Members:

Name Type Description
size AT_UINT Size of the data structure. Must be set to sizeof(AT_PDF_PRINTPARAMS).
ranges AT_PDF_PAGE_RANGE* Ranges of pages to print. Use NULL to print the entire document.
numRanges AT_INT32 Number of ranges of pages to print in ranges. The default value is 0.
shrinkToFit AT_PDF_BOOL TRUE if the page is scaled to fit the printer page size; FALSE otherwise. This field overrides scale. The default value is FALSE.
expandToFit AT_PDF_BOOL TRUE if small pages are to be scaled up to fit the printer page size; FALSE otherwise. Overrides scale. The default value is FALSE.
rotateAndCenter AT_PDF_BOOL TRUE if page is to be rotated to fit printer's orientation, and centered in printer's page size; FALSE otherwise.The default value is FALSE. Rotation and centering (TRUE) only occur, however, if the page contents are too wide to fit on a narrow page (or vice versa) and the page contents are less than an inch smaller than the target page in one direction.

incCIDFonts AT_INT16 Embed CID fonts. The default value is IG_PDF_INCLUDE_ONCE_PER_DOC.
incProcsets AT_INT16 Include Procsets in the file. The default value is IG_PDF_INCLUDE_ONCE_PER_DOC.
incOtherResources AT_INT16 Include all other types of resources in the file. The default value is IG_PDF_INCLUDE_ONCE_PER_DOC.
fontPerDocVM AT_INT32

Amount of VM available for font downloading at the document level. Ignored if <=0. 

This must be set to 0 for the toolkit; it is only used by the viewer.

emitShowpage AT_PDF_BOOL Emit save and restore showpage in PostScript files. The default value is TRUE.
emitTTFontsFirst AT_PDF_BOOL Emit TrueType fonts before any other fonts. The default value is FALSE.
setPageSize AT_PDF_BOOL (PostScript level 2 only) Set the page size on each page. Use the media box for outputting to PostScript files, use the crop box for EPS files. Default is FALSE.

If procsets are included, also include init/term code. The default value is TRUE. 

This must be set to TRUE.

binaryOK AT_PDF_BOOL TRUE if binary data is permitted in the PostScript file; FALSE otherwise. The default value is TRUE.
useSubFileDecode AT_PDF_BOOL Add SubFileDecode filter to work around stream problems. The default value is FALSE.
emitRawData AT_PDF_BOOL TRUE if add no unnecessary filters when emitting image data; FALSE otherwise. The default value is TRUE.
TTasT42 AT_PDF_BOOL If including TrueType fonts, convert to Type 42 fonts instead of Type 1 fonts. The default value is FALSE.
scale AT_FLOAT Document-wide scale factor. 100.0 = full size. The default value is 100.
emitExternalStreamRef AT_PDF_BOOL If an Image resource uses an external stream, emit code that points to the external file. The default value is FALSE.
This must be set to FALSE.
emitHalftones AT_PDF_BOOL Preserve any halftone screening in the PDF file. The default value is FALSE.
emitPSXObjects AT_PDF_BOOL Emit PostScript XObjects into the PostScript stream. The default value is FALSE.
centerCropBox AT_PDF_BOOL TRUE if CropBox output is centered on the page when the CropBox < MediaBox; FALSE otherwise. The default value is TRUE.
emitSeparableImagesOnly AT_PDF_BOOL If emitting EPS, include only CMYK and gray images.
emitDeviceExtGState AT_PDF_BOOL When emitting the extended graphics state, include the device-dependent parameters (overprint, black generation, undercolor removal, transfer, halftone, halftone phase, smoothness, flatness, rendering intent) in addition to the device-independent parameters (font, line width, line cap, line join, miter limit, dash pattern). If this flag is FALSE, only the device-independent parameters will be emitted. This flag overrides emitHalftones; if this is FALSE, then halftones are not emitted. The default value is TRUE.
boundingBox AT_PDF_FIXEDRECT If all zeroes, is ignored. Otherwise, is used for %BoundingBox DSC comment and in centerCropBox calculations and for setpagedevice. The default value is [0 0 0 0].
useFontAliasNames AT_PDF_BOOL Used when printing with system fonts. The default value is FALSE.
emitPageRotation AT_PDF_BOOL Emit a concat at the beginning of each page so that the page is properly rotated. Used when emitting EPS. The default value is FALSE.
reverse AT_PDF_BOOL If set to TRUE, reverse the order of page output.
tCropBox AT_PDF_FIXEDRECT* Temporary crop box to represent selected region.
emitPageClip AT_PDF_BOOL Set to TRUE to emit page clip.

emitBG AT_PDF_BOOL Set to TRUE to emit black generation.
emitUCR AT_PDF_BOOL Set to TRUE to emit undercolor removal.
farEastFontOpt AT_INT16 Far East font option. Currently not used. Set to 0.

destProfile char[256] If hostBaseCM color management is TRUE, use this profile.
destCSAtom HIG_PDF_ATOM An atom representing the device color space (DeviceGray, DeviceRGB, etc.).
saveVM AT_PDF_BOOL TRUE means try to save VM when printing to PostScript.
doOPP AT_PDF_BOOL If TRUE, do the overprint preview operation.
suppressOPPWhenNoSpots AT_INT32 When TRUE, suppress OPP for pages that do not contain spot colors
optimizeForSpeed AT_PDF_BOOL If TRUE, do it fast; FALSE means PostScript code must be page independent. If set to TRUE, font downloads are forced from IG_PDF_INCLUDE_ON_EVERY_PAGE to IG_PDF_INCLUDE_ONCE_PER_DOC.

lineWidth AT_FLOAT Line width to use for printer marks.
macQDPrinter AT_PDF_BOOL Set to TRUE if the printer is a Mac QuickDraw printer.

customMarksFileName

AT_UINT

If markStyle == -1, this should be a valid file name pointing to a valid .mrk file for custom printer marks.

pAGMPI

AT_VOID*

The AGMP interface pointer. Should be NULL.

disableFlattening

AT_PDF_BOOL

Disable flattening of the PDF file; transparency data will be ignored.

doNotDownloadFauxFonts

Allow user to control "Snap_To_Device".

suppressElement AT_INT32 Unused. Set to 0.

Remarks:

All fields in the AT_PDF_PRINTPARAMS structure apply to PostScript file creation. AT_PDF_PRINTPARAMS are ignored when printing to non-PostScript devices.
