Microsoft Office
By default, Acrobat PDFMaker in Microsoft Office creates PDF files using the Standard settings file, which doesn’t meet the requirements for most high-end printing.
-
Select File > Print.
-
In the print window that opens, select Adobe PDF as the name of your printer.
-
Click properties button. Where it says default settings, choose an option that contains the prefix PDF/X-1a. If you do not have this as an option, then choose either high quality print or press quality.
-
Be sure that the option to rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts, is unchecked.
-
Click the Paper Quality tab. For a black & white project, be sure black & white is selected, otherwise select color.
-
Click okay to close the properties window. Click okay again to begin producing the PDF.
-
Review the PDF in Acrobat 7.0 Professional or later.
