Using Configuration Files

 

Several customers requested the ability to easily use different dithering patterns for different clients.  To accommodate these customers we have added a simple configuration files ability into AcroPlot Repro.  These files must be created with a text editor like notepad and must be called acroplotrepro.ini.  The program will search for this file in the same location as the file it is converting and also in any parent folders above the file location.  This way you can have one configuration file for multiple projects.

+Client1

        acroplotrepro.ini

        +Project1

                file1.pdf

                +electical

                      filee1.pdf

                      filee2.pdf

                +mechanical

                      filem1.pdf

        +Project2

                file2.pdf

+Client2

        acroplotrepro.ini

        +Project1

                file1.pdf

        +Project2

                file2.pdf

 

In the configuration file you can override the settings for the dither type, brightness, and dpi.  If you only want to override the dither type setting then just include one line in the file.

dithertype=10

brightness=-100

dpi=600

 

Valid Values for each are:

dithertype

-1 = Use Ghostscript instead

0 = Error Diffusion Pattern 1

1 = Error Diffusion Pattern 2

2 = Error Diffusion Pattern 3

3 = Clustered Dithering (16 shades)

4 = Clustered Dithering (36 shades)

5 = Clustered Dithering (64 shades)

6 = Clustered Dithering (100 shades)

10 = AcroPlot Repro Enhanced Dithering

100 = Force all to Black

brightness = -100 to 100

dpi = 150, 200, 300, 400, or 600
