At the finest grain level it will be the vectors for the individual glyphs and other graphic elements. What you quickly find is that it is groups of groups of groups. Now, it is important to click somewhere outside of your selection, then click inside again. Typically you don't see much change, since many PDFs have a series of containers.
So Ungroup again, click outside, then click in again. Keep this up until you end up with a selection that only highlights a sentence.
You probably don't need to go farther that this, unless you need to edit down to the glyph level. Other check boxes on the tab give you the option of including navigation aids such as thumbnails, PDF articles, and Bookmarks.
If you choose PDF version 1. For printing, you want at least the default of dpi, although you can go higher if the graphics themselves support it. Conversely, for online use, you can go as low as 72dpi, and keep the output from being unnecessarily large.
At the bottom of the tab, you can also adjust the compression for text and any vector graphic formats. Many printers prefer the Lossless-Zip option, with maximum compression. As with EPS graphics, you can also set the maximum image resolution. Normally, PDF files embed only a sub-set of characters to save space. However, if you are willing to trade off file size, you can embed the complete font, which makes rendering and printing more reliable, especially if any difficulties arise.
On the Font tab, you can choose which fonts to embed. Usually, the font most often used for the body of the text is the first you will want to embed.
In some cases, the limitations of the metrics contained in the font files will mean that only the outlines of fonts can be embedded -- a sort of second best option that is still better than nothing. The vaguely-named and strangely placed Extras tab is for those who want to use PDF output for a presentation. By selecting Enable Presentation Effects, you can set transition animations suitable for a slide show, selecting from a small set of effects, and setting the time that they display and the timing between slides as well as other details.
On the Viewer tab, you can set the default display of the PDF output. The default is a single page, but the two page spread of Double Page Left is also a popular choice. Continuous, in which the document scrolls, and the two page spread of Double Page Right are less commonly used. As well as the page spread, you can also choose what else is displayed, such as bookmarks and thumbnails.
