FlattenerPreference

clipComplexRegions

Boolean

read/write

If true, ensures that the boundaries between vector and rasterized artwork fall along object paths.

convertAllStrokesToOutlines

Boolean

read/write

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

Boolean

read/write

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 (range 0 - 1200)

read/write

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.

lineArtAndTextResolution

Number (range 1 - 9600)

read/write

The resolution for vector objects rasterized as a result of flattening. (Range: 1 to 9600) For information, see raster vector balance.

parent

Spread

readonly

The parent of the FlattenerPreference (a Spread).

properties

Object

read/write

A property that allows setting of several properties at the same time.

rasterVectorBalance

FlattenerLevel

FlattenerLevel.HIGH

FlattenerLevel.LOW

FlattenerLevel.MEDIUM

FlattenerLevel.MEDIUM_HIGH

FlattenerLevel.MEDIUM_LOW

Real(0-100)

read/write

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).
