- Foxit Conversion Settings – Shows the description of the default setting you select in the Default Settings menu.
- Default Settings - chooses a type of conversion quality as the default setting. There are six predefined sets of default settings shown as below. You can click Edit to create and modify your customized default settings as needed. See also Create and modify your customized default settings.
- High Quality Print: creates PDF files for high quality print but with relatively large file sizes.
- PDF/A-1b: creates PDF files in compliance with the PDF/A-1b standard.
- PDF/UA-1: creates PDF files in compliance with the PDF/UA standard. This option is only available when you create PDFs from the Foxit PDF Editor add-in in Microsoft Office.
- Smallest File Size: creates PDF files used for web distribution.
- Standard: creates PDF files with a balance between print quality and file size.
- USPTO: creates PDF files that are compliant with USPTO (the United States Patent and Trademark Office) standards.
- Target Folder – You can click Browse to specify a default destination folder to store all of the PDF files generated, and the names of the generated PDF files will be the same as the originals by default. With no target folder specified:
- If you choose Prompt for file name, a dialog box will prompt for you to specify a name and location for the PDF.
- If you choose Documents/*.pdf, the generated PDF files will be automatically saved to the My Documents or Documents folder based on the version of Windows. (Note: With Documents/*.pdf selected, if you print PDFs in RTV tools such as RTV Xporter, the generated PDFs will be saved to the folder specified in RTV tools.)
- If File Exists – If a PDF file that has the same name and path as the generated PDF file already exists, you can choose any of the following:
- Overwrite existing file: replaces the existing file with the generated file.
- Add a numeric suffix: adds a numeric suffix to the name of the generated document automatically to avoid overwriting the existing files.
- Prompt User: prompts you to specify the location and the name for the generated document during PDF creation.
- Insert before existing file: inserts the generated PDF at the beginning of the existing file. If the existing file is a PDF portfolio, the generated PDF will be added as a component file in the portfolio. (Note: If the existing file is encrypted, inaccessible, or an XFA file, or due to unknown errors, the operation will fail and a .log file automatically opens to show the detailed information.)
- Insert after existing file: inserts the generated PDF at the end of the existing file. If the existing file is a PDF portfolio, the generated PDF will be added as a component file in the portfolio. (Note: If the existing file is encrypted, inaccessible, or an XFA file, or due to unknown errors, the operation will fail and a .log file automatically opens to show the detailed information.)
- Target File – If you have chosen Insert before existing file or Insert after existing file in the If File Exists item, you can browse and select the target file, or choose Prompt User and you will be prompted to choose the target file when creating PDFs.
- Color – Prints content in a color file to shades of gray, in colors or only in black and white colors.
- Resolution - allows you to input a DPI (dot per inch) level for image resolution. The valid level value is between 72 -2400.
- View PDF Results – Once the conversion is finished, the converted PDF will be opened with Foxit PDF Editor automatically. This option is checked by default.
