PDF And You

The interface has been completely redesigned, and now features a vertical toolbar. More important, though, Adobe has reengineered the Distiller configuration process so that it no longer resembles a Byzantine labyrinth. Whereas the previous version of Distiller required users to deal with 31 dialog boxes to correctly prepare a file for printing, Acrobat 4.0 is remarkably simple: there are three default settings from which to choose—ScreenOptimized, PrintOptimized and PressOptimized output. In addition, users can configure their own settings.
