Description
help with processing of
gradients with spot
colors
Defines the amount of
memory used for a
page file during the
RIP process.
Defines the valed
range for the number
of segments it takes to
make a curve. A
lower number
creates a more
accurate curve.
(Reference help file;
Configure RIP section)
Used to tell the RIP to
be more verbose in its
output to the Jaws
window.
If you are using
CCADL this will disable
it to make spot color
replacement faster. It
basically
reverts spot color
replacement to how it
worked in a previous
implementation which
had issues. In general
you don't
want to use this
option. Obsolete upon
release of 7.2.
Sets the rendering
intent used for out of
gamut spot colors.

not selected,

This is internally
automatically set to

ripped with the
TRANSPARENCY option
enabled.
Fix Image
Transparency. This is
used to disable a fix
for transparent images
in PDF files. It is here
based on the fact that
not all PDF files are
created to handle
image transparencies
in the same way. This
will only
affect files that contain
image elements with
transparent
backgrounds.

all PDF

added to turn off the

isn't fixed.
FIXSPOTTRANS and
FIXIMGTRANS are
related in that
FIXSPOTTRANS is
required for
FIXIMGTRANS to be
used.
Turning OFF
FIXSPOTTRANS will
automatically disable
FIXIMGTRANS.
Temporary swap
workspace for the
RIP. Will not affect
color but the drive it is
set to must be large
enough to be used as
a swap workspace.
Allow the color
channels to overprint
rather than knockout
zero channel data.
Allow overprint of
elements made of only
the black channel
without knockout of
other channel data.
Allow the PDF file to
define the cropped
area of the image.
This can be used to
turn off embedded
ICCs in PDF files.

Disable the onyx override of handling of
transparency elements
(PDF only).
Disable the use of
splines when
generating cut paths.
At this point there are
limited cutters that
use the splines,
however the cutter
drivers will interpret
the splines into line
segments
automatically. You
should not need to
turn this off unless
you are
troubleshooting a
cutter.
Adjust the size of the
section being
rendered. The larger
you go, the potentially
faster the rip time will
go. If you go too high,
you will get VMerrors.
This is dependent on
printing resolution and
the amount of
memory you have.
Usually I would go
about the highest of 5.

I believe the font
name is case

This option defines the
resolutions for
transparency areas in
an image. This does
not affect the other
elements outside of
the transparency. The
physical size also
remains the same.
This option allows spot
channel images to
overprint other image
data without replacing
other data.
This option allows spot
replacement to be
performed if spot is
participating int a
gradient fill.
This forces most color
management
operations to be
performed after the
page is rendered. The
FIXGREYIMGOVERPRINT
ON
value determines the
color space that all
colors are rendered
two. When enabled
and set to CMYK the
CMYK Images profile
will be used to convert
from the rendered
page to the final
output color apace.
This option forces
single channel K
images to not undergo
profile conversion
(preserving black
generation) for
purposes of
maintaining overprint
characteristics of

TheAdobePDFPrint
EngineinThrive
Thrive uses the Adobe PDF Print Engine for converting PDF/PS/EPS document files into pixels
for the purposes of printing. The Adobe PDF Print Engine is a native PDF Interpreter and pixel
rasterizer. It utilizes the same interpreting libraries utilized by Adobe products like Acrobat, and
Illustrator. The rendering libraries are similar libraries used by Adobe for other products, but
optimized for large rendering of print ready data. The Adobe PDF Print Engine has been
integrated with the Onyx Color and image processing libraries to generate processed data that
can be printed to large format printers.
For PS/EPS documents the Adobe PDF Print Engine module in Thrive has been equipped to use
the Adobe Normalizer technology to first convert the postscript code into PDF before it is
interpreted and rendered by the Adobe PDF Print Engine. The use of the Adobe Normalizer is
automatic and requires no user intervention, and there are no controls associated with the use of
Normalizer by the Adobe PDF Print Engine module in Thrive. The first time a PS/EPS file is
rendered the Adobe PDF Print Engine UI will first invoke Normalizer (with the status of
Normalizing) to convert the file to PDF before going into the Interpreting stage of processing.
The status and results of the normalizing stage will be shown in the Adobe PDF Print Engine UI.
The converted PDF file is internally stored in the job, and subsequent processing of the job will
not invoke the Normalizer stage. Generally the normalization process is quick, and only takes
any significant time for large PS/EPS files. The following figure shows an example of the
normalization process being applied to an EPS file.
The following quickset options/job options
are available with the Adobe PDF Print
Engine:
The Named Colors tab shows all the spot colors that are used by the pages rendered for the
preview.
The PS/PDF Options allows one to configure whether to use Spot Color Replacement, Cutter
settings, Abort on Missing fonts, and Two stage Processing.
PS/PDF Separations allows one to define if a file is set up as a multi-page separation file (with
each page representing a single color separation (grayscale). The number and order of
separations can be defined
The Adobe Rip Options allows text anti-aliasing to be enabled, and job specific rip options to be
defined.
The Adobe PDF Print Engine has the following RIP options:
Name Value Description APPERENDERTHREADS NO APPLYPDFICCS OFF COMPATMODE CMYK DISABLETHREADS YES Disables simultaneous rendering of contone color planes using threads When checked (and value set to OFF) forces ICC profiles within a PDF file to NOT be used. Profiles will be determined by the profile settings for the job When checked this forces the file to be rendered first as a CMYK contone image. Then the CMYK image profile in the job settings will be used to convert to the final output. Disables halftoning of color channels using threads DOWNSAMPLEIMG OFF EMULATEOVERPRINT NO ENDPAUSE 10000 IGNOREPDLALLBLENDSPACES NO IGNOREPDLOVERPRINT YES MAXBANDMEMSIZE 25000000 MESSAGES ON PRINTPDFANNOTATIONS NO SPOTRENDERINTENT 0 When checked (and value set to OFF) forces image down sampling to NOT be performed (with potential performance loss). By default overprint behavior of spots and process colors is emulated. Checking this turns off this feature. This causes the program to pause at the end of ripping. The total time is in milliseconds. The value of 10000 results in a 10 second pause. Normally Transparency blending is performed using a CMYK working space. Checking this allows blending to be performed using other color spaces. (Note: It is NOT recommended to check this as doing so may result in profiles not being applied to some objects). Checking this disables overprint processing Memory allocated for display list processing. (Should not need to change). Checking this results in more verbose information during the interpreting/rendering process Normally annotations in a pdf file are rendered as part of a page. Checking this causes these “comments” to not be rendered. This specifies the rendering intent to use. If unchecked then the Absolute Colorimetric intent is used. The valid values for this are: 0 = Perceptual 1 = Absolute Colorimetric 2 = Relative Colorimetric 3 = Saturation 128 = Perceptual with BPC 130 = Relative Colorimetric with BPC 131 = Saturation with BPC TRANSGLOBALRASTERIZATION YES X USECMMGPU OFF YES USEPDFCROP When enabled this changes transparency processing to use global rasterization instead of object level rasterization. (Note: For some files with extremely complicated transparency this may improve performance, and reduce the chance of VM errors. It most cases is degrades performance). If a GPU is properly installed it will be used by the RIP for color management conversions. Checking this option forces the rip to NOT use the GPU if it is available Checking this forces the page size to be cropped using the PDF Crop information.
