In this article (read also next one) you will learn how to prepare a closed project file to be more friendly for using a RIP and producing less problems with providing a PDF for offset printing. With use of Krasbit Layouter prepress features you can quickly optimize your project for professional, high quality and non-problematic print. This is done by producing single background bitmap from all complex including effects objects or specially marked for being flatten shapes. You may also use this macro to protect your vector artworks from being copied form your final document in easy way, because they may be optionally rasterized and flattened with the background after optimization. All the other simple vectors elements and all the text will be placed above flattened background bitmap. You should also consider to convert automatically all text objects to curves before producing PDF file. All of described task can be done automatically with use of Krasbit Layouter - project optimization and advanced export tab.
First, you must define where the content should be optimized. You may choose between:
- current document
- new - every page separated
current document
If you selected this option then all content will be processed within the active document and an irreversible changes may occur within current document. For this reason, a backup copy of original content should be created before you run that kind of processing. You may do it manually or select the save as new name checkbox. In that case, the document will be saved with providing the new name before run the optimization routines.
The second parameter - clear history and save after ... pages is used to force the CorelDRAW® application to clear history and save document on every provided number of pages. This is because optimization is a process which absorbing a lot of the CPU and memory resources. Set a lower values to this parameter if you had experienced the hanging of CorelDRAW® while processing large amount of pages.
new - every page separated
