Conversion parameters - GENERAL

DocumentOutputName
Specifies the output file name (no path and extension). The file extension will be automatically added
depending on the output format.
Syntax
NVDC.setParameter("DocumentOutputName", value)
Data type: String
Note: Can only be set before calling the Create method.

DocumentOutputFolder
Specifies the folder where the output document will go.
Syntax
NVDC.setParameter("DocumentOutputFolder", value)
Data type: String
Note: Can only be set before calling the Create method.

DocumentOutputFormat
Sets the output format.
Possible values: "PDF", "PDFA", “PDFA2”, “PDFA3”, “PDFA2U”, “PDFA3U” "PS", "EPS", "PNG", "BMP", "JPG",
"TIFF", "PCX", "PSD", "PXL", "TEXT".
Syntax
NVDC.setParameter("DocumentOutputFormat", value)
Data type: String

Note: Can only be set before calling the Create method.

Note: when PDFA is specified the output will be PDF/A-1b. To obtain a PDF/A-2b or 3b file you’ll have to use
PDFA2 or PDFA3. In case you need to create PDF/A files with text that contains Unicode equivalents please use
PDFA2U or PDFA3U.

Known limitations:
TXT output format
The text extraction can be successful only if the printed document itself contains text information. If the document is
an image, drawing, metafile, etc, docCreator will not be able to extract any text.
In some cases the printing application sends the text or parts of the text as glyphs. The glyphs codes cannot be
converted back to character codes and the text file will contain unreadable characters.
The coordinates of the beginning text are reported by the printing application. The coordinates of the end of the text
is calculated by the driver, based on the resolution, font, and the actual characters in the text. A small variation of 1 to
5 pixels is normal.
The coordinates of the text are saved as they are received from the printing application. Some applications, such as
Quicken, change the coordinate system during printing. The part of the driver which generates the text output is not
aware of this fact. In cases where the printing application changes the coordinate system, the coordinates saved to
the text file may not be relative to the upper left corner of the image. There is no workaround for this issue.

 When printing content of cells from Excel, the content of the cells is not separated.
Words cut in half. It is possible that the following line "This is a test line" is extracted from a document by docCreator
and is saved to the text file as "T his is a te st lin e". This issue is caused by the printing application, which sends the
text as different commands. The printer driver is not aware if the text is "correct", the text will be saved exactly how it
is received from the printing application. This is most likely to happen with applications such as Word and Notepad,
when for example one part of a word or sentence is using one font and another part of the text is using a different
font, or a word was typed and then later edited.
When printing a document with Arabic text document with Unicode Text enabled, the Arabic text in the text output is
garbage. The origin of the problem is that some languages use fonts that require shaping. Arabic is one of
these. When an application prints Arabic text, no printer driver will receive the text itself but instead receives an array
of glyph indices. The glyph index is font specific and points to a character location in the font. Because there is no way
to convert back the glyph index into a Unicode character code, it is not possible to retrieve the Unicode text. It is
caused by the design of the operating systems way of handling printing these kinds of fonts. This problem is found in
all printer drivers that capture text, including the docCreator.

Specifies the output filename suffix. If you use "%d" docCreator will add the page number to the file name. You
can also control the number of digits used in the file name by replacing %d with %0Nd where N is the number
of digits you want to use, for example %03d will force docCreator to produce files with names like
this: 'filename001.jpg', ... , 'filename010.jpg', ... %04d will produce: 'filename0001.jpg', ... , 'filename0010.jpg',
...
Syntax

Syntax
NVDC.setParameter("GraphicsAlphaBits", value)
Data Type: String
Note: Can only be set before calling the Create method. Will have effect only if DocumentOutputFormat is "TIFF",
"JPG", "BMP", "PNG" or "PCX".
Because of the way antialiasing blends the edges of shapes into the background when they are drawn, some files that
rely on joining separate filled polygons together to cover an area may not render as expected with Graphics
antialiasing at 2 or 4 bits. If you encounter strange lines within solid areas, try rendering that file again with Graphic
antialiasing at 1 bit.

Interpolate
Specifies whether the image parser should use image interpolation. Enabling image interpolation will result in
higher quality for scaled images at the expense of speed.

