ASCII format: Select to create the PDF file using ASCII characters (instead of the
usual 8-bit binary format). This option produces a file suitable for transmission over
a 7-bit ASCII link. This option is useful if the PDFs need to be opened in a text
editor, sent across networks, or sent via email using a program that does not support
binary files. This option also generates smaller files.
l
Compress text and line art: Select to compress the text and line work in the file
using the Flate compression filter. Flate is a compression method that works well on
elements with large areas of single colors or repeating patterns, as well as on black-

the text or DSC comments.

contain any parentheses, as this would cause the task to fail. If you suspect that the
data may contain parentheses, you should use a Run Script action task (see Run
Script Action Task Property) with a Strip() function to strip them out.
l
Keywords: You may enter keywords for the document. Since this is a variable
property box, you may use variables and data selections and let PlanetPress
