Configuration

By default, DynamicPDF Core Suite for .NET creates single-pass (non-linearized) PDF documents tagged as PDF version 1.7. Change these values either programmatically or through a global configuration file. Apply the configuration values globally through a configuration file. Apply the configuration values to a single Document instance through the instance's PdfVersion and PdfFormat properties.

Configuration values set for a Document overrides any global configuration values.

Configuration File

Specify the default PDF version and global format using the appSettings node in your application's .config (web.config for web applications) file. The following example illustrates.

<appSettings>
  <add key=" ceTe.DynamicPDF.Document.DefaultPdfFormat" value="Linearized" />
  <add key=" ceTe.DynamicPDF.Document.DefaultPdfVersion" value="1.5" />
</appsettings>

The following table provides the key name and the acceptable values.

Key Acceptable Values Default
ceTe.DynamicPDF.Document.DefaultPdfFormat SinglePass, Linearized SinglePass
ceTe.DynamicPDF.Document.DefaultPdfVersion 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 1.7

Static Properties

The DefaultPdfFormat and DefaultPdfVersion static properties for a Document object can also be set programmatically rather than in a .config file.

document.DefaultPdfFormat = PdfFormat.Linearized;
document.DefaultPdfVersion = PdfVersion.v1_5;        
document.DefaultPdfFormat = PdfFormat.Linearized
document.DefaultPdfVersion = PdfVersion.v1_5        

This only affects document objects created after the static properties are set.
