Define a PDF Preset

Step 1: Select High Quality Print

• Select the "General" tab.
• Select "View PDF after Saving."

Step 2: Select Marks and Bleeds

• Tick "Trim Marks."
• Change "Bleeds" to the correct size for your product:
  • 2mm for vinyl stickers smaller than A4
  • 5mm for vinyl stickers larger than A4
  • 3mm for flat and folded small format paper and card items (business cards, flyers, postcards, brochures, die-cut items)
  • 5mm for posters, banners, and standees
• Change "Offset" to match bleed value. (This ensures your trim marks stay outside the bleed area.)

Step 3: Select Advanced

• Change "Subset fonts" to 0%.

Step 4: Select Summary and ensure there are no Warnings

• Select the "Save Preset" icon in the top right corner of the window.
• Name the Preset something memorable for this type of item, such as:
  • "3mm Digital-Offset"
  • "2mm Vinyl Stickers"
  • "5mm Posters-Banners"

By creating a custom PDF preset, you can streamline your workflow and ensure consistent file preparation for all your print projects.
