When converting to PDF and other types of files, you can
specify the settings to apply to the resulting document. Here are
the parameters you can use to specify these options:
PDF settings: This parameter provides the name of the
Adobe PDF settings to use for the conversion. The named settings
are defined on the Administration Console. The console is pre-configured
with several Adobe PDF settings. The names of these settings are
locale-specific. On English installations, these names include High Quality Print, PDFA1b 2005 CMYK,
and Press Quality.
If the Input Settings
Document parameter provides a value, this parameter is ignored.
If this parameter and the Input Settings Document parameter are both
null, this operation uses the default file type settings instance
that is defined on the LiveCycle server.
Security settings: This parameter provides the name of the
security settings to use for the conversion. The named settings
are defined on the Administration Console. On English installations,
the console is pre-configured with only the No Security security
settings.
If the Input Settings Document parameter provides
a value, this parameter is ignored. If this parameter and the Input
Settings Document parameter are both null, this operation uses the
default security settings instance that is defined on the LiveCycle
server.
File type settings: This parameter provides the name of the
file type settings instance that specifies how to convert specific
types of file formats. You can create custom versions of these settings
by using the Administration Console.
If the Input Settings
Document parameter provides a value, this parameter is ignored.
If this parameter and the Input Settings Document parameter are both
null, this operation uses the default file type settings instance
that is defined on the LiveCycle server.
Input Settings Document: An XML file containing conversion
settings, including Adobe PDF settings and security settings. The
Input Settings Document can contain multiple sets of settings. This
operation uses only the default sets.
Metadata information to embed in the generated PDF document.
Metadata contains information such as the author of the document,
the subject, and keywords to associate with the document. Only UTF-8
encoded Adobe Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) metadata is supported.
For information about the format and specifications, see the Extensible
Metadata Platform (XMP) page at the Adobe website.
On the PDF Generator web pages in the Administration Console,
you can designate one instance of each type of settings as the default.
(See LiveCycle Administration Console Help.)
The Generate PDF service supports multi-threaded file conversion
using Microsoft Office or OpenOffice. To configure your system to
use this feature, click the User Accounts link to provide the user
credentials for these applications.(See LiveCycle Administration Console Help.)
For information about developing processes that use the Generate
PDF service, see Workbench Help. For information about
developing client applications that programmatically interact with
this service, see Programming with LiveCycle.
Note: The PDFG Network Printer (IPP printer) is a
feature of the Distiller service. You can use PDFG Network Printer
to submit PostScript, EPS, or PRN conversion jobs to the Distiller
service (see Distiller Service). You cannot use the PDFG Network Printer to submit
conversion jobs to any of the Generate PDF services.
