Retain layout
Depending on how you are planning to use your electronic document, select the best option below:
● Exact copy
Produces a document that maintains the formatting of the original. This option is recommended for documents with complex
layouts, such as promotion booklets. Note, however, that this option limits the ability to change the text and formatting of the
output document.
● Editable copy
Produces a document that nearly preserves the original format and text flow but allows easy editing.
● Formatted text
Retains fonts, font sizes, and paragraphs, but does not retain the exact locations of the objects on the page or the spacing. The
resulting text will be left–aligned.
● Plain text
Same as Formatted text, but does not retain font sizes.
