Hierarchy of transform options

InfoPrint assigns a hierarchy to its use of flags and configuration-file information when it runs the PDF transform program. The following lists the order in which InfoPrint uses flags and information specified in configuration files:

  1. Any values you specify on the command line, including values in the configuration file you specify with the -C flag.

    InfoPrint commands process flags from left to right. If you enter the same flag more than once, InfoPrint uses the last occurrence of the flag to determine the value to use. For example, if you specify this command:

    pdfprs -C8263.cfg -r240 -r300 myfile.ps
    The pdfprs command transforms the file using 300-pel resolution. InfoPrint ignores the resolution value specified in the configuration file 8263.cfg and the first -r240 flag and value.

  2. Values specified in this default transform daemon configuration file: Default parallel PDF transform configuration files.
  3. Values specified in a customized configuration file identified with the -C flag of the ps2afpd command when the transform daemon started.
  4. Values specified in this default transform daemon configuration file: /usr/lpp/psf/ps2afp/ps2afpd.cfg.
  5. Default values that are built into InfoPrint. These are the same as the transform defaults, except that the default PDF output type is an IM1 uncompressed image.
