PDF options

The following options are available for PDF:

Embed bookmarks. This option includes bookmarks in the PDF document that correspond to the Viewer outline entries. Like the Viewer outline pane, bookmarks can make it much easier to navigate documents with a large number of output objects.

Embed fonts. Embedding fonts ensures that the PDF document will look the same on all computers. Otherwise, if some fonts used in the document are not available on the computer being used to view (or print) the PDF document, font substitution may yield suboptimal results.

Layers in pivot tables. By default, inclusion or exclusion of pivot table layers is controlled by the table properties for each pivot table. You can override this setting and include all layers or exclude all but the currently visible layer. See the topic Table properties: printing for more information.

Views of Models. By default, inclusion or exclusion of model views is controlled by the model properties for each model. You can override this setting and include all views or exclude all but the currently visible view. See the topic Model properties for more information. (Note: all model views, including tables, are exported as graphics.)

  1. Make the Viewer the active window (click anywhere in the window).
  2. From the menus choose:

    File > Export...

  3. Select Portable Document Format as the export format.
  4. Click Change Options.

Other Settings That Affect PDF Output

Page Setup/Page Attributes. Page size, orientation, margins, content and display of page headers and footers, and printed chart size in PDF documents are controlled by page setup and page attribute options.

Table Properties/TableLooks. Scaling of wide and/or long tables and printing of table layers are controlled by table properties for each table. These properties can also be saved in TableLooks.

Default/Current Printer. The resolution (DPI) of the PDF document is the current resolution setting for the default or currently selected printer (which can be changed using Page Setup). The maximum resolution is 1200 DPI. If the printer setting is higher, the PDF document resolution will be 1200 DPI.

Note: High-resolution documents may yield poor results when printed on lower-resolution printers.
