In the Open Permissions section, specify the actions that you want to restrict:
Note: If the PDF is secured with both types of passwords, it can be opened with either password. However, only the permissions password allows the user to change the restricted features. Because of the added security, setting both types of passwords is often beneficial. All Adobe products enforce the restrictions set by the permissions password. However, if third-party products do not support or respect these settings, document recipients are able to bypass some or all of the restrictions you set.
