Configuring the Adobe PDF printer (Mac OS)
In Mac OS, you configure the Adobe PDF printer in three places: Distiller, your authoring
application's Page Setup menu, and your authoring application's Print dialog box.
To configure the Adobe PDF printer:
1. In Distiller, specify the Adobe PDF settings, font locations, and security. (See Creating
Adobe PDF files using Acrobat Distiller and Setting Distiller preferences.)
2. In an authoring application such as Adobe InDesign, choose File > Page Setup, and do the
following:
● Select Adobe PDF 7.0 from the Format For menu.
● Specify the paper size, orientation, and scale as necessary. To create custom page sizes,
see Creating a custom page size.
3. In your authoring application, choose File > Print, and select Adobe PDF 7.0 from the
Printer menu.
4. In the pop-up menu below the Presets menu, choose PDF Options, and set any of the
following options:
● Select a set of predefined conversion settings from the Adobe PDF Settings menu if you
want to override default settings. Default settings are the settings currently defined in
Distiller.
● Specify whether to open the converted files in Acrobat in the After PDF Creation menu.
5. Specify print settings as desired in the other menus available in the pop-up menu below
the Presets menu.