OptimizePDFfor
Possible values: "default", "screen", "printer", "prepress", "ebook".
For your convenience there are several sets of predefined settings for creating PDF files. These settings are designed
to balance file size with quality, depending on how the PDF file is to be used:
• Default - is intended to be useful across a wide variety of uses, possibly at the expense of a larger output file. All
color and grayscale images are downsampled at 72 dpi, monochrome images at 300 dpi; subsets of all fonts used in
the file are embedded; and all information is compressed. PDF files created using the Default job option are
compatible with Acrobat 4.0 (and later).
• Screen - intended for PDF files that will be displayed on the World Wide Web or an intranet, or that will be
distributed through an e-mail system for on-screen viewing. This set of options uses compression, downsampling, and
a relatively low resolution; converts all colors to RGB; maintains compatibility with Acrobat 3.0; to create a PDF file
that is as small as possible. It also optimizes files for byte serving (fast web view).
• Printer - to be used for PDF files that are intended for desktop printers, digital copiers, publishing on a CD-ROM, or
to send to a client as a publishing proof. In this set of options, file size is still important, but it is not the only objective.
This set of options uses compression and downsampling to keep the file size down, but it also embeds subsets of all
fonts used in the file, tags everything for color management, and prints to a medium resolution to create a reasonably
accurate rendition of the original document.
• Prepress - intended for PDF files that will be printed as a high-quality final output to an imagesetter or, for example,
a platesetter. In this case, file size is not a consideration. The objective is to maintain all the information in a PDF file
that a commercial printer or service bureau will need to print the document correctly. This set of options
downsamples color and grayscale images at 300 dpi, monochrome images at 1200 dpi, embeds subsets of all fonts
used in the file, prints to a higher resolution, and uses other settings to preserve the maximum amount of information
about the original document.
Syntax
NVDC.setParameter("OptimizePDFfor", value)

Syntax
NVDC.setParameter("AutoStraighten", value)
Data Type: String
Note: Will have effect only when used in conjunction with convertImage method.

Possible Values:

-useimagepack forces docCreator to use Image Pack for all image conversions - by default docCreator will
use the built-in image parser for jpeg, png, bmp, pcx and tiff images and Image Pack for the rest.

-colorize <value> colorize the image with the fill color

Specify the amount of colorization as a percentage. You can apply separate colorization values to the red, green, and
blue channels of the image with a colorization value list delimited with slashes (e.g. 0/0/50).

-colors <value> preferred number of colors in the image

The actual number of colors in the image may be less than your request, but never more. Note, this is a color
reduction option. Images with less unique colors than specified with this option will have any duplicate or unused
colors removed. The ordering of an existing color palette may be altered. When converting an image from color to
grayscale, convert the image to the gray colorspace before reducing the number of colors since doing so is most
efficient.
Note: -dither, -colorspace affect the color reduction algorithm.

-colorspace <value> colorspace type

Choices are: CMYK, GRAY, HSL, HWB, OHTA, RGB, Transparent, XYZ, YCbCr, YIQ, YPbPr, or YUV.
Color reduction, by default, takes place in the RGB color space. Empirical evidence suggests that distances in color
spaces such as YUV or YIQ correspond to perceptual color differences more closely than do distances in RGB space.
These color spaces may give better results when color reducing an image. Refer to quantize for more details.
The Transparent color space behaves uniquely in that it preserves the matte channel of the image if it exists. The -
colors or -monochrome option, or saving to a file format which requires color reduction, is required for this option to
take effect.

-compress <type> image compression type

Choices are: None, BZip, Fax, Group4, JPEG, LZW, RLE or Zip.
Specify +compress to store the binary image in an uncompressed format. The default is the compression type of the
specified image file.

-contrast enhance or reduce the image contrast
This option enhances the intensity differences between the lighter and darker elements of the image. Use
-contrast to enhance the image or +contrast to reduce the image contrast. For a more pronounced effect you can
repeat the option, for Ex: NVDC.setParameter( "ConvertImageParam", "-contrast -contrast")

-crop <width>x<height>{+-}<x>{+-} <y>{%} preferred size and location of the cropped image
See -geometry for details about the geometry specification.
The width and height give the size of the image that remains after cropping, and x and y are offsets that give the
location of the top left corner of the cropped image with respect to the original image. To specify the amount to be
removed, use -shave instead.
If the x and y offsets are present, a single image is generated, consisting of the pixels from the cropping region. The
offsets specify the location of the upper left corner of the cropping region measured downward and rightward with
respect to the upper left corner of the image.
If the x and y offsets are omitted, a set of tiles of the specified geometry, covering the entire input image, is
generated. The rightmost tiles and the bottom tiles are smaller if the specified geometry extends beyond the
dimensions of the input image

-dither apply Floyd/Steinberg error diffusion to the image

The basic strategy of dithering is to trade intensity resolution for spatial resolution by averaging the intensities of
several neighboring pixels. Images which suffer from severe contouring when reducing colors can be improved with
this option.
The -colors or -monochrome option is required for this option to take effect.

