Connect 2018.2 Output updates
Important Information
The Output Engine (Weaver)memory footprint has increased in Connect 2018.2. This means
some users might need to increase their Weaver memory allocation in the Engine Setup
preferences.
Note:When running really large jobs, it often pays to increase Weaver memory allocation,
even if only for the duration of the production job(s).
Font handling
l
Additional Content Text improvements
When adding text as Additional Content in Output Presets, TrueType Collections (TTC)
font files were not supported. TTC fonts allow a single file to hold multiple fonts types.
Since TTC fonts can be important for Asian language fonts, we have now added support
for these.
Previously, Additional Content text allowed selecting Bold and Italic for any font, even if
the bold or italic version was not present. We now only display the font variation options
for a font, if that font variation is actually available.

PDFOutput font selection
Added selection for either simple mixed byte font encoding (for smaller size) or fixed 2
byte CID fonts with identity encoding (for greatest compatibility) for PDFoutput. (SHARED-
65462)
Connect always used simple fonts in its output, but dynamically switched to composite
fonts when the number of characters in a font grew too large. This approach best reduced
output file size. But in some cases the dynamic font creation caused viewing issues with
certain PDFviewers, even though the font method is compliant with PDFstandards.
