Flash glossary: Publish profile
Publish profiles in Adobe Flash Professional enable you to save a publish-setting configuration, export it, and import the publish profile to other documents or for others to use. You can import publish profiles to use in your document and you can create profiles to publish in several media formats.
Publish profiles are helpful because you can create a standard publish profile for your development team to ensure that files are published uniformly. You can also create a publish profile for use on your personal projects and another to use when publishing files for your clients.
Publish profiles are saved at the document level, as opposed to the application level.
To create a publish profile, follow these steps:
- In the Publish Settings dialog box, click the Create New Profile button.
- Name the publish profile and click OK.
- Specify the publish settings for your document and click OK.
If you want to duplicate, modify, or delete a publish profile, choose File > Publish Settings and then select the publish profile to use:
- To create a duplicate profile, click the Duplicate Profile button. Enter the profile name in the Duplicate Name text field and click OK.
- To modify a publish profile, specify the new publish settings for your document and click OK.
- To delete a publish profile, click the Delete Profile button and click OK.
To export a publish profile, follow these steps:
- From the Current Profile pop‑up menu (File > Publish Settings), select the publish profile to export.
- Click the Import/Export Profile button and select Export. Export a publish profile as an XML file for importing into other documents.
- Either accept the default location in which to save the publish profile or browse to a new location and click Save.
To learn more about working with publish profiles, see the section titled Using publish profiles in the Flash documentation.
