Prep4PDF INI Entries

This will no doubt have a UI eventually, but for now, you can set some options in the [Prep4PDF] section of PPTools.INI in your PPTools folder.

There won't be a [Prep4PDF] section there until you've run Prep4PDF at least once. It automatically creates the section and sets a few default entries for you.

; PageMode sets the way the PDF opens originally
; default is /FullScreen
; /UseNone is the normal Acrobat default - no bookmarks/thumbnails, open per user defaults
; /UseOutlines - display bookmarks
; /UseThumbs - display thumbnails

PageMode=/FullScreen

; LinkColor sets the color of line that defines link boxes
; color is [ R G B ] where each is a value between 0 and 1
; UI will allow you to spec colors more normally and will convert
; for example, red ( RGB 255,0,0) would be 1 0 0 here
; 128,0,0 would be .5 0 0

LinkColor=[ 0 0 0 ]

; BorderStyle sets the style of the line that defines link boxes
; first number is the horizontal corner radius
; second number is the vertical corner radius
; third number is the thickness of the border
; a fourth optional element is a PS/PDF array that specifies dashed lines
; it's all documented in the Acrobat PDFMark guide if you really, really want to play
; UI will probably let user set thickness or turn the border off altogether, the default here.
; Default border style in Acrobat is [ 0 0 1 ], a thin line

BorderStyle=[ 0 0 0 ]

; Author, Title etc.
; The way these work will likely change
; Now: if present, they override any values in the PPT file's Doc Properties
; Later, probably: they'll supply default values to be used if the Doc Properties are blank
; Recommended: use Doc Properties, ignore these
Author=Your Name, My Name, whatever
Title=Whatever you'd like

; What paper size will you print to? Set to Landscape or Portrait?
; Dimensions in points
Paperwidth=612
Paperheight=792
PaperOrient=Landscape

; Sometimes PPT and the driver don't quite agree on sizing
; You can add a little extra crop to the sides and top/bottom with the following entries
; Dimensions in points
SidePad=2
TopBottomPad=2
