getEmbedFullFonts/setEmbedFullFonts

public boolean getEmbedFullFonts() / public void setEmbedFullFonts(boolean value)
Controls how fonts are embedded into the resulting PDF documents.

The default value is false, which means the fonts are subsetted before embedding. Subsetting is useful if you want to keep the output file size smaller. Subsetting removes all unused glyphs from a font.

When this value is set to true, a complete font file is embedded into PDF without subsetting. This will result in larger output files, but can be a useful option when you want to edit the resulting PDF later (e.g. add more text).

Some fonts are large (several megabytes) and embedding them without subsetting will result in large output documents.

Example:

Demonstrates how to set Aspose.Words to embed full fonts in the output PDF document.
// Load the document to render
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx");

// Aspose.Words embeds full fonts by default when EmbedFullFonts is set to true
// The property below can be changed each time a document is rendered
PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();
options.setEmbedFullFonts(true);

// The output PDF will be embedded with all fonts found in the document
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Rendering.EmbedFullFonts.pdf", options);

Example:

Demonstrates how to set Aspose.Words to subset fonts in the output PDF.
// Load the document to render
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx");

// To subset fonts in the output PDF document, simply create new PdfSaveOptions and set EmbedFullFonts to false
PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();
options.setEmbedFullFonts(false);

// The output PDF will contain subsets of the fonts in the document
// Only the glyphs used in the document are included in the PDF fonts
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Rendering.SubsetFonts.pdf", options);

getEncryptionDetails/setEncryptionDetails

public PdfEncryptionDetails getEncryptionDetails() / public void setEncryptionDetails(PdfEncryptionDetails value)
Gets or sets the details for encrypting the output PDF document.

The default value is null and the output document will not be encrypted. When this property is set to a valid PdfEncryptionDetails object, then the output PDF document will be encrypted.

Note that encryption cannot be used when PDF/A compliance is set as this compliance does not permit encryption.");

Example:

Demonstrates how to set permissions on a PDF document generated by Aspose.Words.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx");

PdfSaveOptions saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();

// Create encryption details and set owner password
PdfEncryptionDetails encryptionDetails = new PdfEncryptionDetails("", "password", PdfEncryptionAlgorithm.RC_4_128);

// Start by disallowing all permissions
encryptionDetails.setPermissions(PdfPermissions.DISALLOW_ALL);

// Extend permissions to allow editing or modifying annotations
encryptionDetails.setPermissions(PdfPermissions.MODIFY_ANNOTATIONS | PdfPermissions.DOCUMENT_ASSEMBLY);
saveOptions.setEncryptionDetails(encryptionDetails);

// Render the document to PDF format with the specified permissions

getEscapeUri/setEscapeUri

public boolean getEscapeUri() / public void setEscapeUri(boolean value)
A flag specifying whether URI should be escaped before writing. Note that if this option is set to false hyperlinks are written "as is", so valid (escaped) URI should be provided in document's model.

The default value is true.

Example:

Shows how to escape hyperlinks in the document.
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder();
builder.insertHyperlink("Testlink", uri, false);

// Set this property to false if you are sure that hyperlinks in document's model are already escaped
PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();
options.setEscapeUri(isEscaped);
options.setOpenHyperlinksInNewWindow(true);

builder.getDocument().save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.EscapedUri.pdf", options);

getExportDocumentStructure/setExportDocumentStructure

public boolean getExportDocumentStructure() / public void setExportDocumentStructure(boolean value)
Gets or sets a value determining whether or not to export document structure.

This value is ignored when saving to PDF/A-1a because document structure is required for this compliance.

Note that exporting the document structure significantly increases the memory consumption, especially for the large documents.

Example:

Shows how to convert a .docx to .pdf while preserving the document structure.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Paragraphs.docx");

// Create a PdfSaveOptions object and configure it to preserve the logical structure that's in the input document
// The file size will be increased and the structure will be visible in the "Content" navigation pane
// of Adobe Acrobat Pro
PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();
options.setExportDocumentStructure(doExportStructure);

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.ExportDocumentStructure.pdf", options);

getFontEmbeddingMode/setFontEmbeddingMode

public int getFontEmbeddingMode() / public void setFontEmbeddingMode(int value)
Specifies the font embedding mode. The value of the property is PdfFontEmbeddingMode integer constant.

The default value is PdfFontEmbeddingMode.EMBED_ALL.

