Transparency flattener preferences.
flattener preference Properties
| Property | Type | Access | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| class | type class | read | The class descriptor type. |
| clip complex regions | boolean | r/w | If true, ensures that the boundaries between vector and rasterized artwork fall along object paths. |
| convert all strokes to outlines | boolean | r/w | If true, converts all strokes to outlines and ensures that stroke widths remain constant during flattening. Note: Can cause thin strokes to appear slightly thicker than their original width. Affects all strokes, not only strokes involved in the transpa… |
| convert all text to outlines | boolean | r/w | If true, converts all text to outlines and discards all type glyph information on spreads with transparency; ensures that the width of text strokes remains constant during flattening. Note: Can cause small fonts to appear slightly thicker when viewed i… |
| gradient and mesh resolution | fixed | r/w | The resolution for gradients rasterized as a result of flattening and for drop shadow and feathers when printed or exported. (Range: 0 to 1200) Note: Resolutions higher than 300 ppi increase file size and printing time but generally do not improve the … |
| line art and text resolution | fixed | r/w | The resolution for vector objects rasterized as a result of flattening. (Range: 1 to 9600) For information, see raster vector balance. |
| object reference | flattener preference | read | An object reference for the flattener preference. |
| parent | spread | read | The parent of the flattener preference (a spread). |
| properties | record | r/w | A property that allows setting of several properties at the same time. |
| raster vector balance | anything | r/w | The amount of vector artwork to rasterize during flattening, specified as an enumerator or as a percentage in the range 0 to 100. Can return: low/medium low/medium/medium high/high or fixed (0 – 100). |
