Making PDF Files / PDF From Illustrator
Subtitles of the Movie
If you are familiar with adobe illustrator, you will notice I have adobe illustrator file here - this is the file I have opened in adobe illustrator and it's a typical vector based file. I have some text and a couple of shapes in here. And the reason I am showing you my adobe illustrator file, is because under save as if I choose that of course I can save my document as an adobe illustrator file but one of my options, is to save it as an adobe pdf file. So I choose that option and notice it immediately gives it the suffix, .pdf, which of course stands for portable document format and I will click save and it brings up this dialog box, which are some options that we have pertaining to pdf. What file compatibility format do we want? - choose Acrobat 4 if you want it to be more compatible with older versions of Acrobat; saving out of illustrator there's usually no big difference between 4 and 5. Another option we have which is the great one is to preserve illustrator's editing capabilities. So this way I can exchange my illustrator document with other people that have illustrator and they can open up this pdf document and still edit it in illustrator. Choose what you want to embed all the fonts or a subset of fonts and if you want this to generate a thumbnail or not. We also have options for compression so if I had bitmap images I have some options here but I don't have any bitmap images so that's fine. So will just click ok and illustrator has written out this pdf file; so I can close it and I will go back to file menu open and you can see here is my pdf file - you can open that and as I mentioned a cool feature of this is that my illustrator document is still editable in illustrator even though, it was opened not as illustrator file but as a pdf file. Also notice here is my pdf file that I could open in Acrobat reader or Acrobat 5. is my pdf file that I could open in Acrobat reader or Acrobat 5.
