Job options
With job options it is possible to change the characteristics of generated PDF files. PrintShop Web
uses job options files to when creating softproofs and when creating PDF output of PrintShop Mail
documents. By default Print Shop 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 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 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.
