PostScript options
Use the PostScript Options panel of the Advanced Print Setup dialog box to set options for a particular PostScript
printer. These options include how to handle nonresident printer fonts and whether to download Asian fonts. If a PDF
contains device-dependent settings, such as halftones and transfer functions, these settings can be sent in the
PostScript output to override the default settings in the printer. To use these options, you must be connected to a
PostScript printer or have a PostScript printer driver installed with a PPD file selected.
Specifies how fonts and resources in the document are sent to a printer when those fonts
Font And Resource Policy
and resources aren't present on the printer.
•
Downloads all fonts and resources at the start of the print job. The fonts and resources remain on the
Send At Start
printer until the job has finished printing. This option is the fastest but uses the most printer memory.
•
Downloads fonts and resources before printing the first page that uses them, and then discards
Send By Range
them when they are no longer needed. This option uses less printer memory. However, if a PostScript processor
reorders the pages later in the workflow, the font downloading can be incorrect, resulting in missing fonts. This option
does not work with some printers.
•
Downloads all fonts and resources for a given page before the page prints, and then discards
Send For Each Page
the fonts when the page has finished printing. This option uses the least printer memory.
Specifies the level of PostScript to generate for the pages. Choose the level of PostScript appropriate for your
Language
printer.
Prints documents with Asian fonts that aren't installed on the printer or embedded in the PDF.
Download Asian Fonts
The Asian fonts must be present on the system.
Convert TrueType To Type 1
output devices require this conversion.
Emit CIDFontType2 As CIDFontType2 (PS Version 2015 And Greater)
font when printing. If unselected, CIDFontType2 fonts are converted to CIDFontType0 fonts, which are compatible
with a wider range of printers. This option is available for PostScript 3 and PostScript Level 2 (PostScript version 2015
and later) output devices.
Prints pages as bitmap images. Select this option if normal printing doesn't produce the desired results,
Print As Image
and specify a resolution. This option is available only for PostScript printers.
Downloading Asian fonts to a printer
Select the Download Asian Fonts option in the Advanced Print Setup dialog box if you want to print a PDF with Asian
fonts that aren't installed on the printer or embedded in the document. Embedded fonts are downloaded whether or
not this option is selected. You can use this option with a PostScript Level 2 or higher printer. To make Asian fonts
available for downloading to a printer, be sure you have downloaded the fonts to your computer using the Custom or
Complete installation option during installation of Acrobat.
