The PDF export creates documents in the Portable Document Format. This format can be viewed platform-independently with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader® software.
Limitations
Besides others, the following hints and limitations should be considered:
▪ Fonts are automatically recognized and dynamically embedded if necessary.
▪ Not all EMF records can be displayed accurately – if you are using complex EMFs, you should pass them as bitmaps or choose "export as picture" in the designer.
▪ Lines/Frames that are dashed/dotted in the layout may have a different spacing. In addition, each dash/dot is displayed as a single PDF record. To keep the resulting file size small, continuous lines/frames should be used for PDF export.
▪ Note for PDF/A:
o When using form elements in combination with PDF/A, PDF/A conformity cannot be maintained and the form elements are deactivated.
o All fonts are always embedded.
o Encryption is not supported.
