Purpose of Converter PDF Adobe Advanced Options

I am curious about the purpose of the " Advanced Options " (also called " Advanced Document Settings " "") for the Adobe PDF virtual printer.  For example access from an application via

Print(.. . Select Adobe PDF as printer) > Properties > Layout > Advanced .

I've included a screenshot for clarity.

Options include the Paper Size .  Above all, I am interested in the creation of PDF to MS Word documents, and the layout in Word would negate the Paper Size option, I'm pretty sure.

There is an option for Print Quality .  But the joboptions files (profiles accessed via ... > Properties > Adobe PDF Settings > Default Settings/Edit ) seem to control the ultimate resolution output printing.

There is an option for PostScript Output Option , with possible selections including " Optimize for Portability "and" Archive Format ". ""  I'm interested in the PDF/A output, but these two evocative PostScript options appear only useful if the postscript file was going to be created/used/manipulated.  It seems that nowadays the postscript file is not usually explicitly created, but serves as a 'hidden' intermediate in the creation of the PDF file.  See also http://www.freeframers.org/archive/01/msg00050.html

Am I right to conclude that the 'Advanced' options are a feature inherited , not useful to anyone who creates PDF files in a single step - instead of printing to a file in postscript format, followed by the creation of PDF files using the Distiller?

I pretty much agree. However, the print quality may be a great. I use 300 dpi and a lot of people recommend 600 dpi. The 1200 dpi is well beyond what is normally required. A place where the 1200 is a major problem is in preparation of slides in PDF format. If you have drawn with lines of 1 pixel color, they will be 1200 dpi. Imagine the problems when viewing on a 96 dpi screen, a factor of more than 12 less pixels. A yellow line 1 pixel is almost unreadable because of the way the line is sampled for display. If 300 dpi is used for print quality, then there is no problem. I found this one on the hard.

Most of the other settings let you alone, or change somewhere else.

In your example of another post DOC file, your A4 came out as a letter for me. The paper defined in the DOC file is A4. My default in Acrobat's letter. Thus, the WORD does NOT replace the printer setting. You must set the paper in the printer separately, similar to the right paper in the printer.

I'm still struggling with all the differences that you are trying to report on your other post. There are differences, but I am not sure of the reason. You might want to look at a page in the PDF document audit optimize see were the resources are used.