-density <width>x<height> horizontal and vertical resolution in pixels of the image

This option specifies the image resolution to store while encoding a raster image. The default unit of measure is in
dots per inch (DPI).
The default resolution is 72 dots per inch, which is equivalent to one point per pixel (Macintosh and Postscript
standard). Computer screens are normally 72 or 96 dots per inch while printers typically support 150, 300, 600, or
1200 dots per inch. To determine the resolution of your display, use a ruler to measure the width of your screen in
inches, and divide by the number of horizontal pixels (1024 on a 1024x768 display).
If the file format supports it, this option may be used to update the stored image resolution. Note that Photoshop
stores and obtains image resolution from a proprietary embedded profile. If this profile is not stripped from the
image, then Photoshop will continue to treat the image using its former resolution, ignoring the image resolution
specified in the standard file header.
The density option is an attribute and does not alter the underlying raster image. It may be used to adjust the
rendered size for desktop publishing purposes by adjusting the scale applied to the pixels. To resize the image so that
it is the same size at a different resolution, use the -resample option.

-depth <value> depth of the image

This is the number of bits in a color sample within a pixel. The only acceptable values are 8 or 16. Use this option to
specify the depth of raw images whose depth is unknown such as GRAY, RGB, or CMYK, or to change the depth of any
image after it has been read.

-filter <type> use this type of filter when resizing an image

Use this option to affect the resizing operation of an image (see -geometry). Choose from these filters: Point, Box,
Triangle, Hermite, Hanning, Hamming, Blackman, Gaussian, Quadratic, Cubic, Catrom, Mitchell, Lanczos, Bessel and
Sinc.
The default filter is automatically selected to provide the best quality while consuming a reasonable amount of time.
The Mitchell filter is used if the image supports a palette, supports a matte channel, or is being enlarged, otherwise
the Lanczos filter is used.

-geometry <width>x<height>{+-}<x>{+-} <y>{%}{@} {!}{<}{>} preferred size and location of the Image
By default, the width and height are maximum values. That is, the image is expanded or contracted to fit the width
and height value while maintaining the aspect ratio of the image. Append an exclamation point to the geometry to
force the image size to exactly the size you specify. For example, if you specify 640x480! the image width is set to 640
pixels and height to 480.
If only the width is specified, the width assumes the value and the height is chosen to maintain the aspect ratio of the
image. Similarly, if only the height is specified (e.g., -geometry x256), the width is chosen to maintain the aspect ratio.
To specify a percentage width or height instead, append %. The image size is multiplied by the width and height
percentages to obtain the final image dimensions. To increase the size of an image, use a value greater than 100 (e.g.
125%). To decrease an image's size, use a percentage less than 100.
Use @ to specify the maximum area in pixels of an image.
Use > to change the dimensions of the image only if its width or height exceeds the geometry specification. < resizes
the image only if both of its dimensions are less than the geometry specification. For example, if you specify
'640x480>' and the image size is 256x256, the image size does not change. However, if the image is 512x512 or
1024x1024, it is resized to 480x480. Enclose the geometry specification in quotation marks to prevent the < or > from
being interpreted by your shell as a file redirection.

-monochrome transform the image to black and white

-page <width>x<height>{+-}<x>{+-} <y>{%}{!}{<}{>} size and location of an image canvas

For convenience you can specify the page size by media (e.g. A4, Ledger, etc.). Otherwise, -page behaves much like -
geometry (e.g. -page letter+43+43>).
This option is also used to place subimages when writing to a multi-image format that supports offsets, such as GIF89
and MNG. When used for this purpose the offsets are always measured from the top left corner of the canvas and are
not affected by the -gravity option. To position a GIF or MNG image, use -page{+-}<x>{+-}<y> (e.g. -page +100+200).
When writing to a MNG file, a -page option appearing ahead of the first image in the sequence with nonzero width
and height defines the width and height values that are written in the MHDR chunk. Otherwise, the MNG width and
height are computed from the bounding box that contains all images in the sequence. When writing a GIF89 file, only
the bounding box method is used to determine its dimensions.
For a PostScript page, the image is sized as in -geometry and positioned relative to the lower left hand corner of the
page by {+-}<xoffset>{+-}<y offset>. Use -page 612x792>, for example, to center the image within the page. If the
image size exceeds the PostScript page, it is reduced to fit the page. The default page dimensions for a TEXT image is
612x792.
This option is used in concert with -density.
Use +page to remove the page settings for an image.

