Local Files
You can enable or disable next options:

- Detect file names and convert them to PDF links. If this option is enabled, the text in the printed document will be parsed and texts that will match a file name, including its path, will be marked in the PDF as links to file.

- Check file exists for linking. If this option is enabled, there will be a check if the file really exists and the PDF links will be added only if the file is found. Take care that the printing and PDF generation is made on the printing server computer, so if linked files are on another computer in the network, you should mention them in the printed document with their UNC path.
