Share custom PDF settings

You can save and reuse your own Adobe PDF preset definitions. You can also share a custom preset by sending a copy of the resulting file to other users. Those users can then add it to the Distiller applications installed on their own computers.

Note: PDF settings files have the extension .joboptions. Custom preset files are stored in (Windows) Documents and Settings/[username]/Application Data/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings, (Vista) Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings, or (Mac OS) User/[username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings.
 To add a custom PDF settings file to the menu, do one of the following:
  • Drag the .joboptions file onto the Distiller window.

  • In Acrobat Distiller, choose Settings > Add Adobe PDF Settings, browse to the copied .joboptions file, select it, and click Open.

The settings file appears as the selected option in the Default Settings menu.
