Output to PDF is a plug-in that lets you print or save documents from multiple
sources to Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). The PDF format is
independent of the operating system and application software used to create
documents.
Note: With PDF selected in the PDL Settings dialog box, only a limited set of
driver options is available.
Use as an alternative to existing commercial applications for creating PDF
documents.
Documents saved as PDF retain their original appearance, and can be
viewed and printed with the free Adobe Reader on Windows, Mac OS, and
UNIX platforms.
You can select a page description language from PDL options.
In Device Settings > PDL, select the desired page description language from
the Select PDL list.
Select the GDI compatible mode option to improve the output quality of
graphics created by your application.
Settings is available when the PDL is set to PCL XL, KPDL, or PDF.
If you select PCL XL in the PDL Settings dialog box, you can click Settings
to open the PCL XL Settings dialog box. Disable auto media type
switching controls how automatic media switching behaves when the
selected paper source runs out paper. When selected, printing stops until
you load more paper of the same size and type. When the check box is
clear, the printing system automatically switches to another paper source
loaded with the same page size and media type.
If you select KPDL in the PDL Settings dialog box, you can click Settings to
open the KPDL Settings dialog box. Select the Allow data passthrough
check box to reduce errors when printing complex jobs from applications that
use PostScript formatting.
Note that if you select Allow data passthrough, EMF spooling is not
available in the Advanced tab.
If you select PDF in the PDL Settings dialog box, you can click Settings to
open the PDF Settings dialog box.
