Acrobat v.7 .jobOptions settings (mac or windows)

To make a .pdf format, first export your original application file as a .eps or a .ps file. Launch Acrobat Distiller 6.

  1. Under Settings, select 'Edit Adobe PDF Settings'
  2. Under each tab, choose the settings as shown
Choose SaveAs... and name your new .joboption (example: NJNewsprint.joboption). Choose OK and go back to the main window - see below.
If you would prefer, the standard for PDF's is PDF/X-1a. If you distill a file with this parameter selected, that pdf is guaranteed to print.

However, if you select the configurations in the above windows, your pdf will publish correctly even without PDF/X-1a selected.

Drag and drop your .eps or .ps file on top of the distiller window. Acrobat Distiller will generate the .pdf file for you
