l
Enable multi-threaded reading check box: This setting controls how the engine reads its
input, with multi-threading reading being the default.
Note
This setting is primarily for trouble shooting. We recommended always leaving
multi-threading on, unless otherwise advised by Support.
l
Number of multi-threaded form rips selection: Set the amount of individual threads to
assign to form ripping.
This setting is useful for when graphics content triggers rasterization when writing AFP or
IPDS output. Typical examples of content triggering rasterization are: transparency; fill
patterns; gradient fills; or text rotated at a non-right angle.
Increasing the number of threads should speed up Output Creation under such
circumstances.
Note
How effective this setting is at speeding up the output will depend upon the number
of cores available on the processing machine and how many other tasks the
machine is running simultaneously.
If only one Output Creation task is running, setting this value as equal to the number
of (logical) cores will likely give the best performance.
Buttons
The Engines preferences also provides you with buttons to :
l Restore Defaults. This option restores the preferences to Defaults. This applies to the
current Preferences page only, but not other Preferences.
l
Apply: This option applies the settings made within the current Preferences page, but
does not close the Preferences dialog.
