<h2>PDF Export Targets</h2>
<p>There are basically four kinds of PDF export targets. It’s important that you consider the hints below <i>before</i> you start creating your documents.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<strong>Press Optimized:</strong> All <a href="importhints.html">bitmap images</a> brought into to Scribus as placed images should have a minimum resolution of 200 dpi and preferably 300 dpi or more for photos or TIFFs. For line art or vector graphics converted to a bitmap image, an even higher resolution may be necessary for best results. Most vector files can be <a href="importhints2.html">imported directly</a> as native Scribus objects, which is recommended if possible. Output target in the PDF Export dialog: “Printer,” unless you export to <a href="pdfx3.html">PDF/X-3</a>.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Print Optimized:</strong> This would mean targeting the PDF for printing on an office laser-jet or ink-jet. Recommended settings: Down-sample all images to 300 dpi or less, embed fonts and keep your page margins with enough tolerance for margin limits on desktop and common office printers (approx. 6/10th of an inch or 1.5 cm). <b>Do not choose “Printer” as an output target, but use “Screen/Web” instead, as ink-jet and laser-jet printers expect RGB input.</b>
</li>

<strong>Web download, screen reading, interactive forms:</strong> See the section on <a href="pdfexport3.html">Screen/Web export</a>.
</li>

<strong>Presentation Effects:</strong> See the section on <a href="pdfexport4.html">PDF presentations</a>.
