Preview tab

Use the Preview tab to set values for these properties:

Pages to Process

This value determines the maximum number of pages to process when you preview markup, export and view document properties, and use the Page Group Navigator. The more pages you specify, the longer RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat takes to preview markup and view document properties.

Production Intent

This value defines how RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat interprets PDF files. For example, when the Production Intent is Simplex, Second Front Only page placement puts markup on the second page of each page group. When the Production Intent is Duplex, Second Front Only page placement puts markup on the third page of each page group.

Show electronic forms

This value determines whether Preview shows how sample files look when the data is combined with electronic forms defined for the media that the files use.

Address tab

Use the Address tab to set a value for the Default address block format property. The default value is displayed when you use the Define Address Block function.

Logging tab

Logging Level

The types of messages saved in the log file. Trace saves all six types. Info saves four types: informational, warning, error, and fatal messages. Fatal saves only fatal messages. Off turns off logging.

Log Output Folder

The directory path for the plug-in and Java log files that the system creates. The directory path must exist when the system creates the first log file. If a file does not exist, the system creates it.

Plug-in Log File

The file name for the plug-in log file that the system creates.

Java Log File

The file name for the Java log file that the system creates.

Maximum File Size

The upper size limit for the log. The minimum file size is 1 MB; the maximum file size is 10 GB. When the file reaches the upper limit, the system closes the file, renames it to include a number at the end of the name. The system keeps the file until the value in the Number of Log Files to Retain property is reached. For example, the log file name is Log.txt. Each renamed file is Log.n.txt, where n is a number from 1 to the value in the Number of Log Files to Retain property. The most recent log remains Log.txt.

Number of Log Files to Retain

The number of log files that the system keeps in addition to the current log file. When this limit is reached, the system deletes the oldest log file after it creates a log file. For example, you select 3. The system keeps the current log file plus the three most recent log files.

Advanced tab

Port

The internal port number for communication between RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat and its background Java process. Restart Adobe Acrobat for this value to take effect. Edit this field if you have software that uses the default port.

Heap Size (MB)

The number of megabytes for the desired minimum amount of memory in the Java Virtual Machine allocation pool. Restart Adobe Acrobat for this value to take effect. Experiment with this value to tune it to the size and complexity of the PDF files you mark up. When you experience delays while previewing, selecting text, using the Page Group Navigator, or extracting and exporting document properties, you might improve performance by increasing the number of megabytes. If you set the heap size to a value that is greater than the available memory, you might not be able to use RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat. In that case, decrease the heap size value, restart Adobe Acrobat, and reactivate the plug-in.

Other JVM Options

In addition to setting the minimum heap size, you can fine-tune other JVM memory settings. Edit this field only on the advice of your support representative.
