Modifying PDF settings
You can include hyperlinks in a PDF file. Hyperlinks let you jump to Web pages or other URLs.
You can reduce the size of a PDF file by compressing bitmaps. Bitmap compression is available for JPEG, LZW, or ZIP files. Bitmaps using JPEG compression have a quality scale ranging from 2 (high) to 255 (low). The higher the image quality, the larger the file size. You can also reduce the file size by downsampling color, grayscale, or monochrome bitmaps.
When you publish a file to PDF, you can export the file in either ASCII or binary format. The ASCII format creates files that are fully portable. The binary format creates smaller files that are less portable, because not all platforms support the file format.
In addition, you can embed any type of file in a PDF file. For example, you can embed the Quattro Pro file from which the PDF file was generated.
When you publish to PDF, you can choose the color model to apply to a file. You can use grayscale (no color) or the RGB or CMYK color models. If you go to prepress, you may want to maximize color processing by selecting CMYK. If you post a PDF file to the Web, you may want to optimize the file size for the medium and choose RGB. Of the three methods, grayscale produces the smallest PDF file.
