General Settings

The below screenshot shows a list of the available General Settings in PDF Converter:

Here is a description of each setting:

Let users email debug information (errors, forms) to Technical Support

If enabled, and in case a system error occurs, the user will be able to automatically create a new email containing the relevant debugging information in order to send it to SWING Software's support team.

Before sending the email, the user may choose which information they wish to send or leave out.

Enable low level document rendering

The low level document rendering uses SWING Software's proprietary document rendering system in order to improve the PDF conversion fidelity.

If enabled, PDF Converter will attempt to save a DLL file to the user's Notes installation folder after the first PDF conversion attempt, and therefore the user should have write permissions on this folder enabled.

Render "hide when printed" paragraphs

If enabled, PDF Converter will render the otherwise hidden Notes document paragraphs in the created PDF files.

Include hidden attachments

If enabled, the hidden attachments will be included in the PDF file as normal attachments.

Convert protected emails

If enabled, protected emails (which cannot be printed, copied or forwarded) will be included in the PDF export.

Enabled document selection sorting

If enabled, the selected documents will be exported to PDF in same order as shown in the Lotus Notes view.

Enable HTTP stream

If enabled, the external document/email resources (such as external email images in newsletters etc.) will be rendered in the created PDF files.

HTTP timeout

If set to 0 seconds, the HTTP timeout will be disabled. If set to a different number of seconds, then PDF Converter will attempt to grab the HTTP for a specified number of seconds. If the download fails within the specified time interval, the document conversion will be listed as failed in the conversion log.

Document conversion timeout

If set to 0 seconds, the conversion timeout will be disabled. If set to a different number of seconds, then each document conversion will only run for the specified number of seconds.

If the conversion does not complete successfully within the set interval, the conversion job will be listed as failed in the conversion log.

Enable document conversion log

If enabled, the conversion log will record the following information for each conversion job: start/end time, source database, number of converted vs. failed documents.

The conversion log may be viewed in the History log section of PDF Converter's administration menu.

Enable Java Debug Console logging

If enabled, SWING PDF Converter will display standard run time information in the Java Debug Console or in the Server log (if running on Domino Server).

Transcode inline images

Option should be enabled only if PDF reader application can not render PDF document images (images shown as black rectangles or "Error loading image" message).

Note that enabling image transcoding can significantly decrease conversion performances.

Run on

Specifies whether the conversion code will be executed on the client or on the server side (default is Client).
