SHX text as geometry: Annotations based on SHX fonts are output with lines and arcs.As geometry: Converts annotations that use TrueType fonts into outlined geometry in the PDF file.This may influence the output performance, but reduces the file size. Optimized: Specifies whether to use True Type font-related optimization when creating the PDF file.Embedded: Embeds the TrueType fonts used in the drawing's annotations in the output file.True Type fonts: Specifies how to handle annotations using TrueType fonts:.If you intend to print the PDF file to a specific output device, you may want to specify a resolution that matches the printer's resolution. The file size increases if you set a higher resolution. Custom bitmap resolution: Gradient fills and shaded objects and Viewports in the drawing are output with the dots per inch resolution specified in DPI (max.Use layers in PDF file (PDF v1.5 or higher): Creates layers in the PDF file according to the layers in the drawing.For more information on PrintStyles see Managing PrintStyle Tables.
