Canvas 12 User Guide
Shape: Specifies the shape of the halftone dots. Each shape is defined by a simple function
as is described in the PDF (and PostScript) documentation.
LPI and Angle: Specifies the halftone grid. Lines Per Inch (LPI) defines the density of the
grid, while Angle defines orientation of the grid.
Transition effects
Canvas can embed presentation slide transition effects within PDF files. Since a one-to-one
conversion between Canvas transition effects and those available within Acrobat don’t always exist,
the export filter maps effects that don’t correlate directly.
See the Adobe

documentation for more information on Acrobat transition effects.
