Settings

The printer is controlled by settings in a set of ini files. Please see the section about configuration files for more information.

Here is a sample of a settings.ini file.

settings

If you use this printer from a program it is possible to change the settings directly from within your program. Take a look at the API documentation for more information on programmatic control.

You can change the settings listed in the table below.

SettingDescription
PDF Printer Settings
Output

The output setting allows you to direct the output of the PDF printer to a specific file. When this setting is set the printer will not ask the user for a destination file name. When setting the output it must specify a valid file name including the full path for a PDF document. I.e. C:\TEMP\TEST.PDF where c:\temp is a valid folder. If the output folder does not exist then the PDF generation will fail.

The output setting allows macro names as part of the file name. The following macro names can be used:

<date>The current date in the format yyyy-mm-dd. more...
<time>The current time in the format hh.mm.ss. more...
<username>Logged on user. more...
<computername>Computer name. more...
<title>Title of the printed document. more...
<author>Author of the printed document. more...
<guid>System generated GUID. more...
<docname>Document name. more...
<basedocname>Base part of the document name. This macro gives you the part of document name up to the last dot. If the document name is a file name then the resulting value is the file name without an extension. more...
<personal>Location of personal files. more...
<env:environmentstring> This macro allows you to query the values of the environment variables. I.e. <env:username> is substituted with the logged in user name. more...
<pageno> Page number for use in image creation. When creating images there will typically be one output file for each page in the original document. By using additional information in the <pageno> macro, you can control the padding width and character. <pageno,3> will pad the page number to a width of 3 characters (001, 002, etc.). <pageno,3,-> will use a dash as padding character and produce a different result (--1, --2, etc.). more...
<counter>The value of a system counter. more...
<utc>The current UTC date and time. more...
<now>The current date and time. more...
<ticks>A large integer that represents the number of 100-nanosecond intervals that have elapsed since 12:00:00 midnight, January 1, 0001. more...
<vbs:function> Call a VB Script function and insert the return value of this function. The function must be in a .vbs file in the MacroDir. You can also write VB Script expressions directly in the macro. I.e. <vbs:MyFunction> is substituted with the return value of a function named MyFunction. <vbs:2+2> is substitured with 4. more...

When using the macro names in the settings.ini file the output parameter could look something like this:

Output=<env:appdata>\<docname> <date>.pdf

SmarttitleFind1 and SmarttitleReplace1 If you use the <smarttitle> tag in the output setting, it will use some built-in settings to find and replace text from the file name. With the settings SmarttitleFind1 and SmarttitleReplace1 you can extend the set of find and replace strings used by the smarttitle macro tag.

Example:

SmarttitleFind1=abc
SmarttitleReplace1=ABC
SmarttitleFind2=123
SmarttitleReplace2=

These lines in the configuration will search for abc and replace it with ABC. It will also search for 123 and remove it.
ConfirmOverwriteDetermines if the user has to confirm the overwrite of an existing PDF file.
values: yes (default), no
ConfirmNewFolderWarn the user before creating new folders if the output file name contains folders that does not exist yet.
values: yes (default), no
ShowSaveASWhen should the "Save AS" dialog be shown? If you use the "nofile" setting then the dialog is only shown if no output setting is specified.
values: nofile (default), always, never.
ShowSettingsThis setting determines if the user will see the settings dialog when a PDF is created.
values: always, never.
ShowPDFSpecifies if the resulting PDF file should be shown after generation. This setting can have the following values: yes, no, ask.
OpenFolderSetting openfolder=yes will open the output folder in the file explorer when the conversion is done.
values: yes, no (default).
AfterPrintProgramThe AfterPrintProgram setting is a hook into the printing process. If you specify this setting it must contain a valid command line that will be launched when the PDF document is created. The command line can include the %1 token that will be substituted with the full path of the created PDF file. %2 will be the number of pages created. %3 is the number of files created. %4 is the path the status file. The command specified here will run regardless of the result of the document creation. For conditional command lines you should use RunOnSuccess and RunOnError.