Note that when saving to PDF/A this option must be set to PdfFontEmbeddingMode.EMBED_ALL as all fonts must be embedded in the PDF file.

Example:

Shows how to set Aspose.Words to skip embedding Arial and Times New Roman fonts into a PDF document.
// Load the document to render
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx");

// To disable embedding standard windows font use the PdfSaveOptions and set the EmbedStandardWindowsFonts property to false
PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();
options.setFontEmbeddingMode(PdfFontEmbeddingMode.EMBED_NONE);

// The output PDF will be saved without embedding standard windows fonts
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Rendering.DisableEmbedWindowsFonts.pdf", options);

This property is used in conjunction with the OutlineOptions option.

Example:

Shows how bookmarks in headers/footers are exported to pdf.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Bookmarks in headers and footers.docx");

// You can specify how bookmarks in headers/footers are exported
// There is a several options for this:
// "None" - Bookmarks in headers/footers are not exported
// "First" - Only bookmark in first header/footer of the section is exported
// "All" - Bookmarks in all headers/footers are exported
PdfSaveOptions saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();

saveOptions.setHeaderFooterBookmarksExportMode(headerFooterBookmarksExportMode);
saveOptions.getOutlineOptions().setDefaultBookmarksOutlineLevel(1);
saveOptions.setPageMode(PdfPageMode.USE_OUTLINES);

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.HeaderFooterBookmarksExportMode.pdf", saveOptions);

getImageColorSpaceExportMode/setImageColorSpaceExportMode

public int getImageColorSpaceExportMode() / public void setImageColorSpaceExportMode(int value)
Specifies how the color space will be selected for the images in PDF document. The value of the property is PdfImageColorSpaceExportMode integer constant. The default value is PdfImageColorSpaceExportMode.AUTO. If PdfImageColorSpaceExportMode.SIMPLE_CMYK value is specified, ImageCompression option is ignored and Flate compression is used for all images in the document.

Example:

Shows how to save images to PDF using JPEG encoding to decrease file size.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Images.docx");

PdfSaveOptions pdfSaveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
pdfSaveOptions.setImageCompression(PdfImageCompression.JPEG);
pdfSaveOptions.getDownsampleOptions().setDownsampleImages(false);

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.ImageCompression.pdf", pdfSaveOptions);

PdfSaveOptions pdfSaveOptionsA1B = new PdfSaveOptions();
pdfSaveOptionsA1B.setCompliance(PdfCompliance.PDF_A_1_B);
pdfSaveOptionsA1B.setImageCompression(PdfImageCompression.JPEG);
pdfSaveOptionsA1B.getDownsampleOptions().setDownsampleImages(false);
// Use JPEG compression at 50% quality to reduce file size
pdfSaveOptionsA1B.setJpegQuality(100);
pdfSaveOptionsA1B.setImageColorSpaceExportMode(PdfImageColorSpaceExportMode.SIMPLE_CMYK);

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.ImageCompression.PDF_A_1_B.pdf", pdfSaveOptionsA1B);

PdfSaveOptions pdfSaveOptionsA1A = new PdfSaveOptions();
pdfSaveOptionsA1A.setCompliance(PdfCompliance.PDF_A_1_A);

getImageCompression/setImageCompression

public int getImageCompression() / public void setImageCompression(int value)
Specifies compression type to be used for all images in the document. The value of the property is PdfImageCompression integer constant.

Default is PdfImageCompression.AUTO.

Using PdfImageCompression.JPEG lets you control the quality of images in the output document through the JpegQuality property.

Using PdfImageCompression.JPEG provides the fastest conversion speed when compared to the performance of other compression types, but in this case, there is lossy JPEG compression.

Using PdfImageCompression.AUTO lets to control the quality of Jpeg in the output document through the JpegQuality property, but for other formats, raw pixel data is extracted and saved with Flate compression. This case is slower than Jpeg conversion but lossless.

