General

 

Save Filename Action Controls the filename of the resulting PDF file.
Valid Values  Description
Use the 'Default Directory' and 'Default Save Filename' Use the values for "Default Directory" and "Default Filename" to generate a file name. This file will be overwritten without any prompting.
 
Use document title as filename Use the document title for the filename. The file will be saved in the "Default Directory". The document title is obtained from the pDocName member of the DOC_INFO_1 print job structure. 
This gives developers the opportunity to control the filename programmatically.
Note that the value may be automatically converted into a legal filename if it contains illegal filename characters. 
 
Random number as filename A random number is used for the filename prefix. e.g. "45389328.pdf"  

 
Default Directory The directory that is used to store the PDF file in.
Default Filename The filename that is always used.
Printer Resolution (DPI) Defines the resolution that is used by the printer driver in dots per inch. This usually has little effect on file size but controls the precision with which text and graphics are placed.
Image Resolution (DPI) The resolution that images are 'down-sampled' to measured in dots per inch. Sometimes images are sampled at a high DPI for better results when printing to high-end printers. These high DPI sampled images result in larger PDF files. Screen resolution is 96 DPI, which is a good setting for PDF files intended solely for screen viewing.
JPEG Quality High quality results in larger PDF files, low quality smaller PDF files. "No JPEG" means JPEG compression is not used - "Flate" compression is used which is not "lossy" like JPEG.
Auto append When checked, PDF's are automatically appended to the currently open PDF in the pdfMachine viewer. If not checked, a separate viewer is launched for each print job.

If this machine is designated a "print server", these files are used upon installation of network printer clients in "point & print" installations. This enables network administrators to customise installations.

The first file contains the initialisation parameters for Win NT/2000/XP printer clients, the second one contains the same parameters but is used for is the Win9X network client installs.
