• Loads PDF 1.4 files
• Loads PostScript Language Level 3 files
• Loads EPS files
• Support is provided for loading the entire document or a specified set of sequential pages

The plug-in provides a number of options for controlling the rasterization± of the page, including:

• Pixel depth - Valid values are 1,4,8 and 24
• Horizontal resolution in dots per inch
• Vertical resolution in dots per inch
• Ability to use fonts installed by the plug-in or system fonts
• Font anti-aliasing - Valid values are 1-bit(no anti-aliasing) , 2-bit and 4-bit
• Graphics anti-aliasing - 1-bit , 2-bit and 4-bit

Saving Capabilities

Full multi-page write support is provided by this module for the PDF format. You can append, insert, replace or delete a specified page in the generated PDF file.

The plug-in gives you a wide range of control options for the resulting image data in terms of compression. These include:

• No compression, where the image is embedded inside the file without any compression
• Compressed using CCITT Group 3, 1 dimension. For 1-bit images
• Compressed using CCITT Group 3, 2 dimensions. For 1-bit images
• Compressed using CCITT Group 4. For 1-bit images
• JPEG compression and YUV 4:4:4 color space loss-less. Bits per pixel: 8 for grayscale, 24 for color
• JPEG compression and YUV 4:2:2 color space. Bits per pixel: 8 for grayscale, 24 for color
• JPEG compression and YUV 4:1:1 color space. Bits per pixel: 8 for grayscale, 24 for color
• JBIG2 compression. Bits per pixel: 1

The plug-in also gives you control over the type of encoding to be used in order to change compressed image data into a text encoded format. The text encoding techniques include:

• No text encoding at all.
• Use ASCII 85 text encoding algorithm
• Use ASCII HEX text encoding technique

Encryption/Decryption
