ASCII Filter Options

ASCII Filter Options

Decrease Pointsize - Decreases the font size of all text strings in a file by X points during calculation of placement in ASCII output.

Absolute Pointsize - Sets a pointsize of X points for all text strings in a file during calculation of placement in ASCII output.

Kerning - Decreases spacing between characters by X mm (metric) or inches during calculation of placement in ASCII output.

Baseline Delta - The baseline delta determines how text is combined on one line or generated as separate lines based on its original baseline position. For example, if the baseline delta is zero, only the characters which have the same baseline would be combined into one line. Because many programs, especially forms programs, may not align text in an exact row, a baseline delta of up to 5mm or .2-inches is common to ensure the text of a complete, logical row is converted into one line.

Leading - Determines unit of vertical distance between text strings for white line(s) to be inserted in ASCII output.

TIP
Pages vary widely in the size and placement of text strings. These characteristics affect the ASCII output produced by the conversion. To optimize the results for any given print stream, a number of filter parameters must be finetuned. Please contact support@visual-integrity.com to determine the best possible settings for your files.
