Last updated on Aug 16, 2025

Learn how to share custom PDF presets for Acrobat Distiller.

Custom PDF settings let you create PDFs that meet specific requirements for quality, file size, and compatibility. Sharing these settings ensures consistency when multiple people need to create PDFs with the exact specifications.

Navigate to the folder where your custom PDF settings are stored:
Windows: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings

macOS: Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings

Locate and copy the .joboptions file that contains your custom settings.

Attach the file to an email or upload it to an online drive to share it with others.

Note

To add a custom PDF setting in Acrobat Distiller, select Settings > Add Adobe PDF Settings, browse to the shared .joboptions file, select it, and then select Open.
