version of the PPD file for your output device from the manufacturer. Be
sure to store PPDs in the location specified by the operating system.
This is usually accomplished by the installer for the printer driver. For
details, consult the documentation for your operating system.
Note: Certain PPD features commonly found in imageseer PPD les won’t be accessi-
ble from the Advanced Print Setup dialog box. To set these printer-specic features, use
the Printer Properties dialog box (Windows) or the Print Center (Mac OS). See “Seing
Adobe PDF printer properties” in Complete Acrobat X Pro Help.
Setting PostScript Options
You can set options for a particular PostScript printer, such as how to
handle nonresident printer fonts and how to download Asian fonts. In
addition, if a PDF file contains device-dependent settings, such as
halftones and transfer functions, you can send these settings in the
PostScript output to override the default settings in the printer. To use
these options, you must be connected to a PostScript printer or have a
PostScript printer driver installed with a PPD selected.
To set PostScript options in the Advanced section of the Print dialog
box:
1. Choose a PostScript printer as your target printer and choose File >
Print. In the Print dialog box, click the Advanced buon and choose
PostScript options in the dialog:
2. For Font And Resource Policy, specify how fonts and resources are
downloaded (consult the printer documentation for appropriate
font download seing):
•Send at Start: Downloads any fonts and resources that are used on
more than one page at the beginning of the document. (is is the
fastest option, but it uses more printer memory.)
•Send by Range: Downloads fonts and resources with the rst page that
uses them, and removes them when they are no longer needed. (is
option uses less memory.)
•Send for Each Page: Downloads the fonts and resources with each
page on which they are used. (is option uses the least amount of
printer memory.)
3. For Print Method, choose the PostScript level of the output device.
4. Select other options in the PostScript panel as desired:
•Download Asian Fonts: Prints documents with Asian fonts that are not
installed on the printer or embedded in the PDF le (they must be
present on the system).
•Emit Undercolor Removal/Black Generation: Retains undercover
removal (UCR) and black generation seings if they exist in the Post-
Script le. Black generation calculates the amount of black to be used
when trying to reproduce a particular color. UCR reduces the amount
of cyan, magenta, and yellow components to compensate for the
amount of black added by the black generation. Because it uses less
ink, UCR is generally used for newsprint and uncoated stock.
•Emit Halones: Retains any halone information in the le. Note that
your RIP may override this information.
•Emit Transfer Functions: Retains the transfer functions traditionally
used to compensate for dot gain or dot loss that may occur when an
image is transferred to lm. With this option, Acrobat keeps the trans-
fer functions as part of the le, and applies them to the le when it is
output.
•Emit Flatness: Uses the currently chosen aener seing.
•Emit PS Form Objects: Generates PostScript form objects for Form
XObjects within the PDF le. is option may reduce the overall size of
the print job, but it will increase the printer memory required. Form
XObjects are used to create a single description for complex objects,
such as background objects, that can appear many times in a single
document.
