If you set this to TRUE, all data files are closed between print jobs. This causes no real performance problems despite opening more than 150 data files.

When set to a YES (default), it allows the reading of the PDF file on a computer where the fonts contained in that PDF might not be installed.

 

Applies only to invoice printing to the SiriusPDF printer. Normally the name for the file is Invoice plus the date/time.

 

C:\Invoice2007-10-30 17.48.10.pdf.

Enter FoxPro expressions (inside << and >> delimiters) in this .INI setting to cause the file to have a different name. You can even reference fields in open tables.

 

would yield a filename like:

 

 

Integer representing millimeters

Left and right page margins (in millimeters).

Integer value calculated as described in Description

139795 (no prompt, use filename,
embed fonts, full embed, append if PDF exists, JPEG low level)

Important: This is only used in 4.0 versions of the software. It has been deprecated as of 4.1versions.

 

Used to specify the characteristics of the PDF that is generated for Print At Home Tickets. Each setting is cumulative – add the values of each setting to arrive at the final number to use in the PDFoptions setting.

 

Note: You do not modify this setting unless you have already checked with Siriusware Technical Support.

 

Note: Double-check your math when calculating the final setting number; otherwise, you may cause unpredictable results – including possible PrintEZ failure. To use the default setting, simply delete the PDFoptions setting from your PrintEZ.INI file.

Required settings (always include these):

 

Note: Intermittent problems with barcodes may occur if you do not fully embed the fonts.

 

 

The default 139795 comes from the required settings plus full font embedding, plus JPEG low level – so it is 1+2+16+8192+512+131072=139795.

Descriptions of what these settings do can be found in Acrobat Distiller documentation, such as http://www.aces.edu/ctu/techref/software/acrobat/5.x/Distparm.pdf.

To get better quality JPEGs you could use 262144 (JPEG medium level) or 393216 (JPEG high level) in place of 131072 in the default formula. Be aware that increasing quality comes at a price – filesize, which is also dependent on the layout being used.

 

In addition to these new PDF related .INI settings, the PDFOptions .INI setting and the old SiriuswarePDF printer are no longer used.

Name of Nova PDF Printer

The installed NovaPDF Windows printer.

 

Positive integer representing seconds.

Number of seconds to wait for PDF print driver to report PDF file completion. Applies only if PDFRenderWaitMode is 1 or 2.

 

Integer from 3-6

PDF rendering version.

3 = PDF v1.3 (Adobe Acrobat Reader 4)

4 = PDF v1.4 (Adobe Acrobat Reader 5)

5 = PDF v1.5 (Adobe Acrobat Reader 6)

6 = PDF v1.6 (Adobe Acrobat Reader 7)

 

See Description

1 = (Default) Wait for PDF print driver to report PDF file completion before continuing.

2 = Do not wait for PDF print driver to report PDF file completion (it is spooled by the Windows print spooler), except when the PDF file needs to be emailed. While this is faster than 1, use this setting with caution, as it may cause missing PDF pages or stability problems.

3 = Never wait for PDF print driver to report PDF file completion (it is spooled by the Windows print spooler). While this is faster than 1, use this setting with caution, as it may cause missing PDF pages or stability problems.

 

Yes / No

Generate PDFs silently.

 

Integer from 0 - 5

Level of logging application’s activities to the PrintEZ_log.txt file. Levels are from 0 to 5 (0=no logging, 5=full logging).

 

Integer from 0 – 2
