3. PDF export feature requests

PDF export feature requests

  • T

    I have a few feature requests for PDF export.

    1. Correct me if I'm wrong, but currently the only way to export a print-ready PDF with bleed and crop marks is via the Print command. That's not right. I don't print anything, I just want to export a print-ready PDF. Besides, the print dialog is overly complicated, with lots of options that are not relevant for a simple PDF export operation.
    2. Revamp the Export to PDF feature to include presets for exporting digital PDFs and print-ready PDFs, including options for bleed, printer marks, color conversion, spot colors (options to keep them intact, or convert them to CMYK). Basically, when I'm done working on something, I just want to pick a "press-ready" preset that I know it'll just work for printing. Or a "digital-small size" preset when I just need a file I can send via email.
    3. Add support for various PDF/X standards when exporting PDFs. << EDIT: I just noticed the roadmap and these are planned for Phase 5.

    @tudor I will try to bring these a bit earlier if time allows!
    But yes, the PDF exporting could contain more options similar to print, since these already exist.
