Create high-resolution print-ready PDFs using Acrobat

Standard PDFs are not print-ready. They may have poor quality images and colors, which may not print correctly or print at a very low quality. You can use Acrobat Pro to create high-resolution print-ready PDFs from your standard PDFs.

Note:

Adobe recommends creating a high-resolution print-ready PDF directly from the source application.

Steps:

  1. Open the PDF in Acrobat and select the hamburger meu   (Windows) or File menu (macOS) > Save as other > Press-ready PDF (PDF/ X).

  2. In the Save As dialog box, select Settings.

  3. In the Preflight dialog, select Save as PDF/X-4 and select OK

    Note:

    You can select the available PDF/X-4 conversion profiles listed in the Create PDF/X-4 according to the following PDF/X-4 conversion profile section, and Apply corrections as per your requirement.
