Setting display options for converted text files
You can determine the font properties and other display characteristics of text files that
you convert to Adobe PDF files.
To set display options for plain text files:
1. Do one of the following to open the Web Page Conversion Settings dialog box:
● Choose File > Create PDF > From Web Page, or choose From Web Page from the Create
PDF menu on the toolbar.
● Click the Create PDF From Web Page button on the toolbar.
● Choose Advanced > Web Capture > Append Web Page.
2. Click Settings.
3. In the General tab of the Web Page Conversion Settings dialog box, double-click Plain
Text, or select Plain Text, and click Settings.
4. In the General tab, select from the following options:
● Colors set the default colors for text and page backgrounds. For each color, click the color
button to open a palette, and select the color.
● Wrap Lines At Margin wraps lines that reach the margin of the text files. (It is generally a
good idea to select this option because web pages have no preset page width. Otherwise,
lines are defined only by carriage return or new line characters, and the page is scaled so
the longest line fits on the screen.)
● Reflow Text is available when Wrap Lines At Margin is selected. (See Understanding and
optimizing Reflow.)
● Limit Lines Per Page limits the number of lines that can appear on a PDF page to the
specified number.
5. Click the Fonts And Encoding tab to specify fonts for body text, headings, or preformatted
text:
● Input Encoding sets the encoding of a file's text.
● Language Specific Font Settings determine the font used for text. To change the fonts
used to display text, click Change, select a new font from the menu, and click OK to apply
the changes.
● Font Size sets the font size used for text.
● Embed Platform Font When Possible stores the font used on the pages in the PDF file so
that the text always appears in the original fonts. Note that embedding fonts increases the
size of the file. (See Accessing and embedding fonts.)
