Animated GIF, GIF Sequence, and GIF Image

This option lets you export files in the GIF format. The settings are the same as those available on the GIF tab in the Publish Settings dialog box, with the following exceptions:

Resolution is set in dots per inch (dpi). You can enter a resolution or click Match Screen to use the screen resolution.

Include lets you choose to export the minimum image area or specify the full document size.

Colors lets you set the number of colors that can be used to create the exported image—black-and-white; 4-, 6-, 16-, 32-, 64-, 128-, or 256- colors; or Standard Color (the standard 216-color, browser-safe palette).

You can also choose to interlace, smooth, make transparent, or dither solid colors. For information on these options, see Choosing publish settings for GIF files.

Animation is available for the Animated GIF export format only and lets you enter the number of repetitions, where 0 repeats endlessly.
