Word To Pdf Converter Options Review | |
WordToPdfOptions, reached through Options, controls the conversion and the generated document. Most of it is the same surface as HtmlToPdfOptions, with the same defaults, so it is only listed here; the properties that belong to the Word engine are described.
The options shared with the html converterProperty | What it does |
|---|---|
The page of the generated document. Applied only under the Options page setup; under Document the Word document's own pages are kept. | |
MarginLeft, MarginRight, MarginTop, MarginBottom | Margins in points, zero by default. Applied under both page setups: they surround the rendered page (Document) or replace the Word margins (Options). |
Show the bands built through Header and Footer. Text, image, html and Word sections all work; see Headers and Footers. | |
Carry the document's web links and its bookmark (internal) links as clickable pdf links. Both on by default. | |
Keep only the named rendered pages, e.g. "1,3-5". A range that selects none of the rendered pages is refused. | |
Stack every rendered page onto one tall pdf page. | |
PDF/A-1b to PDF/A-4 and PDF/X-1a, and the color space, produced as the html converter produces them. | |
Tagged (accessible) output: the Word document's structure becomes the logical structure of the pdf, declared as PDF/UA-1 or PDF/UA-2 with the title and the language a declared document must carry. See the Standards section of the converter topic. | |
Passwords and permissions, how a viewer opens the document, and its title, author, subject and keywords. | |
JpegCompressionEnabled, JpegCompressionLevel, PdfCompressionLevel | Image and stream compression, with the html converter's defaults. |
A diagnostic log file written during the conversion. |
The Word engine's own optionsProperty | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Document | Whether the output pages keep the Word document's sizes (Document) or the text is reflowed onto the page size, orientation and margins of the options (Options). See Getting Started. | |
none | The password of an encrypted Word document. | |
Headings | What the pdf outline is made from: the document's headings (nested by level), its Word bookmarks, or nothing (WordBookmarks). | |
true | Update the document's fields (dates, page references, formulas) before rendering. | |
false | Keep the document's form fields as fillable pdf form fields instead of flattening them. | |
false | Embed the complete font programs rather than the subsets the document uses. | |
false | Detect and shape complex scripts (Arabic, Hebrew, Indic) even where the document does not mark them. | |
true | Store identical images once. |
The conversion resultAfter a conversion, ConversionResult describes the document produced: PdfPageCount, PdfPageSize, PdfPageLastIndex, PdfPageLastRectangle and PdfPagesRectangles, one rectangle per rendered page in the coordinates of the pdf page it landed on.