AfterPrintProgramDirYou can use this setting to specify the current directory for the execution of the AfterPrintProgram command line.
Read more
AfterPrintProgramMode
version 7.1.0.1150
The mode is used to control if the program is started as hidden, normal, minimized, or maximized.
values: normal (default), hide, minimized, maximized.
Read more
RunOnSuccessLike the AfterPrintProgram setting this specifies a command line that will be executed if the document was successfully created. %1, %2, %3 and %4 will have the same function as with AfterPrintProgram.
Read more
RunOnSuccessDirUsing this setting you can optionally set the current directory when the RunOnSuccess command line is executed.
Read more
RunOnSuccessMode
version 7.1.0.1150
Works like AfterPrintProgramMode for the RunOnSuccess setting.
Read more
RunOnErrorA command line that should be run in case of an error. %1, %2, %3 and %4 will have the same function as with AfterPrintProgram. You should consider setting SuppressErrors=yes when you use the RunOnError setting.

StatusFileThe full path of a file name used as a status file. A status file is created after the print job. This file holds information about the last operation.
StatusFileEncoding
version 7.0.0.915
This setting determines the character encoding of the status file set in the StatusFile setting. The default is Unicode encoding without the 0xFF 0xFE header. If you use the Unicode value for this setting then the file will have the header bytes. By default it is left out for backward compatibility.
values: ASCII, Unicode.
ShowProgressUsing this setting you can optionally disable the progress notification in the system tray. By default the progress indicator is shown.
values: yes, no.
ShowProgressFinishedThe current version shows a balloon tip when the document is created. You can disable this tip by setting this value to no.
values: no, yes.
DisableOptionDialogDisable the user from running the printer options program. The most common place for this setting is in the global.ini file.
values: yes, no.
GhostscriptTimeoutUse this setting to change the timeout value for Ghostscript operations. If your print jobs are very large, the default timeout of 300 seconds may be too little. The value of this setting is the number of seconds the printer will wait for Ghostscript to finish creating the PDF document.
RememberLastFileNameRemember the last file name specified by the user.
values: yes, no (default).
RememberLastFolderNameRemember the last folder name specified by the user.
values: yes, no (default).
SuppressErrorsIf you choose to suppress errors then the dialog showing error information will not be shown. This is particular useful if you share the printer or use the RunOnError setting.
values: yes, no (default).
MacroDirBe default the printer scans the macros folder for VBS files when loading the VBScript macros. This setting can change location where the macros are loaded from.
values: any valid path to a folder.
LicenseFileLoad a different license file. With this setting you can make the printer load a different license file. By default it looks for a license.xml in the program folder of the printer. This setting is most often used in redistribution scenarios.
LicenseDataAs an alternative to the LicenseFile setting, you can use the LicenseData to set a specific license when creating a PDF. When you have a redistribution license, this is the preferred way to do it. Set the LicenseData value when you create your runonce.ini file using the API.

The license data you set in this value is something that you receive when you order the redistribution license.
ExtractTextTells the printer to make a text representation of the print job. This text can be parsed by event handlers in VBScript and used for setting document properties.
values: yes, no (default)
TextFileNameIf you use the ExtractText feature, you can use the TextFileName setting to tell the printer which file name and path to use when the saving the text file.
ImageCompressionBy default the images in your PDF document will be compressed to make the resulting document smaller in size. This compressiona can be turned on and off with this setting
values: no (default), yes
ImageCompressionType
version 10.12.0.2363
With the commercial distiller, you can choose which image compression type you want to use. Flate compression produces the best results with artificial images such as screenshots and diagrams. JPEG compression is better for photos. This setting only works with image compression turned on.
values: flate (default), jpeg
ImageCompressionLevel
version 10.12.0.2363
The commercial distiller supports different levels of compression. Choosing a higher level will normally result in a smaller document and longer processing times. This setting only works with image compression turned on.
values: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 (default)
ImageCompressionQuality
version 10.12.0.2363
When using JPEG compression with the commercial distiller, you can set the quality using this setting. The quality is specified as an integer from 0 to 100 (best). This setting only works with image compression turned on.
values: 0 - 100 (default is 75)
PDF Watermark Settings
WatermarkTextThe text you want in your watermark.
WatermarkRotationThe water mark can be rotated. Specify an integer value between 0 and 360. You can also specify the value 'c2c' or '-c2c'. This will rotate the watermark in the direction 'Corner to Corner'.

