This Fixup is activated by default, which is indicated by the symbol [1]. The Fixup trims overlapping vector paths and automatically closes the open paths created by trimming vectors. This deletes unneeded vectors outside the selected area - Page Boxes, clipping paths and Form XObjects.

Figure 2: The dialog of the Fixup Remove Overlapping Vectors and Images with the activated Fixup Remove Overlapping Vectors

The following options can be used to remove overlapping vector paths:

• PageBox [7] – select the Page Box from which overlapping vectors should be removed from the drop-down menu. The following options are available:
  • TrimBox – all vectors that extend beyond the TrimBox are cropped and all vectors outside the TrimBox are removed.
  • ArtBox – all vectors that extend beyond the ArtBox are cropped and all vectors outside the ArtBox are removed.
  • BleedBox – all vectors that extend beyond the BleedBox are cropped and all vectors outside the BleedBox are removed.
  • CropBox –  all vectors that extend beyond the CropBox are cropped and all vectors outside the CropBox are removed.
  • MediaBox – all vectors that extend beyond the MediaBox are cropped and all vectors outside the MediaBox are removed.
  • Variable Content [8] – select the desired placeholder - database field or user-defined field - from which the value for the selection of the Page Box should be retrieved. The following values must be found in the selected field for the Page Box to be selected:
    • TrimBox
    • ArtBox
    • BleedBox
    • CropBox
    • MediaBox
• Clipping Paths [6] – activate this option if vector paths that extend beyond a Clipping Path should be trimmed and thus all vectors outside the Clipping Path should be removed.
• Form XObject (BBox) [7] – activate this option if vector paths that extend beyond a Form XObject should be cropped and thus all vectors outside the Form XObject should be removed.

Click on the checkbox icon [2] (Figure 1) to activate the Fixup Remove overlapping images. This Fixup can be used to Bleed non-visible image content for the selected image type - All Images, Colored Images, Grayscale Images or Bitmap Images. This can reduce the memory requirements of the file.

Figure 4: The dialog of the Fixup Remove Overlapping Vectors and Images with activated Fixup Remove overlapping images

The following options can be used to remove overlapping or invisible image information:

• Image type [9] – select the image type from the drop-down menu that should be cropped. The following options are available:
  • All Images – all image types - color, grayscale and line images - will be cropped while maintaining the safety zone.
  • Colored Images – only color images are cropped while maintaining the safety zone.
  • Grayscale Images – only grayscale images will be cropped within the safety zone.
  • Bitmap Images – only line images are cropped while maintaining the safety zone.
  • Variable Content [12] – select the desired placeholder - database field or user-defined field - from which the value for the image type should be retrieved. The following values must be found in the selected field for the image type to be selected:
    • All
    • Color
    • Grayscale
    • Monochrome
• Safety Zone [10] – enter the value of the safety zone for Bleed of the images here. If, for example, a value of 1 mm is entered, the images are cropped 1 mm before the respective Page Box. For the Variable Content [13], select the desired placeholder - database field or user-defined field - from which the value for the safety zone should be retrieved.
• Outside Page Box [11] – select the Page Box from which overlapping images are to be removed from the selection menu. The following options are available:
  • TrimBox – the selected images are cropped outside the TrimBox and thus removed.
  • BleedBox – the selected images are cropped outside the BleedBox and thus removed.
  • CropBox – the selected images are cropped outside the CropBox and removed.
  • MediaBox – the selected images are cropped outside the MediaBox and thus removed.
  • Variable Content [14] – select the desired placeholder - database field or user-defined field - from which the value for the selection of the TrimBox should be retrieved. The following values must be found in the selected field for the Page Box to be selected:
    • TrimBox
    • BleedBox
    • CropBox
    • MediaBox

Durch Klick auf das Symbol Hinzufügen [3] (Figure 1) wird die Korrektur Komprimierung Farb- und Graustufenbilder aktiviert. Mit dieser Korrektur können Farb- sowie Graustufenbilder mit zwei verschiedene Komprimierungsarten komprimiert werden.

Click on the checkbox icon [3] (Figure 1) to activate the Compression of color and grayscale images Fixup. With this Fixup, color and grayscale images can be compressed with two different types of compression.

Figure 5: Der Dialog der Korrektur Überlappende Vektoren und Bilder entfernen mit aktivierter Korrektur Komprimierung Farb- und Graustufenbilder

The following options can be used to compress color and grayscale images:

• Compression [15] – select the preferred compression method from the drop-down menu. The following options are available:
  • JPEG – the images are compressed with or without loss using the JPEG algorithm, depending on your selection.
  • ZIP – the images are compressed lossless using the ZIP algorithm.
  • Variable Content [17] – select the desired placeholder - database field or user-defined field - from which the value for the compression method should be retrieved. The following values must be found in the selected field for the selection to be made:
    • JPEG
    • ZIP
• Quality (JPEG) [16] – select the quality of the compression in the drop-down menu if you have selected JPEG in the Compression option. The following options are available:
  • Maximum – a lot of image information is lost, but the file size can be significantly reduced as a result.
  • Medium – little visible image information is lost, but the file size is reduced as a result.
  • Low – very little image information (barely visible) is lost, but the file size is only slightly reduced as a result.
  • Lossless – no image information is lost, the file size is reduced minimally.
  • Variable Content [18] – select the desired placeholder - database field or user-defined field - from which the value for the quality should be retrieved. The following values must be present in the selected field so that it is selectable:
    • Max
    • Med
    • Low
    • Lossless

Click on the checkbox icon [4] (Figure 1) to activate the Fixup Compression Bitmap Images. With this Fixup, bitmap images can be compressed with two different types of compression.

Figure 7: The dialog of the Fixup Remove Overlapping Vectors and Images with activated Fixup Compression Bitmap Images

The following option can be used to compress line images:

• Compression [19] – select the preferred compression method from the drop-down menu. The following options are available:
  • CCITT Group 4 – the images are compressed lossless using the CCITT Group 4 algorithm.
  • ZIP - the images are compressed lossless using the ZIP algorithm.
  • Variable Content [20] – select the desired placeholder - database field or user-defined field - from which the value for the compression method should be retrieved. The following values must be found in the selected field so that the selection is applied:
    • CCITTG4
    • ZIP
