More about PDF options:
-
To make a PDF from only some of the pages in your document, choose an option under Page range.
-
To include tracked changes in the PDF, under Publish what, check the Document showing markup box. Otherwise, make sure Document is checked.
-
To create a set of bookmarks in the PDF, check the Create bookmarks using box. Then choose Headings or, if you added bookmarks to your document, Word Bookmarks.
-
If you do want to include document properties in the PDF, make sure the Document properties box is checked.
-
To make the document easier for screen-reading software to read, check the Document structure tags for accessibility box.
-
ISO 19005-1 compliant (PDF/A) This option outputs the PDF document using the PDF/A standard, which is an archiving standard. The PDF/A standard preserves the document so it will look the same when it’s opened in the future.
-
Bitmap text when fonts may not be embedded If fonts can't be embedded into the document, the PDF uses bitmap images of the text so the PDF looks the same as the original document. If this option isn’t checked and the file uses a font that can't be embedded, then the PDF reader might substitute another font.
