PDF Creation settings

Nitro PDF Professional gives you advanced control over the kinds of PDFs you create, and best of all, many of these settings can be saved and reused by saving them as profiles.

For example, you could easily create profiles that generated a low resolution version for draft or internal usage situations, and have other profiles that generate professional quality documents.

Creation settings for profiles

• PDF Compatibility. Determines what type of PDF is created and which version of the PDF specification it is compatible with. Nitro PDF Professional can make PDFs that adhere to the 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 PDF specifications. If you're unsure what PDF viewing software the recipients of your documents are using then it's safest to go with the oldest version (1.3).
• Security. Applies password-based security controls, including the limiting of print, copying and extracting, form filling, commenting and more.
• Watermarks or stamps. Applies text- and/or image-based watermarks and stamps to specified document pages.
• Fonts. Controls whether to embed particular fonts or not, and whether to embed font subsets.
• Image compression. Sets the quality or compression level applied to any images in the converted document. Settings can leave images untouched, can compress at different levels and can even remove images altogether from the PDF created.

Nitro PDF Professional Driver creation settings

The Nitro PDF Professional Driver lets you control all the settings outlined above in the profiles section, and supports a much larger range of additional document settings. The Nitro PDF Professional Driver can be used to convert any printable file into a PDF version. The settings include:

• Page size and rotation. Sets the size and orientation of the pages.
• Document view options. Sets whether to display the Bookmarks or Pages panel when a the PDF document is opened. Sets whether the document should use a single page or a continuous page display mode.
• Window view options. Sets the zoom level at which to display the PDF.
• Interface options. Sets whether the menu, toolbar, etc. should be displayed when a PDF is opened.
• Document information. Sets the document title, author, subject, keywords and custom fields.
• Send as mail. Converts and then attaches the PDF to an email ready for you to send.
• Optimize for web viewing. Optimizes for online use and adds byte serving, which makes reading PDFs online faster.
