Properties

PropertyTypeAccessDescription
clipComplexRegionsbool r/wIf true, ensures that the boundaries between vector and rasterized artwork fall along object paths.
convertAllStrokesToOutlinesbool r/wIf true, converts all strokes to outlines and ensures that stroke widths remain constant during flattening. Note: Can cause thin strokes to appear slightly thicker than their original width. Affects all strokes, not only strokes involved in the transparency.
convertAllTextToOutlinesbool r/wIf true, converts all text to outlines and discards all type glyph information on spreads with transparency; ensures that the width of text strokes remains constant during flattening. Note: Can cause small fonts to appear slightly thicker when viewed in Acrobat or printed on low-quality desktop printers, but does not affect type quality when printed on high-resolution printers or imagesetters.
gradientAndMeshResolutionnumber r/wThe resolution for gradients rasterized as a result of flattening and for drop shadow and feathers when printed or exported. (Range: 0 to 1200) Note: Resolutions higher than 300 ppi increase file size and printing time but generally do not improve the image quality.
lineArtAndTextResolutionnumber r/wThe resolution for vector objects rasterized as a result of flattening. (Range: 1 to 9600) For information, see raster vector balance.
parentSpread readonlyThe parent of the FlattenerPreference (a Spread).
propertiesObject r/wA property that allows setting of several properties at the same time.
rasterVectorBalanceFlattenerLevelReal (0 - 100) r/wThe amount of vector artwork to rasterize during flattening, specified as an enumerator or as a percentage in the range 0 to 100. Can return: FlattenerLevel enumerator or Real (0 - 100).
