FlattenerPreset
A preset that contains transparency flattener properties.
Instance
Read Only
Number id
The unique ID of the FlattenerPreset.
Read Only
Boolean isValid
Returns true if the object specifier resolves to valid objects.
Read Only
Application parent
The parent of the FlattenerPreset (a Application).
Read Only
Number index
The index of the FlattenerPreset within its containing object.
Read Only
Events events
A collection of events.
Read Only
EventListeners eventListeners
A collection of event listeners.
String name
The name of the FlattenerPreset.
Mixed rasterVectorBalance
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).
Number lineArtAndTextResolution
The resolution for vector objects rasterized as a result of flattening. (Range: 1 to 9600) For information, see raster vector balance.
Number gradientAndMeshResolution
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.
Boolean clipComplexRegions
If true, ensures that the boundaries between vector and rasterized artwork fall along object paths.
Boolean convertAllStrokesToOutlines
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.
Boolean convertAllTextToOutlines
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.
String label
A property that can be set to any string.
Object properties
A property that allows setting of several properties at the same time.
