Create Adobe PDF Online restructures the file to prepare for page-at-a-time downloading (byte serving) from Web servers. This option compresses text and line art regardless of what you have selected in the Compression settings. This makes for faster access and viewing when downlaoding the file from the Web or a network. Embed Thumbnails Embed Thumbnails creates a thumbnail preview for each page in the PDF file. Auto-Rotate Pages Auto-Rotate Pages automatically rotates pages based on the orientation of the text or DSC comments. For example, some pages (such as those containing tables) in a document may require the document to be turned sideways to be read. With Auto-Rotate Pages selected, choose Individually to rotate each page based on the direction of the text on that page. Choose Collectively by File to rotate all pages in the document based on the orientation of the majority of text. Note: If the Process DSC Comments option is selected in the Advanced job options and if %%Viewing Orientation comments are included, Create Adobe PDF Online gives precedence to these comments. Binding Binding specifies whether to display a PDF file with left-side or right-side binding. This affects the display of pages in the Facing Page - Continuous layout and the display of thumbnails side by side. Resolution Resolution emulates the resolution of a printer. For PostScript files that adjust their behavior according to the resolution of the printer they are running on to behave correctly, Create Adobe PDF Online must emulate the behavior of a printer. For most PostScript files, a higher resolution setting will result in larger but higher quality PDF, while a lower setting will result in smaller but lower quality PDF. Most commonly, resolution determines the number of steps in a gradient or blend. You can enter a value from 72 to 4000. Generally, however, you should leave this at the default setting unless you plan to print the PDF file on a specific printer and you want Create Adobe PDF Online to emulate the resolution defined in the original PostScript file. Note: Increasing the resolution setting increases the file size and may slightly increase the time required to process some files.
