7.4 Job options
With Job Options it is possible to change the characteristics of generated PDF files. PrintShop Mail Web uses
job options files when creating softproofs and when creating PDF output of PrintShop Mail documents. By
default Print Shop Mail Web has 2 pre installed job option files. It is possible to upload additional job options
files. Job option files can be created using Acrobat Distiller, by editing the settings and saving the settings to a
file. It is not possible to delete the pre installed job options files.
Job options files are plain text files, a common text editor, like NotePad++, can be used to change the
settings in the file. PrintShop Mail Web does not have an option to preflight job options files and cannot
determine if a job options file is valid. Manually edited job options files and even job option files created using
Acrobat Distiller may not work properly and could cause rendering errors. Make sure that you have tested
your job options file and template using PrintShop Mail Web before making the template document available
to your customers.
Note: Please note that image compression settings in the job options files only affect bitmap data in
the PDF document. When a document contains vector data you won't see any difference.
