USING ACROBAT X STANDARD
Creating PDFs
Last updated 10/11/2011
Balancing PDF file size and quality
You can select various settings to ensure that your PDF has the best balance between file size, resolution, conformity
to specific standards, and other factors. Which settings you select depends on your goals for the PDF that you are
creating. For example, a PDF intended for high-quality commercial printing requires different settings than a PDF
intended only for on-screen viewing and quick downloading over the Internet.
Once selected, these settings apply across PDFMaker, Acrobat, and Acrobat Distiller. However, some settings are
limited to specific contexts or file types. For example, PDFMaker options can vary among the different types of
Microsoft Office applications.
For convenience, you can select one of the conversion presets available in Acrobat. You can also create, define, save,
and reuse custom presets that are uniquely suited to your purposes.
For scanned documents, you can choose from Autodetect Color Mode or several scanning presets that are optimized
for scanning documents and images in color or black and white. You can modify these presets, or use your own custom
scanning settings.

Creating simple PDFs with Acrobat
Convert a file to PDF using Acrobat
1 In Acrobat, do one of the following:
Choose File > Create > PDF From File.
In the toolbar, click the Create button and choose PDF From File.
2
In the Open dialog box, select the file. You can browse all file types or select a specific type from the Files Of Type menu.
3 Optionally, click Settings to change the conversion options. The options available vary depending on the file type.
Note: The Settings button is unavailable if you choose All Files as the file type or if no conversion settings are available
for the selected file type.
4 Click Open to convert the file to a PDF.
Depending on the type of file being converted, the authoring application opens automatically or a progress dialog box
appears. If the file is in an unsupported format, a message appears, telling you that the file cannot be converted to PDF.
5 When the new PDF opens, choose File > Save or File > Save As; then select a name and location for the PDF.
When naming a PDF that’s intended for electronic distribution, limit the filename to eight characters (with no spaces)
and include the .pdf extension. This action ensures that email programs or network servers don’t truncate the filename
and that the PDF opens as expected.
