Properties

Property	Type	Access	Description
clipComplexRegions	bool	r/w	If true, ensures that the boundaries between vector and rasterized artwork fall along object paths.
convertAllStrokesToOutlines	bool	r/w	If 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.
convertAllTextToOutlines	bool	r/w	If 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.
eventListeners	EventListeners	readonly	A collection of event listeners.
events	Events	readonly	A collection of events.
gradientAndMeshResolution	number	r/w	The 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.
id	number	readonly	The unique ID of the FlattenerPreset.
index	number	readonly	The index of the FlattenerPreset within its containing object.
isValid	bool	readonly	Returns true if the object specifier resolves to valid objects.
label	string	r/w	A property that can be set to any string.
lineArtAndTextResolution	number	r/w	The resolution for vector objects rasterized as a result of flattening. (Range: 1 to 9600) For information, see raster vector balance.
name	string	r/w	The name of the FlattenerPreset.
parent	Application	readonly	The parent of the FlattenerPreset (a Application).
properties	Object	r/w	A property that allows setting of several properties at the same time.
rasterVectorBalance	FlattenerLevelReal (0 - 100)	r/w	The 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).
