Using the prepress printing settings


In addition to the standard printing options described in previous sections, the Print dialog box also contains an Advanced button that opens the Advanced Print Setup dialog box. These features are used only when preparing a PDF document for professional printing with high-end imagesetters. Don’t mess with these prepress settings without the advice and consent of your favorite service bureau people. When you click the name of any check box option in the Advanced Print Setup dialog box, Acrobat displays a brief description of that option in a text box at the bottom of the dialog box. Just be mindful that when clicking the name of an option to get a brief explanation of its function, you also end up either selecting or deselecting that check box. If you’re just exploring the options to discover more about their use, be sure that you don’t inadvertently select an option you don’t really want to use.
