xpdfrc(5) File Formats Manual xpdfrc(5) NAME xpdfrc - configuration file for Xpdf tools (version 4.00) DESCRIPTION All of the Xpdf tools read a single configuration file. If you have a .xpdfrc file in your home directory, it will be read. Otherwise, a system-wide configuration file will be read from /usr/local/etc/xpdfrc, if it exists. (This is its default location; depending on build options, it may be placed elsewhere.) On Win32 systems, the xpdfrc file should be placed in the same directory as the executables. The xpdfrc file consists of a series of configuration options, one per line. Blank lines and lines starting with a '#' (comments) are ignored. Arguments may be quoted, using "double-quote" characters, e.g., for file names that contain spaces. The following sections list all of the configuration options, sorted into functional groups. There is an examples section at the end. INCLUDE FILES include config-file Includes the specified config file. The effect of this is equivalent to inserting the contents of config-file directly into the parent config file in place of the include command. Config files can be nested arbitrarily deeply. GENERAL FONT CONFIGURATION fontFile PDF-font-name font-file Maps a PDF font, PDF-font-name, to a font for display or Post- Script output. The font file, font-file, can be any type allowed in a PDF file. This command can be used for 8-bit or 16-bit (CID) fonts. fontDir dir Specifies a search directory for font files. There can be mul- tiple fontDir commands; all of the specified directories will be searched in order. The font files can be Type 1 (.pfa or .pfb) or TrueType (.ttf or .ttc); other files in the directory will be ignored. The font file name (not including the extension) must exactly match the PDF font name. This search is performed if the font name doesn't match any of the fonts declared with the fontFile command. There are no default fontDir directories. fontFileCC registry-ordering font-file Maps the registry-ordering character collection to a font for display or PostScript output. This mapping is used if the font name doesn't match any of the fonts declared with the fontFile, fontDir, psResidentFont16, or psResidentFontCC commands. POSTSCRIPT FONT CONFIGURATION psFontPassthrough yes | no If set to "yes", pass 8-bit font names through to the PostScript output without substitution. Fonts which are not embedded in the PDF file are expected to be available on the printer. This defaults to "no". psResidentFont PDF-font-name PS-font-name When the 8-bit font PDF-font-name is used (without embedding) in a PDF file, it will be translated to the PostScript font PS-font-name, which is assumed to be resident in the printer. Typically, PDF-font-name and PS-font-name are the same. By default, only the Base-14 fonts are assumed to be resident. psResidentFont16 PDF-font-name wMode PS-font-name encoding When the 16-bit (CID) font PDF-font-name with writing mode wMode is used (without embedding) in a PDF file, it will be translated to the PostScript font PS-font-name, which is assumed to be res- ident in the printer. The writing mode must be either 'H' for horizontal or 'V' for vertical. The resident font is assumed to use the specified encoding (which must have been defined with the unicodeMap command). psResidentFontCC registry-ordering wMode PS-font-name encoding When a 16-bit (CID) font using the registry-ordering character collection and wMode writing mode is used (without embedding) in a PDF file, the PostScript font, PS-font-name, is substituted for it. The substituted font is assumed to be resident in the printer. The writing mode must be either 'H' for horizontal or 'V' for vertical. The resident font is assumed to use the spec- ified encoding (which must have been defined with the unicodeMap command). psEmbedType1Fonts yes | no If set to "no", prevents embedding of Type 1 fonts in generated PostScript. This defaults to "yes". psEmbedTrueTypeFonts yes | no If set to "no", prevents embedding of TrueType fonts in gener- ated PostScript. This defaults to "yes". psEmbedCIDTrueTypeFonts yes | no If set to "no", prevents embedding of CID TrueType fonts in gen- erated PostScript. For Level 3 PostScript, this generates a CID font, for lower levels it generates a non-CID composite font. This defaults to "yes". psEmbedCIDPostScriptFonts yes | no If set to "no", prevents embedding of CID PostScript fonts in generated PostScript. For Level 3 PostScript, this generates a CID font, for lower levels it generates a non-CID composite font. This defaults to "yes". POSTSCRIPT CONTROL psPaperSize width(pts) height(pts) Sets the paper size for PostScript output. The width and height parameters give the paper size in PostScript points (1 point = 1/72 inch). psPaperSize letter | legal | A4 | A3 | match Sets the paper size for PostScript output to a standard size. The default paper size is set when xpdf and pdftops are built, typically to "letter" or "A4". This can also be set to "match", which will set the paper size to match the size specified in the PDF file. psImageableArea llx lly urx ury Sets the imageable area for PostScript output. The four inte- gers are the coordinates of the lower-left and upper-right cor- ners of the imageable region, specified in points (with the ori- gin being the lower-left corner of the paper). This defaults to the full paper size; the psPaperSize option will reset the imageable area coordinates. psCrop yes | no If set to "yes", PostScript output is cropped to the CropBox specified in the PDF file; otherwise no cropping is done. This defaults to "yes". psUseCropBoxAsPage yes | no If set to "yes", PostScript output treats the CropBox as the page size. By default, this is "no", and the MediaBox is used as the page size. psExpandSmaller yes | no If set to "yes", PDF pages smaller than the PostScript imageable area are expanded to fill the imageable area. Otherwise, no scaling is done on smaller pages. This defaults to "no". psShrinkLarger yes | no If set to yes, PDF pages larger than the PostScript imageable area are shrunk to fit the imageable area. Otherwise, no scal- ing is done on larger pages. This defaults to "yes". psCenter yes | no