Example:

Shows how to save images to PDF using JPEG encoding to decrease file size.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Images.docx");

PdfSaveOptions pdfSaveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
pdfSaveOptions.setImageCompression(PdfImageCompression.JPEG);
pdfSaveOptions.getDownsampleOptions().setDownsampleImages(false);

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.ImageCompression.pdf", pdfSaveOptions);

PdfSaveOptions pdfSaveOptionsA1B = new PdfSaveOptions();
pdfSaveOptionsA1B.setCompliance(PdfCompliance.PDF_A_1_B);
pdfSaveOptionsA1B.setImageCompression(PdfImageCompression.JPEG);
pdfSaveOptionsA1B.getDownsampleOptions().setDownsampleImages(false);
// Use JPEG compression at 50% quality to reduce file size
pdfSaveOptionsA1B.setJpegQuality(100);
pdfSaveOptionsA1B.setImageColorSpaceExportMode(PdfImageColorSpaceExportMode.SIMPLE_CMYK);

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.ImageCompression.PDF_A_1_B.pdf", pdfSaveOptionsA1B);

PdfSaveOptions pdfSaveOptionsA1A = new PdfSaveOptions();

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.ImageCompression.PDF_A_1_A.pdf", pdfSaveOptionsA1A);

getInterpolateImages/setInterpolateImages

public boolean getInterpolateImages() / public void setInterpolateImages(boolean value)
A flag indicating whether image interpolation shall be performed by a conforming reader. When false is specified, the flag is not written to the output document and the default behaviour of reader is used instead.

When the resolution of a source image is significantly lower than that of the output device, each source sample covers many device pixels. As a result, images can appear jaggy or blocky. These visual artifacts can be reduced by applying an image interpolation algorithm during rendering. Instead of painting all pixels covered by a source sample with the same color, image interpolation attempts to produce a smooth transition between adjacent sample values.

A conforming Reader may choose to not implement this feature of PDF, or may use any specific implementation of interpolation that it wishes.

The default value is false.

Example:

Shows how to improve the quality of an image in the rendered documents.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(new File(getImageDir() + "Transparent background logo.png"));
builder.insertImage(img);

PdfSaveOptions saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
saveOptions.setInterpolateImages(true);

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.InterpolateImages.pdf", saveOptions);

getJpegQuality/setJpegQuality

public int getJpegQuality() / public void setJpegQuality(int value)
Gets or sets a value determining the quality of the JPEG images inside PDF document.

The default value is 100.

This property is used in conjunction with the ImageCompression option.

Has effect only when a document contains JPEG images.

Use this property to get or set the quality of the images inside a document when saving in PDF format. The value may vary from 0 to 100 where 0 means worst quality but maximum compression and 100 means best quality but minimum compression. If quality is 100 and source image is JPEG, it means no compression - original bytes will be saved.

Example:

Shows how to save images to PDF using JPEG encoding to decrease file size.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Images.docx");

PdfSaveOptions pdfSaveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
pdfSaveOptions.setImageCompression(PdfImageCompression.JPEG);
pdfSaveOptions.getDownsampleOptions().setDownsampleImages(false);

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.ImageCompression.pdf", pdfSaveOptions);

PdfSaveOptions pdfSaveOptionsA1B = new PdfSaveOptions();
pdfSaveOptionsA1B.setCompliance(PdfCompliance.PDF_A_1_B);
pdfSaveOptionsA1B.setImageCompression(PdfImageCompression.JPEG);
pdfSaveOptionsA1B.getDownsampleOptions().setDownsampleImages(false);
// Use JPEG compression at 50% quality to reduce file size
pdfSaveOptionsA1B.setJpegQuality(100);
pdfSaveOptionsA1B.setImageColorSpaceExportMode(PdfImageColorSpaceExportMode.SIMPLE_CMYK);

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.ImageCompression.PDF_A_1_B.pdf", pdfSaveOptionsA1B);

PdfSaveOptions pdfSaveOptionsA1A = new PdfSaveOptions();

}

getPreblendImages/setPreblendImages

public boolean getPreblendImages() / public void setPreblendImages(boolean value)
Gets or sets a value determining whether or not to preblend transparent images with black background color.

Preblending images may improve PDF document visual appearance in Adobe Reader and remove anti-aliasing artifacts.

In order to properly display preblended images, PDF viewer application must support /Matte entry in soft-mask image dictionary. Also preblending images may decrease PDF rendering performance.

The default value is false.

Example:

Shows how to preblend images with transparent backgrounds.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.insertImage(getImageDir() + "Transparent background logo.png");

// Setting this flag in a SaveOptions object may change the quality and size of the output .pdf

Microsoft Word form fields include text input, drop down and check box controls.

When set to false, these fields will be exported as text to PDF. When set to true, these fields will be exported as PDF form fields.

When exporting form fields to PDF as form fields, some formatting loss might occur because PDF form fields do not support all features of Microsoft Word form fields.

