PDF Document Requirements
=========================================
- Minimum PDF Version: Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5)
- Maximum size: 500 MB
- Maximum 0.5 MB / Page
- All pages must have the same dimensions
- Text which should be searchable must be text (not outlines or images)
- Editing password is required for password protected PDF Documents


Best Practice for Exporting PDF Documents
=========================================
- Use Adobe PDF and the Zmags PDF Preset for optimal results
- Export for compatibility with Acrobat 7 (PDF 1.6)
- Disable Spreads
- Exclude Interactive Elements
- Rasterize all text layers.
- Downsample images to 200 pixels per inch (DPI)
- Disable crop marks (marks and bleed)
- Enable color conversion to destination with sRGB and an included destination profile
- Subset fonts when percent of characters used is less than 100%
- Disable Password Protection


Known Limitations
=================
PDF Links in PDF Documents are discarded
 - Solution: We are working on a fix scheduled for mid december 2009. Until then convert 
   the PDF Document and Change the PDF File from Edit Publication > Pages, then run Auto 
   Links to establish all the PDF Links.

PDF Forms and Multimedia Objects (audio, video and flash) are discarded
 - Solution: Recreate the forms and multimedia in the Enriched within the Publicator.

Pages with a different size than the first page will be resized to the size of the first page
 - Solution: Use the same page size throughout the PDF Document.

Spread PDF Documents with back and front side combined as the first spread won't be recognized
 - Solution: Make sure that the first page is the front side of the cover page and the back side
   of the cover page is the last page in the PDF Document.

Rotated pages and Powerpoint Exports may show up incorrectly
 - Solution: When exporting the PDF Document, use Print to PDF instead of export.
