Distilling print-ready PDFs with Distiller 6.0

Return to Guideline Menu


General Tab:

Select Acrobat 4.0 compatibility

Object level compression off

Auto rotate off

Binding left

Resolution 2400

All pages

Optimize for fast web

Units Points

612.00 x 792.00


Images Tab:

All resampling and compression should be off.

Choose maximum image quality.

When assembling a file, high resolution images should be used and written into the pdf.


Fonts Tab:

ALWAYS embed ALL fonts! Embedding fonts assures the integrity of the file. If the fonts are not embedded, every time the file is brought up on a different computer, the fonts will change according to the fonts available to it. Such an occurance defies the logic of a “print­ready” pdf.


Color Tab:

The high resolution images being written into the file are presumably, approved CMYK images properly prepared for high end printing. Leave all color unchanged.
