FlattenerPreset

A preset that contains transparency flattener properties.

Properties

Property Type Access Description
clipComplexRegions bool r/w If true, ensures that the boundaries between vector and rasterized artwork fall along object paths.
convertAllStrokesToOutlines bool 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 transparency.
convertAllTextToOutlines bool 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 in Acrobat or printed on low-quality desktop printers, but does not affect type quality when printed on high-resolution printers or imagesetters.
gradientAndMeshResolution number 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 image quality.
id number readonly The unique ID of the FlattenerPreset.
index number readonly The index of the FlattenerPreset within its containing object.
label string r/w A property that can be set to any string.
lineArtAndTextResolution number r/w The resolution for vector objects rasterized as a result of flattening. (Range: 1 to 9600) For information, see raster vector balance.
name string r/w The name of the FlattenerPreset.
parent Application readonly The parent of the FlattenerPreset (a Application).
properties Object r/w A property that allows setting of several properties at the same time.
rasterVectorBalance any 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: FlattenerLevel enumerator or Real (0 – 100).
