Hello everybody! Where can I change or delete settings for PDF in Illustrator? I´m talking about the settings you can choose or also create and save while creating a PDF in Illustrator (like f.e. PDFX4)? Thanks for help!

How-to

Correct answer Kurt Gold

In Illustrator, go to Edit menu > Adobe PDF Presets.

There you can find and edit / delete your custom presets.

User-created settings files will be in Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings (on Windows).

Thank you Dough, I found the standard ones (on Mac), but not the self created.

On Mac the path will be similar but from User/Library/Preferences
