PDF2DTP for InDesign Document and Font Settings
1. Select the “Save Document” checkbox to automatically save your new document to the
designated conversion folder upon completion of the conversion.
2. Select the “Save Image Previews” checkbox to save the image previews in the PDF to the
conversion folder, otherwise the previews will have no link (similar to a pasted PICT). Since these
images have no known pathname they will be given names such as “Image09-p03.tif” (where the
last number is the page number on which the picture box resides).
3. Select the “Reuse Duplicates” checkbox to save only one image preview file if there are any
duplicates in which case each occurrence of the preview in the document will use the same file.
This preference is useful because it can speed up the conversion process especially when the
same large preview is used on multiple pages. The drawback is the file name will be formed by
using the page number of the first occurrence of the preview in the document with a plus sign (“+”)
appended to the preview file name.
4. Select the “Clipping Paths” checkbox to save the Clipping Path in the preview file.
5. Select the “ICC Profiles” checkbox to save an ICC Profile, if defined in the PDF, to the preview file.
6. Select the “Duotones EPS” checkbox to save the image preview to a Duotone EPS if the color
space is defined as DeviceN and uses Spot (named) colors (i.e. “PANTONE 123 C”).
7. Select the “Save Missing Images (OPI)” checkbox to create a file in the conversion folder for a
missing image which has a known name. This allows you to eventually update the images upon
locating the originals.
8. "Unlink Images" is related to the Save Image Previews and the Save Missing Images (OPI)
preferences. If a PDF contains an image path (i.e., OPI data) and PDF2DTP can locate that image, it
will link to it. If no OPI data is present in the PDF, or the image pointed to by OPI data cannot be
found, then, if Save Image Previews is unchecked, the image will be listed with a Status of No Disk
File under the Links window. If Save Image Previews is checked, then PDF2DTP will attempt to
create a preview image and name it using the following format: Image01-p01.tif, where Image01
represents the number of the image on a page and p01 represents the page in the document
where the image is locate
