Was it the PDFSETTINGS=/printer or the DoNumCopies? What does the change really do? A half hour of Internet research didn't turn up much: -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen (screen-view-only quality, 72 dpi images) -dPDFSETTINGS=/ebook (low quality, 150 dpi images) -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer (high quality, 300 dpi images) -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress (high quality, color preserving, 300 dpi imgs) -dPDFSETTINGS=/default (almost identical to /screen) I do not know what color preserving means. I am a little concerned about size. We have had some issues where the wrong settings is the difference between sending a 2MB file and a 40MB file (I don't recall the exact number but I believe the difference was much greater) which can be critical when printing across a WAN. This is from the CutePDF FAQ: How to reduce the size of output PDF file? You can alter the parameters used in a text file "%Program Files%\Acro Software\CutePDF Writer\PDFWrite.rsp". The key parameters are in the line: -dPDFSETTINGS=configuration where configuration can be /screen, /printer, /prepress, /default. Using /Printer can cut size by half.
Thanks for your critical feedback. I have only applied the DoNumCopies setting, the PDFSETTINGS=prepress I have left untouched.
I will build a package of the latest commit and Helmer has to test. Ok Helmer?
