Getting started
1. General settings

Here you can set up the most important PDF printer settings.

Destination folder By default your PDF files are stored into 'My PDF Files' subfolder of 'My Documents' folder. You can change the destination folder here.

View PDF after printing If you enable this option then newly created PDF files will be automatically viewed with your default PDF application.

Send PDF by e-mail This options allows you to send your new PDF files by e-mail using your default mail application. Each time you print a document with the PDF printer a new e-mail message is created which has the printed PDF as an attachment.

Show PDF Save Dialog Setting this option to 'Simple' allows you to select destination folder interactively for each document you print. 'Advanced' option for PDF Save Dialog also allows you to preview the document before printing and make some last-moment changes to the printing settings (available in Pro and Server editions only).

Paper size Select paper size for resulting PDF documents.

2. PDF options

Here you can set up some advanced PDF printer settings.

Use Standard Fonts Enabling this option substitutes four most common fonts (Courier, Arial, Times New Roman, Symbol) by their PDF built-in equivalents. This improves PDF visual quality and reduces its file size.

Fonts embedding True Type fonts embedding allows you to save extensive font information in your PDF files. Enabling font embedding increases file size but ensures your PDF will look just the same everywhere. If you disable this option your PDF document becomes smaller but its look may vary in different environments. 'Subset' option means partial fonts embedding. This option produces smaller files than the full embedding but it may cause some negative side-effects for sans-serif fonts (Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, etc.).

Advanced... You can fine-tune fonts settings by selecting Fonts substitution and/or Fonts embedding for each individual font. Compression options Compressing parts of PDF document greatly reduces file size while slightly increasing the time it takes to load the file into a PDF viewer. Disabling compression is not recommended unless you don't care for the file size.

3. PDF viewer options

Here you can tweak PDF viewer defaults that will be included in every PDF document created with the printer.

Initial view You can choose to initially display bookmarks panel or thumbnails panel. You can also choose to open the document in full screen mode.

Page layout Available option are one column (normal), continous (a single very long page), two columns (book layout) and two columns reversed (right-to-left book layout).

Magnification You can set magnification to 'fit window' (one page is fit into viewer window), 'fit width' (page is fit into window width) or a flat zoom percent value.

Open at page Use this option if you need your document to open on the page other than first.

User Interface options Use these options to hide some of the viewer user interface elements.

Window options If you don't like resizing document pages to fit window then you can choose to it vice versa: resize window to fit page. Window caption has a document file name by default. You can replace it with the document title.

4. Web-links

Enabling web-links recognition allows the printer to convert URLs and e-mails from your original plain text document into clickable PDF web-links. Words starting with 'http://' or 'www.' are parsed as web-links (by default). Syntactically valid e-mail addresses are recognized both with and without 'mailto:' prefix.

You can change text color and choose the underline text style for the recognized web-links to emphasize their clickable nature and imitate 'real' Internet web-links.

You can fine-tune link detection options as well if you find some words erroneously recognized as links or some links not recognized as such.

5. Stationery

Here you can create stationery for your new PDF Files: letterhead, header, footer and/or watermark.

Letterhead Letterhead is an image (or even some other PDF file) that is placed in the background of each page.

Header Header is some text that is placed at the top of each page. You can use text macros to add general information like date, time, page number or document title.

Footer Footer is some text that is placed at the bottom of each page. You can use text macros to add general information like date, time, page number or document title.

Watermark Watermark is text or image that can be placed anywhere on the page, either in the foreground or in the background. Watermarks are highly customizable.

6. Security

Here you can enable PDF security settings.

You can choose between Normal encryption strength (40-bit key) and High (128-bit key).

'Owner password' is the master password of the PDF document. It allows full access to the document: reading, editing, printing and changing security settings.

'User password' is a regular password of the PDF document. By default it allows all action except altering document security. You can further restrict user-level access by enabling different 'Do not allow user to' options.