Also, the output size depends on the content size because editable forms in Microsoft Word are inline objects.

Example:

Shows how to save a document to the PDF format using the Save method and the PdfSaveOptions class.
// Open the document
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx");

// Option 1: Save document to file in the PDF format with default options
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Rendering.PdfDefaultOptions.pdf");

// Option 2: Save the document to stream in the PDF format with default options
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
doc.save(stream, SaveFormat.PDF);

// Option 3: Save document to the PDF format with specified options
// Render the first page only and preserve form fields as usable controls and not as plain text
PdfSaveOptions pdfOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
pdfOptions.setPageIndex(0);
pdfOptions.setPageCount(1);
pdfOptions.setPreserveFormFields(true);
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Rendering.PdfCustomOptions.pdf", pdfOptions);

getPrettyFormat/setPrettyFormat

→ inherited from SaveOptions
public boolean getPrettyFormat() / public void setPrettyFormat(boolean value)
When true, pretty formats output where applicable. Default value is false.

Set to true to make HTML, MHTML, EPUB, WordML, RTF, DOCX and ODT output human readable. Useful for testing or debugging.

Example:

Shows how to pass an option to export HTML tags in a well spaced, human readable format.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.docx");

// Enabling the PrettyFormat setting will export HTML in an indented format that is easy to read
// If this is setting is false (by default) then the HTML tags will be exported in condensed form with no indentation
HtmlSaveOptions htmlOptions = new HtmlSaveOptions(SaveFormat.HTML);
htmlOptions.setPrettyFormat(isPrettyFormat);

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.SaveHtmlPrettyFormat.html", htmlOptions);

getSaveFormat/setSaveFormat

public int getSaveFormat() / public void setSaveFormat(int value)
Specifies the format in which the document will be saved if this save options object is used. Can only be SaveFormat.PDF. The value of the property is SaveFormat integer constant.

Example:

Shows how to create PDF document outline entries for headings.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Creating TOC entries
builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_1);
Assert.assertTrue(builder.getParagraphFormat().isHeading());

builder.writeln("Heading 1");

builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_4);

builder.writeln("Heading 1.1.1.1");
builder.writeln("Heading 1.1.1.2");

builder.getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_9);

builder.writeln("Heading 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1");
builder.writeln("Heading 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.2");

// Create "PdfSaveOptions" with some mandatory parameters
// "HeadingsOutlineLevels" specifies how many levels of headings to include in the document outline
// "CreateMissingOutlineLevels" determining whether or not to create missing heading levels
PdfSaveOptions pdfSaveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
pdfSaveOptions.getOutlineOptions().setHeadingsOutlineLevels(9);
pdfSaveOptions.getOutlineOptions().setCreateMissingOutlineLevels(true);
pdfSaveOptions.setSaveFormat(SaveFormat.PDF);

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.CreateMissingOutlineLevels.pdf", pdfSaveOptions);

getTempFolder/setTempFolder

→ inherited from SaveOptions
public java.lang.String getTempFolder() / public void setTempFolder(java.lang.String value)
Specifies the folder for temporary files used when saving to a DOC or DOCX file. By default this property is null and no temporary files are used.

When Aspose.Words saves a document, it needs to create temporary internal structures. By default, these internal structures are created in memory and the memory usage spikes for a short period while the document is being saved. When saving is complete, the memory is freed and reclaimed by the garbage collector.

If you are saving a very large document (thousands of pages) and/or processing many documents at the same time, then the memory spike during saving can be significant enough to cause the system to throw System.OutOfMemoryException. Specifying a temporary folder using TempFolder will cause Aspose.Words to keep the internal structures in temporary files instead of memory. It reduces the memory usage during saving, but will decrease the save performance.

The folder must exist and be writable, otherwise an exception will be thrown.

Aspose.Words automatically deletes all temporary files when saving is complete.

Example:

Shows how to save a document using temporary files.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx");

// We can use a SaveOptions object to set the saving method of a document from a MemoryStream to temporary files
// While saving, the files will briefly pop up in the folder we set as the TempFolder attribute below
// Doing this will free up space in the memory that the stream would usually occupy
DocSaveOptions options = new DocSaveOptions();
options.setTempFolder(getArtifactsDir() + "TempFiles");

// Ensure that the directory exists and save
new File(options.getTempFolder()).mkdir();

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "DocSaveOptions.TempFolder.doc", options);

getTextCompression/setTextCompression

public int getTextCompression() / public void setTextCompression(int value)
Specifies compression type to be used for all textual content in the document. The value of the property is PdfTextCompression integer constant.

