 Basic settings

Define the basic parameters for the service.

Create a PDF file

If this parameter is turned off, only a JPG file will be created. It can be placed in the text of emails using the %image variable. If it is turned on, both PDF and JPG files will be created. At the same time, when calculating the amount of space occupied in the Disk, only the size of the JPG file is taken into account.

The PDF file can be of two types

• Raster file. In this case, the document background is merged with the text. Text in such a document cannot be selected and copied. Such a file is suitable for certificates and diplomas, where it is important that the recipient cannot easily select the background and use it in another program.
• Text separately from the background. In this file, the text is placed on top of the background and can be selected and copied. Such a file is suitable, for example, for gift certificates, where the ability to copy any promotion code is important. Usually, the background of such a file does not represent any value and serves only for decoration.

Make a slight text blur

Text that already exists in the document background usually looks slightly less clear than the text that is added in DiMaker. This is because a raster image is used as the background, and the font is vector-based.

To make the difference between the text on the background and the added text not too noticeable, the text added in DiMaker can be slightly blurred. Thus, it will practically not differ from the text on the background image.

You can choose the degree of blur so that as little difference as possible is visible between the text on the background and the text created in the editor. The higher the quality of the source image, the less degree of blurring is needed.

Improved quality of the finished files.

By default, finished files are created with JPEG compression of 75%. However, in some cases, this degree of compression may adversely affect the quality of the finished files. Enabling this switch increases compression to 100%. However, this also increases the file size by one and a half times.

You need to carefully evaluate the need to enable this switch when sending files by email. The limit on attachment size is 10 MB. If both JPG and PDF files are expected to be included in the email and the total size of these two files is more than 10 MB, the emails will not be sent.

Add a unique ID to the name of the finished file

Files in Disk are named after the Document name or as indicated in the "File name" column when creating files. If file names repeat, they will still be saved in the folder. Thus, a folder may contain multiple files with the same name. If manual work with files is anticipated after their creation, adding an ID to the file makes it easier to work with them.
