Adobe Acrobat Distiller - creating PDFs for press output


	Pagefast Acrobat Distiller Settings for creating Press Optimised PDFs*

Acrobat Distiller is part of the full version of Adobe Acrobat.
This must be used to create PDFs for either print or screen (web) use.

Acrobat PDF files are widely used in the printing industry as they provide a cross-platform means of high resolution printing from a variety of software programs.

As long as you can produce (usually “Print”) a Postscript (.ps) file from within your software, Acrobat Distiller can produce a PDF which we can then use to print your job at high resolution.

Click the arrows to follow the steps necessary to set up Acrobat Distiller to produce high resolution PDFs using Pagefast’s own settings which are optimised for our own film output. (Version 5 settings are displayed, however all versions have similar settings)


Adobe Acrobat Reader is available free for most computer platforms

	You can download the Free Acrobat Reader software from www.adobe.co.uk - click here If you require the full version of Acrobat that can also be purchased online from Adobe - click here for more information

		Click this arrow for the first page in the series on PDF settings or select from side links on the left side of this page.


* You can also download the actual “JobOptions” settings file which needs to be dropped into the “Settings” folder within Distiller which has the same effect as manually adjusting the Distiller settings. Right click the relevant link and select “Save target as” option to download to your PC or Apple Mac
