PDF file.

Page Setup settings in applications such as Microsoft
Word may override some General settings made in PDF Create.
Paper Size
Select Standard and then choose
a page size from the pull–down list, or choose Custom
and specify the page dimensions and margins.
Click Add to define or modify
additional standard page sizes using page dimensions you specify.
Orientation
Select Portrait or Landscape.
Resolution
This setting influences character spacing, line breaks, and image quality.
Usually, higher resolution produces a more accurate layout but a larger
file size.
Select a resolution: Screen
(72 dpi), Low (150 dpi), Medium (300 dpi), High
(600 dpi), 1200 or 2400
dpi (dots per inch).
Low resolution is ideal for screen viewing. However, if you require
high-quality hard copy, or accurate control of character position, choose
a resolution of at least 600 dpi.
Scale
Specify whether to reduce or enlarge a document, and by what percentage,
between 1 and 1000 percent.
Enter a value less than 100 percent to reduce the size of the text and
images on the page; enter a value greater than 100 percent to enlarge
them.
View Resulting PDF
Select this option to view the PDF file. By default it is selected.

The PDF Settings Tab provides controls for Compatibility,
Web optimizing, Destination
