[Image Output] Tab


This section describes each item on the [Image Output] tab of the SkyPDF Pro MT Driver Settings screen.

The [Image Output] tab allows you to convert all or part of the displayed content of the original document into an image to be output as a PDF.

(Image)

Regular Output

A regular output method. 
Select if you do not want the displayed content of the original document to be an image.

Output after Partially Composing Image

If the ROP that is not supported in this product is detected, only that portion is outputted as an image.It provides higher reproducibility of the original document than [Regular Output], while the printing speed will be slow.

Output after Composing Image

Whether it is supported or not, ROP is outputted as all image.

It provides higher reproducibility of the original document than [Regular Output] and [Output after Partially Composing Image], while the printing speed will be slow.

ImagePDF

This function converts the displayed content of the original document into an image for creating a PDF file.Outputting the content as an image enables you to reproduce a complicated drawing instruction that cannot be converted into a PDF file.

Embed transparency Text

Reads text from the original document and embeds it as transparent text.
Because text is also output as an image, it is generally impossible to perform word search and text copy in an image PDF.
However, scanning text content and embedding it as transparent text make it possible to perform word search and text copy.

Can only be set when [Output image PDF] is selected.

Images Resolution

Set resolution (the number of pixels per inch). 
Generally, the higher resolution, the more accurate the document layout will be, while the file size will become larger as well.
Can only be set when [Output image PDF] is selected.

  • If PDF is just for displaying on the monitor, it doesn't matter even though the resolution are 150 dpi or less.
  • If you want to output a PDF file without changing the layout of the original document or perform high-quality printing, please specify the resolution of 300dpi or greater. 
Select to Image Color

Set the color of image to be created (monochrome / grayscale / full color). 
Can only be set when [Output image PDF] is selected.

Downsampling of ImagePDF

Set the decrease image's sample point and the resolution (must be 72dpi or greater) to perform downsampling.
Specifying the decrease image's sample point and the resolution of downsampling reduces the number of pixels to the resolution which is designated by the selected decrease image's sample point, if the original document has an image with higher resolution than the designated resolution.
Can only be set when [Output image PDF] is selected.
(For further information see the chapter on: [Compression Options] Tab.)

ImagePDF Compression

Put a check in the box to compress an image and select an appropriate compression format.
Can only be set when [Output image PDF] is selected.

(For further information see the chapter on: [Compression Options] Tab.)

If you need only the selected pages, please put a check in the [Printout the selected pages only] box.
Can only be set when [Output image PDF] is selected.
