Animated GIF, GIF Sequence, and GIF Image
The settings are the same as those on the GIF tab in the Publish Settings dialog box, with the following exceptions:
Resolution
Set in dots per inch (dpi). To use the screen resolution, enter a resolution or click Match Screen.
Include
Export the minimum image area or the full document size.
Colors
Set the number of colors that can be used to create the exported image. The color choices are: black and white,
4, 6, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256-colors; or Standard Color (the standard 216-color, browser-safe palette).
Animation
Available for the Animated GIF export format only. Enter the number of repetitions, where 0 repeats
endlessly.

Bitmap (BMP) Sequence and Bitmap Image
Create bitmap images for use in other applications. The Export Bitmap dialog box has the following options:
Dimensions
Sets the size of the exported bitmap image in pixels. The size you specify always has the same aspect
ratio as your original image.
Resolution
Sets the resolution of the exported bitmap image in dots per inch (dpi) and automatically calculates
width and height based on the size of your drawing. To set the resolution to match your monitor, select Match Screen.
Color Depth
Specifies the bit depth of the image. Some Windows applications do not support the newer 32-bit per
channel (bpc) depth for bitmap images; if you have problems using a 32-bpc format, use the 24-bpc format.
Smooth
Applies anti-aliasing to the exported bitmap. Anti-aliasing produces a higher-quality bitmap image, but it
can create a halo of gray pixels around an image placed on a colored background. Deselect if a halo appears.
DXF Sequence and AutoCAD DXF Image
Export as AutoCAD DXF 10 files, for additional editing in a DXF-compatible application.
This format has no definable export options.
Enhanced Metafile (EMF) Sequence and Image (Windows)
A graphics format available in Windows XP and Windows Vista that saves both vector and bitmap information. EMF
supports the curves used in Flash drawings better than the older Windows Metafile format. However, some applica-
tions do not support this graphics format.
This format has no definable export options.
Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) 3.0 with Preview
You can export the current frame as an EPS 3.0 file for placement in another application, such as a page layout appli-
cation. A PostScript printer can print an EPS file. You can include a bitmap preview with the exported EPS file for
applications that can import and print the EPS files (such as Microsoft Word and Adobe® PageMaker®) but that can’t
display them onscreen.
This format has no definable exporting options.
