Convert Bookmarks For MS Word, convert bookmarks

Depth This property will take effect only when the ConvertBookmarks property is set to True. Numbers defining bookmark levels must be equal to or larger than one. Word style names must not repeat in the string. The string must not start or end with the delimiter. When this property is empty, the default style mapping (Heading one through nine will be mapped to level one through nine) will be used. Therefore, an empty string is functionally equivalent to Heading 1 1, Heading 2 2, Heading 3 3, Heading 4 4, Heading 5 5, Heading 6 6, Heading 7 7, Heading 8 8, Heading 9 9. Note: If you use a non-English version of Microsoft Word, then you may need to replace the word “Heading” with its localized version.

Image and Font Conversion Settings
Option Description
Image Compression If you want a lossless image compression, use PRN_IMAGE_COMPRESS_ZIP (ZIP compression).
Font Embedding The option PRN_FONT_EMBED_FULLSET (embedding a full set of fonts) will cause a significant increase in PDF file size, especially for CJK font, and therefore not recommended.  If you need to embed the font, PRN_FONT_EMBED_SUBSET (embed subset of fonts) will be a better choice.
Font Substitution For the PRN_FONT_SUBST_TABLE (use font substitution table) option, you need to configure the substitution table. The table is stored under the “Device Setting” section of the printer driver properties (can be accessed from the Control Panel).
Embed Fonts as Type 0 This option is recommended if you have non-standard fonts like barcode font.
Image Downsizing If this property is set to True, then the resolution of images is reduced to the DPI value specified in the ImageDownsizeResolution property.
Image JPEG Quality The allowed value range is from 5 to 100 with 100 being the highest quality.
Downsize Resolution If the ImageDownsizing property is set to True, then the resolution of images is reduced to the DPI value specified in this property.