WatermarkOutlineWidthBy default the watermark is written with an outlined font. You can customize the with of the outline.
values: an integer value. (default = 2)
WatermarkLayerThe watermark can act both as a watermark and a stamp. Some applications prints in a way that will hide watermarks that are placed under the original print. Here it comes in handy to be able to place the text above the original print.
values: top (default), bottom.
WatermarkVerticalPositionThe vertical position of the watermark.
values: top, center (default), bottom.
WatermarkHorizontalPositionThe horizontal position of the watermark.
values: left, center (default), right.
WatermarkVerticalAdjustmentAdjustment in the vertical position of the watermark. The specified value is a percentage of the page height.
WatermarkHorizontalAdjustmentAdjustment in the horizontal position of the watermark. The specified value is a percentage of the page width.

Old description: An integer value between 1 and 100 indicating the size of the watermark text. The default value is 6.
PDF Merge Settings
MergeFileSpecifies a PDF file name if you want to merge the current output with an existing PDF file. Merge operations involving multiple documents are documented here
MergePositionIf you specify a merge file this parameter will determine the position of current PDF output in the merged result. Valid values are 'bottom' (append) and 'top' (prepend). The default is 'bottom', which will append your current PDF output to the PDF file specified in the MergeFile parameter.
SuperimposeWith the superimpose parameter you can lay two documents on top of each other. The superimpose parameter must point to a PDF file name, which will be the template. All pages of your current output will be created with the first page of the superimposed PDF file as background. Please note that if your current output paints the background you will not be able to see the template underneath.

Setting different backgrounds for individual pages
SuperimposeLayer
version 6
Much like the watermark layer setting you can also control if the superimposed document is placed over or under the current print job.
values: top, bottom (default).
SuperimposeResolution
version 6
When the superimposed document is prepared for the operation some parts of it is rasterized. Use the SuperimposeResolution setting to control the resolution used in this operation. A higher resolution will result in a better quality but also increase the size of the created document. If you are running the professional or expert editions then you can specify the value 'vector' instead of a number. This will normally produce the best result.
values: vector or 1 - 14400 (300 or 600 are fine for most documents).
PDF Security Settings
OwnerPasswordPassword for the owner of the document.
UserPasswordPassword for the users of the document.
KeyLengthSpecifies the length of the encryption key. Supported lengths are 40, 128, and 256 bits. The default key length is 128 bits. Later versions also support AES encryption.

ProducerThe PDF Producer as shown in the PDF properties.
PDF Display Settings
Zoom

Specifies the initial zoom factor of the PDF document when it is viewed. The value is the zoom factor in percent. If no zoom value is specified or the value is 0 (zero) then the initial view will fit the document to the window of the reader. Please note that not all viewers respect this setting.

You can also specify the constants fitall or fitwidth. fitall will set a zoom factor that will allow the whole page to be shown. This is the default value since version 4. fitwidth adjusts the zoom to the width of the page.

UseThumbsDetermines if the initial view of the document will include a list of thumbnail images for all the pages in the document.
values: yes, no (default).
AutoRotatePagesWhen a PDF is displayed in a PDF reader the page orientation is dictated by the PDF file. During the creation of a PDF file this orientation is written as a setting for each page in the file. The AutoRotatePages setting can help you control how this information is generated. If you enable auto rotation of pages then the orientation will be based on the content of the page. By leaving this setting blank you let the printer determine the orientation on a page by page basis. Automatic page rotation can be disabled if you specify none.
values: none, all.
OrientationBy using the orientation setting you can force the display of the pages to use a specific orientation. If the orientation is set then it will override the value of the AutoRotatePages setting. By default this setting is not set.
values: portrait, landscape, seascape, upsidedown.
LinearizeUsing the linearize feature you can make the first page of the PDF file display faster if it is opened from a web site and shown in a browser.
