If set to true, KFXConverter sets the table width based on the page size in output PDF files.

FixedColumnWidths

Resizes the table column width in the output PDF file as per the content in the input HTML file tables. Default: False

Note When column width in an input file table is large, file conversion may result in data loss. To prevent data loss, set FixedColumnWidths to True.

AllowedErrors

If Standard is selected in PDF to PDF/A conversion engine in Message Connector, then KFXConverter allows the document conversion with the specific conversion errors. To allow one or more conversion errors at the time of conversion, set the value of AllowedErrors to one error code or a combination of error codes. If AllowedErrors=0, no error is allowed at the time of document conversion. Default: 128

All the error codes and all possible values generating from an OR operation of the following error codes can be used to ignore one or more document conversion errors.

Error code

Description

4

Allows visual differences in output file

8

Allows resolving name collisions of colorants (PDF/A-2 and PDF/A-3 only)

16

Allows removing optional content groups (layers). For PDF/A-1 only.

32

Allows removing transparency. For PDF/A-1 only.

64

Allows removing embedded files

128

Allows removing non-convertible XMP metadata

512

Allows removing all signatures while normalizing the signed document. The conversion of a file to PDF/A invalidates all signatures of the input file.

4096

Allows normalizing corrupt input document

16384

Allows substituting similar font when the same font is not available for embedding.

32768

Allows removing interactive elements such as actions or annotations

Do the following to minimize the document conversion errors:

  • Convert input documents to PDF/A-2 instead of PDF/A-1. As PDF/A-2 allows some features of newer versions of the PDF reference such as transparency, optional content (layers), or embedded files.

  • If fonts were substituted for earlier processing, install the missing fonts.

  • For documents with non-convertible XMP Metadata, update the PDF creating software to generate valid XMP metadata.

For example,

  • If AllowedErrors=4, the visual differences in output file does not cause a document conversion error.
  • If AllowedErrors=132, that is, combination of error code 4 and error code128, the conversion is done even if there are visual differences in the output file or non-convertible XMP metadata is removed.

TEXT2PDF

FontType

Specify the font type for the generated PDF. The font must be installed on the computer on which KFXConverter is used. Default: Arial Unicode MS
