| 55 Creating Accessible PDF Files Using Authoring Applications

features that create PDFs, such as Acrobat Distiller, PDFMaker, and the Acrobat

application itself.

• Create PDF/A Compliant PDF File . Creates the PDF so that it conforms to this ISO

standard for long-term preservation of electronic documents. (In the Microsoft Publisher

application alone, PDFMaker does not support the PDF/A standard.)

Note: When Conversion Settings are opened from within Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, this

option specifies PDF/A 1-a:2005. When opened from within Microsoft Visio, Access,

Microsoft Project, or AutoCAD, it specifies PDF/A 1-b:2005.

• Attach Source File . Includes the Word document that is being converted as an

attachment to the resulting PDF.

• Create Bookmarks . Converts certain elements in original Office documents to PDF

bookmarks: Word headings, Excel worksheet names, or PowerPoint titles. Selecting this

option overrides any settings on the Bookmarks tab of the Conversion Settings dialog box.

• Add Links . Includes active links and hypertext in the PDF.

Note: If this option is deselected, but the recipient of the PDF has the Create Links From URLs

preference selected, URLs in the PDF are still active. For more information, see

Preferences for viewing PDFs.

• Enable Accessibility And Reflow With Tagged Adobe PDF . Embeds tags in the PDF

(on by default).
