Trace & Smooth
Trace & Smooth is an advanced setting of compact PDF, which enables you to
convert the text and the line drawings of a scanned image to scalable outline data.
The outline data (Trace) can be extracted and used in Adobe Illustrator. The
smoothing process can also be applied to the text of the outline data, so it has less
of a jagged edge when seen on a PC monitor or in print.
IMPORTANT
•
If you set the Trace & Smooth mode, the machine automatically recognizes which parts
of the document are text or line drawings. the machine may not recognize which parts of
the scanned document are text and line drawings correctly, depending on the scanned
document.
•
If you set the Trace & Smooth mode, smoothing is only performed on the areas of the
document that are correctly recognized as text.
•
The text and background of a PDF containing outline data may become misaligned when
opened in Adobe Illustrator, depending on the version of Adobe Illustrator used to open
the PDF.
•
Long strip originals of up to 17" (432 mm) in length can be used with the Trace & Smooth
mode.
NOTE
•
This mode is available only if the optional Universal Send PDF Advanced Feature Set is
activated.
•
The Trace & Smooth mode cannot be set by itself. If you select [Trace & Smooth],
[Compact] is automatically set to 'On'.
