Instance Properties

Name Description Access
clipComplexRegions bool If true, ensures that the boundaries between vector and rasterized artwork fall along object paths. read-write
convertAllStrokesToOutlines bool If true, converts all strokes to outlines and ensures that stroke widths remain constant during flattening. Note: Can cause thin strokes to appear slightly thicker than their original width. Affects all strokes, not only strokes involved in the transparency. read-write
convertAllTextToOutlines bool If true, converts all text to outlines and discards all type glyph information on spreads with transparency; ensures that the width of text strokes remains constant during flattening. Note: Can cause small fonts to appear slightly thicker when viewed in Acrobat or printed on low-quality desktop printers, but does not affect type quality when printed on high-resolution printers or imagesetters. read-write
eventListeners EventListeners A collection of event listeners. read-only
events Events A collection of events. read-only
gradientAndMeshResolution number The resolution for gradients rasterized as a result of flattening and for drop shadow and feathers when printed or exported. (Range: 0 to 1200) Note: Resolutions higher than 300 ppi increase file size and printing time but generally do not improve the image quality. read-write
isValid bool Returns true if the object specifier resolves to valid objects. read-only
lineArtAndTextResolution number The resolution for vector objects rasterized as a result of flattening. (Range: 1 to 9600) For information, see raster vector balance. read-write
parent Spread The parent of the FlattenerPreference (a Spread). read-only
properties Object A property that allows setting of several properties at the same time. read-write
rasterVectorBalance The amount of vector artwork to rasterize during flattening, specified as an enumerator or as a percentage in the range 0 to 100. Can return: FlattenerLevel enumerator or Real (0 - 100). read-write
