But reality shows that several publishers or print on demand service providers can not handle proper sRGB PDF files. This is generally not recommended for printing in high resolution.įor PDF, every publishing or printing house should be able to work with a normal sRGB color profile. In the “Quality” tab, you can select the option “ Embed all true color pictures in JPEG format” if the PDF should stay small and is for Internet use. JPEG format (also JPG) is a compromised format that saves space, but loses some quality. Normally, Papyrus Author will keep bitmap pictures in the optimal format, e.g, TIFF, GIF, BMP, … This is a good idea if your pictures ( bitmaps) will not be printed in high resolution, but if you only need the pictures for a PDF available on the Internet. In this tab you will find a drop-down menu to limit the resolution of your PDF.īy “ Maximum resolution for bitmaps” you can choose a smaller DPI value (dots per inch) than. Papyrus Author can limit the PDF resolution and supports the CMYK color mode Once you are finished choosing your settings, you can choose “ PDF Export” and your PDF will be created. This dialog also gives you the option to “ Save PDF settings within the document.” If you select “ Display with PDF viewer after export,” your PDF reader program will open and display your new document once you have finished and hit the “PDF Export” button. The PDF/PAP Hybrid document you generate is a PDF document fully compatible with all PDF reader programs, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you check the box “ Save as PDF/PAP Hybrid” you are choosing Papyrus Author’s special PDF format that allows you to create a PDF, and yet still be able to edit it later in Papyrus Author. See also the options under the “Miscellaneous” PDF tab.

You can choose to create a PDF of “ All Pages” in your current Papyrus Author document, of a “ Page range from to ,” or only of the “ Current Page” (or only the area you have selected). You can either type it in directly, or use the button to choose it in the file selection. Under “Destination” you can enter the name for the PDF document you are creating. The PDF export is located in the menus “File” and “Author” under “Publish,” or in the “Save as…” file selection window, by selecting “PDF” as the document type. The setting for whether you want to generate a standard PDF or a PDF/PAP hybrid can be found in the PDF Export dialog under the “Output” PDF tab. Of course if you would simply like to generate a normal PDF without an embedded Papyrus format, Papyrus Author can do that as well. Up until Papyrus Author created this hybrid format, there had not been an editable format that was also universally readable. This hybrid format is also useful for those who work with document archiving. Searching through your hard drive for the original document you used to create the PDF, has become a thing of the past. This means that you will have a PDF document that you can edit and add to as you like. It is still a PDF document compatible with all reader programs, it is just a bit bigger. PDF format allows you to embed data, so Papyrus Author simply embeds a Papyrus document in the PDF, which you can later read and edit in Papyrus Author. For Papyrus Author, however, we have come up with a solution for this. The PDF format normally cannot be edited. You can save your document as a PAP-PDF hybrid or a normal PDF
