PDF2DTP Conversion Tools:
Some Features in Markzware’s PDF2DTP
• ability to create proper twist-down folder sub-sections for Bookmarks.
• The Convert PDF menu item allows you to select and convert all pages in a PDF file to InDesign CS6 through CC 2017.
• The glyph editor tool allows users to manually select which glyph (a character as displayed in the document) to use for a missing glyph.
• access the PDF2DTP version number, link to the online PDF2DTP manual, and link to the Markzware Tech Support Request Form (via the Help menu item).
• The Convert Page Range menu item allows you to select a PDF file and range of pages to convert. The settings used will be current values set under the Preferences area.
• Document Settings Preferences
1. Select the “Save Document” checkbox to automatically save your new document to the designated conversion folder upon completion of the conversion.
2. Select the “Save Image Previews” checkbox to save the image previews in the PDF to the conversion folder, otherwise the previews will have no link (similar to a pasted PICT). Since these images have no known pathname they will be given names such as “Image09-p03.tif” (where the last number is the page number on which the picture box resides).
3. Select the “Reuse Duplicates” checkbox to save only one image preview file if there are duplicates, in which case each occurrence of the preview in the document will use the same file. This preference is useful because it can speed up the conversion process especially when the same large preview is used on multiple pages. The drawback is the file name will be formed by using the page number of the first occurrence of the preview in the document with a plus sign (“+”) appended to the preview file name.
4. Select the “Clipping Paths” checkbox to save the Clipping Path in the preview file.
5. Select the “ICC Profiles” checkbox to save an ICC Profile, if defined in the PDF, to the preview file.
6. Select the “Duotones EPS” checkbox to save the image preview to a Duotone EPS if the color space is defined as DeviceN and uses Spot (named) colors (i.e. “PANTONE 123 C”).
7. Select the “Save Missing Images (OPI)” checkbox to create a file in the conversion folder for a missing image which has a known name. This allows you to eventually update the images upon locating the originals.
8. “Unlink Images” is related to the Save Image Previews and the Save Missing Images (OPI) preferences. If a PDF contains an image path (i.e., OPI data) and PDF2DTP can locate that image, it will link to it. If no OPI data is present in the PDF, or the image pointed to by OPI data cannot be found, then, if Save Image Previews is unchecked, the image will be listed with a Status of No Disk File under the Links window. If Save Image Previews is checked, then PDF2DTP will attempt to create a preview image and name it using the following format: Image01-p01.tif, where Image01 represents the number of the image on a page and p01 represents the page in the document where the image is located.
• The Converting PDF progress bar that appears during conversion allows you to track the file conversion process. This window displays the number of the page now converting (within the range of pages), the total number of pages in the range, and the time usage.
• The “Linked Text Boxes” Preference attempts to link text boxes into a “chain”.