Default is PdfTextCompression.FLATE.

Significantly increases output size when saving a document without compression.

Example:

Saves a document to PDF without compression.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx");

PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();
options.setTextCompression(PdfTextCompression.NONE);

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Rendering.SaveToPdfNoCompression.pdf", options);

getUpdateFields/setUpdateFields

→ inherited from SaveOptions
public boolean getUpdateFields() / public void setUpdateFields(boolean value)
Gets or sets a value determining if fields of certain types should be updated before saving the document to a fixed page format. Default value for this property is true. Allows to specify whether to mimic or not MS Word behavior.

Example:

Shows how to update fields before saving into a PDF document.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Insert two pages of text, including two fields that will need to be updated to display an accurate value
builder.write("Page ");
builder.insertField("PAGE", "");
builder.write(" of ");
builder.insertField("NUMPAGES", "");
builder.insertBreak(BreakType.PAGE_BREAK);
builder.writeln("Hello World!");

PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();
options.setUpdateFields(doUpdateFields);

// PdfSaveOptions objects can be cloned
Assert.assertNotSame(options, options.deepClone());

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.UpdateFields.pdf", options);

getUpdateLastPrintedProperty/setUpdateLastPrintedProperty

→ inherited from SaveOptions
public boolean getUpdateLastPrintedProperty() / public void setUpdateLastPrintedProperty(boolean value)
Gets or sets a value determining whether the BuiltInDocumentProperties.LastPrinted property is updated before saving.

Example:

Shows how to update BuiltInDocumentProperties.LastPrinted property before saving.
Document doc = new Document();

// Aspose.Words update BuiltInDocumentProperties.LastPrinted property by default

tag.getListItems().add(new SdtListItem("Value 2"));
tag.getListItems().add(new SdtListItem("Value 3"));
tag.getListItems().setSelectedValue(tag.getListItems().get(1));

doc.getFirstSection().getBody().appendChild(tag);

// We've selected default values for both tags
// We can save those values in the document without immediately updating the tags, leaving them in their default state
// by using a SaveOptions object with this flag set
PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();
options.setUpdateSdtContent(updateSdtContent);

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "StructuredDocumentTag.UpdateSdtContent.pdf", options);

getUseAntiAliasing/setUseAntiAliasing

→ inherited from SaveOptions
public boolean getUseAntiAliasing() / public void setUseAntiAliasing(boolean value)
Gets or sets a value determining whether or not to use anti-aliasing for rendering.

The default value is false. When this value is set to true anti-aliasing is used for rendering.

This property is used when the document is exported to the following formats: SaveFormat.TIFF, SaveFormat.PNG, SaveFormat.BMP, SaveFormat.JPEG, SaveFormat.EMF. When the document is exported to the SaveFormat.HTML, SaveFormat.MHTML and SaveFormat.EPUB formats this option is used for raster images.

Example:

Shows how to improve the quality of a rendered document with SaveOptions.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx");
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.getFont().setSize(60.0);
builder.writeln("Some text.");

SaveOptions options = new ImageSaveOptions(SaveFormat.JPEG);

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.ImageSaveOptions.Default.jpg", options);

options.setUseAntiAliasing(true);
options.setUseHighQualityRendering(true);

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.ImageSaveOptions.HighQuality.jpg", options);

getUseBookFoldPrintingSettings/setUseBookFoldPrintingSettings

public boolean getUseBookFoldPrintingSettings() / public void setUseBookFoldPrintingSettings(boolean value)
Gets or sets a boolean value indicating whether the document should be saved using a booklet printing layout, if it is specified via PageSetup.MultiplePages.

If this option is specified, page range set via PageIndex and PageCount is ignored when saving. This behavior matches MS Word. If book fold printing settings are not specified in page setup, this option will have no effect.

