Learn more about overprinting Caution: When you simulate overprint on export, vector features are rasterized into images. They are not maintained as individual vector layers in the output PDF document. This results in options specific to vector data, such as Layers and attributes , being unavailable. Embed color profile. Include the color profile set for the map or layout in the exported file.
This helps create consistency in colors when the file is viewed on different devices. If the profile is not embedded, or a non-color-managed viewer is used, the colors may be significantly different than what is seen on-screen. This option is only available when color management is enabled.
This may cause some colors to appear differently when viewing the exported file. The Security tab contains options relating to the security of the PDF export, including password protection and restricting editing capabilities. Set a password that must be entered before you or others can view the exported file. Set a password that must be entered before you or others can edit or be granted permissions on the exported file. Allow screen readers to access the text in the exported file and read it aloud.
Set the print quality allowed, or restrict printing of the exported file. Set the type of editing allowed on the exported file.
The Accessibility tab contains options for writing a tagged PDF document, which can be read by screen readers or other assistive technology. A tagged PDF document can include alt text—a text description of a graphic element that a screen reader uses to describe the element—for map frames, pictures, and chart frames.
Alt text is added in the Element Pane for each element. Tagged PDF documents are currently only available for layout exports. Output a tagged PDF document where text can be read by screen readers or other assistive technology. Alt text for layout elements is not included in the PDF document unless this option is checked. Set the title of the document. This will be displayed when the document is opened.
Set the language of the text in the document so a screen reader can interpret it correctly. If the map or layout is in multiple languages, additional post-processing may be required to set the language appropriately for individual text elements. Include a brief overview of what the document is about. Include the document author. According to some accessibility guidelines, this should be the office or group producing the document and not an individual person.
They are not specific to a tagged PDF document and are included even if Include accessibility tags is not checked. Feedback on this topic? Back to Top. To export a PDF document, complete the following steps: Make sure a map, layout, or report view is active. Property Description Output as image Export vector content as an image.
Image compression The compression scheme used to compress image or raster data in the output file. Choose from the following: None —Compression is not applied. Quality The amount of image compression applied to the export. Compress vector graphics Compress the vector content streams. Vector resolution The effective dpi of the vector data in the layout.
Raster resample The amount of image resampling. Embed fonts Include embeddable fonts in the exported file to maintain font consistency across different platforms. Convert character marker symbols to polygon Controls whether marker symbols based on font characters are exported as font characters or as polygons. Export georeference information Include geospatial information from the map frames. Layers and attributes Include layers in your map or layout that can be viewed and managed in supported PDF readers.
Simulate Overprint Also called soft proofing, Simulate Overprint shows a representation of how overlapping areas of ink appear when printed on a page. Property Description Use password to restrict opening document Set a password that must be entered before you or others can view the exported file. Use password to restrict editing and permission settings Set a password that must be entered before you or others can edit or be granted permissions on the exported file.
Enable copying Allow others to copy the exported file. Enable text access for screen readers Allow screen readers to access the text in the exported file and read it aloud.
Printing allowed Set the print quality allowed, or restrict printing of the exported file. Editing allowed Set the type of editing allowed on the exported file. Property Description Include accessibility tags Output a tagged PDF document where text can be read by screen readers or other assistive technology. Title Set the title of the document. Language Set the language of the text in the document so a screen reader can interpret it correctly. Subject Include a brief overview of what the document is about.
Author Include the document author. Keywords Include keywords to assist in document searches. In this topic Properties Security Accessibility for layout exports.
Output as image. Image compression. Vector resolution. Raster resample. Embed fonts. Simulate Overprint. You should also use PDF when you wish to provide a simple, self-contained interactive map viewing experience. PDF documents store all map information in a single file, making it is a useful medium for sharing content with those who work in locations where a network connection is not available. Exporting map layer information and georeference information can geoenable the PDF document, allowing the user to interact with and search through the map content.
For most cases, using the default values should produce a usable file, but you can set export options to create output for specific requirements. This specifies the output resolution or dots per inch in the output image.
Higher values usually produce sharper images. However, this can also substantially increase the file size and processing time. For PDF, the default resolution is dpi. The Output Image Quality control is intended to resample raster data prior to printing or exporting the map.
For maps with raster data or transparent vector layers, adjusting this value can significantly reduce the amount of data being passed through the output pipeline and will reduce export times and file sizes. Destination Colorspace controls the color space in which colors are specified in the output file. RGB is the default and is appropriate for on-screen viewing and printing to inkjet or laser printers. CMYK mode is intended for commerical print production, when your output will be sent to a print shop.
If you want to compress the vector portions of your PDF to produce a smaller output file, check the Compress Vector Graphics option. Adaptive mode produces the smallest file size but may produce compression artifacts on the export image.
For lossless compression of raster images in the PDF, use Deflate mode. The Embed All Document Fonts option allows you to include the fonts that are used within the document itself. This allows the PDF to look the same when opened on any platform that supports PDF viewing, even if the platform does not have the document's fonts installed.
This is the default and should usually be used. When Data Driven Pages are enabled in your map document and ArcMap is set to layout view, the Pages tab provides access to the options that control Data Driven Pages export.
The arcpy. It can also modify PDF documents. Using the arcpy. You can use a simple arcpy. Follow these steps to encrypt a PDF document and protect it with the example password secret. Export a map to PDF format and note the export file's location on disk. PDF files exported from ArcMap can include advanced functionality in addition to their usage as a graphic interchange format.
PDF files can contain layers from the ArcMap table of contents so that users can enable and disable the visibility of layers and graphic elements on the PDF page.
