Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format designed to preserve fonts, images, graphics, and formatting of an original file. A PDF file can be viewed, shared, and printed on any platform provided that users have Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Acrobat Reader, or a PDF-compatible reader installed on their computers.

To save a document as a PDF file.
1. Open the document you need for your pdf file, for example, a page for a magazine, poster or graphic design. In this tutorial, I used the scientific poster which I designed.

2. Click File Publish to PDF.

3. Before you save your file choose one of the following pdf styles:
• PDF for document distribution — creates a PDF file that can be printed on a laser or desktop printer and is suitable for general document delivery. This style enables JPEG bitmap image compression and can include bookmarks and hyperlinks.
• PDF for editing — creates a high-quality PDF file intended to be sent to a printer or digital copier. This style enables LZW compression, embeds fonts, and includes hyperlinks, bookmarks, and thumbnails. It displays the PDF file with all the fonts, with all of the images at full resolution, and with hyperlinks, so that you can edit the file at a later date.
• PDF for prepress — enables ZIP bitmap image compression, embeds fonts, and preserves spot color options best designed for high-end quality printing. Consult the service bureau for their preferred settings.
• PDF for the Web — creates a PDF file intended for online viewing, such as a PDF file to be distributed by e-mail or published on the Web. This style enables JPEG bitmap image compression, compresses text, and includes hyperlinks.
• PDF/X-1a — enables ZIP bitmap image compression, converts all objects to CMYK, and preserves spot color options. This style contains the basic settings for prepress and is the standard format for ad distribution.
• PDF/X-3 — This style is a superset of PDF/X-1a. It allows both CMYK and non-CMYK data (such as Lab or Grayscale) in the PDF file.

4. Locate the folder in which you want to save the file.

6. Type a filename in the File name box.
7. Now click over “Settings” (a) and the General window will appear, select: Current Document (b). Then press OK (c).
8. Click Save (d).

You’re done! Now you can open your document in Adobe Acrobat reader ^.^ .
