 <li><strong>Preset Layouts</strong> will be available for anything other than Single Page layout. What these represent are some time-honored ways to set the margins of the page, many based on some mathematical approach related to the dimensions of the page. Below we see the contrast of these various methods – these are all right pages of a double-sided layout.</li>

 <li>If you choose <i>None</i> for the preset, then you can manually set each margin. If you check <strong>Link</strong> then all margin values are the same and change together. Note that except for Single Page display, there are <i>Inside</i> and <i>Outside</i> margins instead of <i>Left</i> and <i>Right</i>, so they are placed differently for left and right pages. Clicking the <strong>Printer Margins</strong> button allows you to set margins according to your local printer. The dialog shows the minimum margins for you printer, which you might just use as a reference.</li>
 <li>Using <strong>Bleeds</strong> requires an understanding of how they are used. The bleed space is designed to be trimmed off after printing, and allows for whatever is printed to come to the absolute edge of the paper. A typical bleed amount might be 1/8 inch (9 points) in the US, or 3 mm in Europe. If you begin with a standard paper size such as A4, the bleed width is <i>added</i> to the dimensions of that paper.</li>

A new setting is that instead of the grid consisting of lines as you see here, there can be crosses to mark the major grid intersections and dots for the lines.</p></td>

 <br />There are <strong>Compression</strong> settings, mainly useful for images, to limit image resolution in the PDF in order to reduce the size of the PDF file.

You can then choose which kinds of access you might forbid or allow, such as printing, copying, editing, or adding any annotations. If you have chosen any of the PDF/X types for output, you will not have the Security feature as an option.</li>
 <li>Color – If you are going to have your PDF commercially printed, you will likely want to discuss appropriate settings for this tab. <strong>Output Intended For:</strong> should be set for <i>Printer</i> if you are having this commercially printed. For an online document or if you will print on the printer attached to your computer, choose <i>Screen/Web</i>, You can also choose <i>Grayscale</i> if appropriate. You may choose ICC profiles in this tab, except when you have chosen one of the PDF/X types. <strong>Custom Rendering</strong> should only be set when you are instructed to by your printer, and with the settings recommended.</li>
-<li>Pre-Press – in this tab you can choose to create <strong>Crop Marks, Bleed Marks, Color Bars, Registration,</strong> and <strong>Page Informtion</strong>, which are all separate from having bleed on the page. Also note that you can make <strong>Bleed Settings</strong> here, as well as on the Document. If you have set these for the Document, then you may safely leave these at 0, since you have the option when exporting to use the Document bleed settings. The difference between the two is that if bleed is set here but not on the Document, you will not see the bleed space as you work in Scribus, and it will be added at export. If you have chosen one of the PDF/X types for output, you will be able to edit the InfoString.</li>