Example:

Shows how to save a document to the PDF format in the form of a book fold.
// Open a document with multiple paragraphs
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Paragraphs.docx");

// Configure both page setup and PdfSaveOptions to create a book fold
for (Section s : (Iterable<Section>) doc.getSections()) {
    s.getPageSetup().setMultiplePages(MultiplePagesType.BOOK_FOLD_PRINTING);
}

PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();
options.setUseBookFoldPrintingSettings(doRenderTextAsBookfold);

// In order to make a booklet, we will need to print this document, stack the pages
// in the order they come out of the printer and then fold down the middle
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.SaveAsPdfBookFold.pdf", options);

getUseCoreFonts/setUseCoreFonts

public boolean getUseCoreFonts() / public void setUseCoreFonts(boolean value)
Gets or sets a value determining whether or not to substitute TrueType fonts Arial, Times New Roman, Courier New and Symbol with core PDF Type 1 fonts.

The default value is false. When this value is set to true Arial, Times New Roman, Courier New and Symbol fonts are replaced in PDF document with corresponding core Type 1 font.

Core PDF fonts, or their font metrics and suitable substitution fonts, are required to be available to any PDF viewer application.

This setting works only for the text in ANSI (Windows-1252) encoding. Non-ANSI text will be written with embedded TrueType font regardless of this setting.

Settings core fonts to true is not allowed when saving to PDF/A as this compliance requires all fonts to be embedded.

This option has a higher priority then FontEmbeddingMode option.

Example:

Shows how to set Aspose.Words to avoid embedding core fonts and let the reader substitute PDF Type 1 fonts instead.
// Load the document to render
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx");

// To disable embedding of core fonts and substitute PDF type 1 fonts set UseCoreFonts to true
PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();
options.setUseCoreFonts(true);

// The output PDF will not be embedded with core fonts such as Arial, Times New Roman etc.
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Rendering.DisableEmbedCoreFonts.pdf", options);

getUseHighQualityRendering/setUseHighQualityRendering

→ inherited from SaveOptions
public boolean getUseHighQualityRendering() / public void setUseHighQualityRendering(boolean value)
Gets or sets a value determining whether or not to use high quality (i.e. slow) rendering algorithms. The default value is false.

This property is used when the document is exported to image formats: SaveFormat.TIFF, SaveFormat.PNG, SaveFormat.BMP, SaveFormat.JPEG, SaveFormat.EMF.

Example:

Shows how to improve the quality of a rendered document with SaveOptions.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx");
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.getFont().setSize(60.0);
builder.writeln("Some text.");

SaveOptions options = new ImageSaveOptions(SaveFormat.JPEG);

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.ImageSaveOptions.Default.jpg", options);

options.setUseAntiAliasing(true);
options.setUseHighQualityRendering(true);

doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.ImageSaveOptions.HighQuality.jpg", options);

getZoomBehavior/setZoomBehavior

public int getZoomBehavior() / public void setZoomBehavior(int value)
Gets or sets a value determining what type of zoom should be applied when a document is opened with a PDF viewer. The value of the property is PdfZoomBehavior integer constant. The default value is PdfZoomBehavior.NONE, i.e. no fit is applied.

Example:

Shows how to set the default zooming of an output PDF to 1/4 of default size.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx");

PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();
{
    options.setZoomBehavior(PdfZoomBehavior.ZOOM_FACTOR);
    options.setZoomFactor(25);
}

// Upon opening the .pdf with a viewer such as Adobe Acrobat Pro, the zoom level will be at 25% by default,
// with thumbnails for each page to the left
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.ZoomBehaviour.pdf", options);

getZoomFactor/setZoomFactor

public int getZoomFactor() / public void setZoomFactor(int value)
Gets or sets a value determining zoom factor (in percentages) for a document. This value is used only if ZoomBehavior is set to PdfZoomBehavior.ZOOM_FACTOR.

Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Rendering.docx");

PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();
{
    options.setZoomBehavior(PdfZoomBehavior.ZOOM_FACTOR);
    options.setZoomFactor(25);
}

// Upon opening the .pdf with a viewer such as Adobe Acrobat Pro, the zoom level will be at 25% by default,
// with thumbnails for each page to the left
doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "PdfSaveOptions.ZoomBehaviour.pdf", options);

Method Detail

deepClone

public PdfSaveOptions deepClone()
Creates a deep clone of this object.

builder.write("Page ");
builder.insertField("PAGE", "");
builder.write(" of ");
builder.insertField("NUMPAGES", "");
builder.insertBreak(BreakType.PAGE_BREAK);
builder.writeln("Hello World!");

PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();
options.setUpdateFields(doUpdateFields);

// PdfSaveOptions objects can be cloned
Assert.assertNotSame(options, options.deepClone());
