4. Primary FormatSelect which format you want as a default setting for your document. You can choose between Flash, HTML4 and HTML5.

5. Fall back FormatIf for any reason the browser doesn’t support your preferred format, you can select a fall back format insuring that your document will always be displayed. Choose between Flash, HTML4 and HTML5.

6. Text ResolutionSelect between optimized and maximum text resolution. Optimized mode will render the document faster but with lesser sharpness whilst maximum text resolution might slow the experience a little, but will deliver crisp sharp text resolution.

7. Image ResolutionSelect between optimized, maximum or low image resolution. A publication with lots of images can be heavy for the browser to publish and will therefore take longer to load and flip through. The most common image resolution for the web is 72 dpi.

8. Rasterize ModeSelect to have no rasterization or to rasterize vectors. This affects how vector illustrations are rendered when viewing your document. Having no rasterization selected typically results in higher resolution of your document and turning rasterization on will result in a somewhat faster viewing experience.