-quality <value> JPEG/MIFF/PNG compression level

For the JPEG image format, quality is 0 (lowest image quality and highest compression) to 100 (best quality but least
effective compression). The default quality is 75. Use the -sampling-factor option to specify the factors for chroma
downsampling.
For the MIFF image format, quality/10 is the zlib compression level, which is 0 (worst but fastest compression) to 9
(best but slowest). It has no effect on the image appearance, since the compression is always lossless.
For the JPEG-2000 image format, quality is mapped using a non-linear equation to the compression ratio required by
the Jasper library. This non-linear equation is intended to loosely approximate the quality provided by the JPEG v1
format. The default quality value 75 results in a request for 16:1 compression. The quality value 100 results in a
request for non-lossy compression.

Page 65 of 72
For the MNG and PNG image formats, the quality value sets the zlib compression level (quality / 10) and filter-type
(quality % 10). Compression levels range from 0 (fastest compression) to 100 (best but slowest). For compression level
0, the Huffman-only strategy is used, which is fastest but not necessarily the worst compression.
The default is quality is 75, which means nearly the best compression with adaptive filtering. The quality setting has
no effect on the appearance of PNG and MNG images, since the compression is always lossless.
For further information, see the PNG specification.
When writing a JNG image with transparency, two quality values are required, one for the main image and one for the
grayscale image that conveys the alpha channel. These are written as a single integer equal to the main image quality
plus 1000 times the opacity quality. For example, if you want to use quality 75 for the main image and quality 90 to
compress the opacity data, use -quality 90075.

-region <width>x<height>{+-}<x>{+-} <y> apply options to a portion of the image

-resample <horizontal>x<vertical> resample image to specified horizontal and vertical resolution

Resize the image so that its rendered size remains the same as the original at the specified target resolution. For
example, if a 300 DPI image renders at 3 inches by 2 inches on a 300 DPI device, when the image has been resampled
to 72 DPI, it will render at 3 inches by 2 inches on a 72 DPI device. Note that only a small number of image formats
(e.g. JPEG, PNG, and TIFF) are capable of storing the image resolution. For formats which do not support an image
resolution, the original resolution of the image must be specified via -density on the command line prior to specifying
the resample resolution.
Note that Photoshop stores and obtains image resolution from a proprietary embedded profile. If this profile exists in
the image, then Photoshop will continue to treat the image using its former resolution, ignoring the image resolution
specified in the standard file header.

-rotate <degrees>{<}{>} apply Paeth image rotation to the image

Use > to rotate the image only if its width exceeds the height. < rotates the image only if its width is less than the
height. For example, if you specify -rotate "-90>" and the image size is 480x640, the image is not rotated. However, if
the image is 640x480, it is rotated by -90 degrees. If you use > or <, enclose it in quotation marks to prevent it from
being misinterpreted as a file redirection.

-sampling-factor <horizontal_factor>x<vertical_factor> sampling factors used by JPEG encoder and YUV

decoder/encoder.
This option specifies the sampling factors to be used by the JPEG encoder for chroma downsampling. If this option is
omitted, the JPEG library will use its own default values. When reading or writing the YUV format, use
-sampling-factor 2x1 to specify the 4:2:2 downsampling method.

-scale <geometry> scale the image

See -geometry for details about the geometry specification. -scale uses a simpler, faster algorithm. Offsets, if present
in the geometry string, are ignored.

-sharpen <radius>{x<sigma>} sharpen the image

Use a Gaussian operator of the given radius and standard deviation (sigma).

-shave <width>x<height>{%} shave pixels from the image edges

Specify the width of the region to be removed from both sides of the image and the height of the regions to be
removed from top and bottom.

-trim trim an image

This option removes any edges that are exactly the same color as the corner pixels. Use -fuzz to make trim remove
edges that are nearly the same color as the corner pixels.
-fuzz <distance>{%} colors within this distance are considered equal

A number of algorithms search for a target color. By default the color must be exact. Use this option to match colors
that are close to the target color in RGB space. For example, if you want to automatically trim the edges of an image
with -trim but the image was scanned and the target background color may differ by a small amount. This option can
account for these differences.
The distance can be in absolute intensity units or, by appending "%", as a percentage of the maximum possible
intensity (255, 65535, or 4294967295).
