Web Capture preferences in Acrobat

You can set several preferences for opening PDFs created from web pages and for customizing the process of converting web pages to PDFs. To open the Web Capture Preferences, choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Acrobat > Preferences (Mac OS) and select Web Capture under Categories.

Verify Stored Images

Specifies how often to check whether images on the website have changed.

Show Bookmarks Panel When New PDF File (Created From Web Page) Is Opened

When selected, automatically opens the navigation pane and displays tagged bookmarks when you open a new file. (When deselected, the navigation pane is closed when you open converted web pages, but the tagged bookmarks are still created. Click the Bookmarks button to see the tagged bookmarks in the navigation pane.)

Skip Downloading Secured Pages

Select Always to skip secured pages when downloading multiple levels of a website. If you select After, a password dialog box appears that times out and skips the secured pages after the specified number of seconds.

Reset Conversion Settings To Defaults

Changes the options in the Web Page Conversion Settings dialog box back to the original settings.

Note: If you select this option, the settings revert immediately and irreversibly. If you want to restore your custom conversion options, you must enter each of those settings again.
