True Page
®
When using True Page , all elements are placed in text boxes, including text in
columns. This setting is recommended for pages with a complex layout
containing many framed elements and when the text flow between columns is
untypical. This setting can be used for general documents, and may also be used
to convert form-like PDF files. See Converting Forms.
If layout has changed during conversion, try reprocessing the PDF file with the
other setting.
Use PDF tags
Tags contain information on paragraphs and other elements on a PDF page, to
allow programs reading the PDF to have some knowledge of the page layout and
structure. Select this to give PDF Converter access to this information. It will use
this in addition to its own page layout detection. Not all PDF files contain tags.
Recognize non-standard encoded pages
Most PDF files use standard character encoding. If not this is the case, enable
this option to extract text using OCR. Language selection made in the OCR
Settings dialog box will be used.
Color Conversion
There are three color categories: Color, Grayscale, Black-and-white.
Same as Original
Select this to create an output file with the same color category as the original.
You must select this if you want color to appear in your converted document.
Grayscale
Select this to have color pages converted to grayscale. Grayscale pages remain
as grayscale; black-and-white pages remain as black-and-white.
Black-and-White
Select this to have color and grayscale pages converted to black-and-white. This
will deliver smaller file sizes, but grayscale or color pictures will lose all their
detail.
Note: The Color Conversion setting and the Resolution setting are applied to all
graphics in the PDF file, and also to image-only pages in the PDF when they are
transferred as image pages into the target application.
