Adobe PDF files can be created with or without security. Creating a secure PDF file allows you to restrict what can be done with the contents of the file. For instance, you can allow people to read and print the file but not be able to copy any of the text or images out of the file. Supported security options consist of two different levels of encryption, the ability to control what the viewer can do with PDF file, and two levels of password protection. Secure PDF files will take longer to create than non-secured files.

Endorsements are the placing of additional header and footer information at the top and bottom of each page. Header and footers can contain text such as titles and page numbers. The default height of both the header and the footer is 12 points; this can be adjusted individually as needed.

The Compression options allow you to choose how to compress the JPEG, TIFF, PNG, or non-searchable PDF files created. Compressing images generally reduces the amount of physical disk space needed to store the image. There are two main ways to reduce the size of the image: 1. Use the Color Options to reduce the number of colors used in the image. 2. Use the Compression option to compress the image data itself so it takes up less space.

Image processing allows you to copy each page of the document to a larger or smaller image using the Copy To feature, or to use the Resample options to change the size of the output image. The options shown here are applied to each page of the file after any previous processing, such as Page Processing, Fax/TIFF or Watermark options, are applied. Copy To - The concept of image copying is similar to enlarging or shrinking a page using a photocopier, with the added ability to position the page on the new image using the scaling and alignment options. Resample - The Resample feature allows you to scale the output image to a particular width and height in pixels, as a percentage of the original size, or by setting a new image resolution (DPI).

Page processing allows you to modify each page of the document. The options shown here are applied to each page of the file before any further processing, such as Image Processing, Fax/TIFF or Watermark options are applied. The following properties allow you to set the driver’s automatic cropping and trimming features. They can be used separately, or in conjunction with one another, to refine the image and change its dimensions during the output process. Rotation, Crop, Trim, Brightness Adjustment.

The Layout tab is used to select the paper size, print quality, orientation and page order of your output JPEG, TIFF, PNG, or non-searchable PDF files. Some of these options can be overridden by the settings chosen in other tabs. For instance, if you have Orientation set to Portrait but have also set rotation options for portrait pages on the Page Processing tab, the settings on the Page Processing tab will be used instead.

Using the Raster Image Printer to create JPEG, TIFF, PNG, or non-searchable PDF files is a simple, 3-step process: Print, select Driver Properties and Save your image file.

You can multiple instances of the Raster Image Printer on the same machine.

With Raster Image Printer you can set the number of print jobs that can be processed at the same time.
