General Options

The General Options apply to all destination formats and include:
  • Convert characters to strings - When checked, combines text characters into one-line text which are fully editable in the target application. Recommended.
  • Convert characters to curves - When checked, characters will be converted into Bezier curves (vector formats only). Also known as outlining, this feature ensures WYSIWYG rendering in the target application even if the used fonts are not available. 
  • Emulate PS/PDF cropping - PostScript and PDF support cropping features that several vector output formats do not. When checked, PDF FLY will attempt to intelligently recreate the cropping in the original file using the format-specific features available in the target format.
  • Ignore images - When checked, raster images in the source file are not included in the output file.
  • Ignore text - When checked, font text strings in the source file are not included in the output file.
  • Ignore paths - When checked, vector graphics in the source files are not included in the output file.
  • Rotate output by [ 0 ] degrees - Set to 90 to rotate output clockwise by 90 degrees, -90 for counterclockwise, 180 for upside down, or any other angle desired.
  • Add margin [ 0 ] - Increases the bounding box around the objects in the file by specified measure (metric or inches determined by your operating systems settings) to add white space around the object.
  • Set clipping rectangle - When applied, converts only the objects within that clipping rectangle.
