Use the options from the PDF Optionstab to set the portability of a PDF document. For example, if a document is to open in a Web browser or from a network, it should be optimized (using linearization)to ensure it loads and displays quickly. Also, if a document is to be archived, its fonts must be fully embedded and its output set to PDF/A to guarantee archiving compliancy.
To Select PDF Option Settings
- Using the application's printer dialog select Xodo PDF from the printer name list.
- Click "Properties" to view additional settings
- Go to the PDF Options tab and select from the below options
- Click OK to apply the settings before generating the PDF
Available Options
Font Embedding - To include all TrueType® and Type1 (Postscript) fonts from the source document into the output PDF file. This creates a larger file but ensures consistent document display across different platforms. Additional font embedding options include:
- Partial font embedding: To set the PDF Converter to embed only portions of the font file that are used by the source document.
- Embed standard fonts: To set the PDF Converter to embed Arial and Times New Roman fonts. These fonts are not embedded by default as they are provided with Acrobat® reader.
- Embed licensed fonts: To set the PDF Converter to embed fonts that require a license from their manufacturer.
Output PDF 2.0 - To generate the document in the PDF 2.0 specification.
Page Content Compression - To compress a document with the zlib/deflate compression algorithm. Disable this option for debugging purposes or for applications that analyze the generated PDF file in clear text.
Web optimization (Linearization) - To view a PDF file from a Web browser, server, or remote location. This option enables the reader to view the PDF page by-page without having to download the entire document.
Multi-language support - To convert non-Western-European and U.S. character sets (e.g., Eastern- European and Far-Eastern characters). This conversion is less efficient and files tend to be larger. Font embedding is recommended for PDF viewers to correctly display all fonts.
Output XMP metadata - To generate an XML representation of the metadata that describes the document. The metadata is formatted according to the Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) specifications.
Output PDF/A - Generate the document in PDF/A format. Based on the PDF 1.4 specifications, PDF/A places a certain number of constraints on PDF files to ensure that they remain readable with future versions of operating systems and PDF viewers.
