Smaller version -numbers will be compatible to older PDF viewers, larger version -numbers require a recent viewer but provide more PDF features.</li> -<li>Run in make mode<br> -If make mode is enabled the program checks the modification timestamps -of source and destination files. A destination file is up to date -if the file exists and was last modified after the last modification -of the source file. A conversion is only run for those sources for -which there is no up-to-date destination file. -</li> -<li>Show file names while processing<br> -The status message can either simply show "running" while a conversion -is running or show the file name for each file currently processed. -When processing directories containing many files showing each file name -will show you that the program is still alive.<br> -When showing file names a new png2pdf process is started for each -conversion. If you choose to see the simple "running" status message one -process is running on the directory doing all the conversions, this -is faster than starting a new process for each file to convert. -</li> -<li>Image interpolation<br> -This check box sets the image interpolation flag in output files. -Viewer programs are recommended to do image interpolation, this is -usefull if small images are scaled up. -</li> -<li>Alpha channel handling<br> -Here you can decide how to handle alpha channel data if such data -is present in a PNG file. -<ul> -<li>Input alpha channel expresses transparency<br> -Normally you should leave this checkbox turned off because the -alpha channel expresses opacity.</li> -<li>Mix against a background color<br> -You can choose to mix foreground color (the PNG pixel RGB value) against -the background color depending on the opacity/transparency value of the -pixel. The background color is contained in the background chunk in -the PNG file.<br> -Some PNG files containing an alpha channel do not contain a background chunk, -so it is up to the user to choose a background color. The -"Choose background color" entry allows to choose a default -background color to use if no background chunk is available in the PNG file. -Just click on the color-view rectangle to select a color.<br> -If you always want to use the specified background color (you want to -ignore background chunks from the PNG file) enable the checkbox -"Prefer specified default color...". -</li> -<li>Create image mask<br> -In addition to mixing -- or instead of mixing -- you can convert -the alpha channel into an image mask. The normal mask level is -to paint all opacity>0 pixels and to mask out all opacity=0 pixels.<br> -Enable "Use inverted mask levels" to paint -only opacity=full pixels and to mask out all opacity<full pixels. -</li> -<li>Write alpha channel to output<br> -You can also write alpha channel data to PDF output (for PDF version >= 1.4). -</li> -</ul> -Note: Some of these options are not available for all PDF versions.<br> -Some of the options are exclusive, i.e. you can not use mixing and -alpha channel writing together (the opacity factors from the alpha -channel would be applied twice: once in mixing and once by the PDF -viewer when showing the file). -</li> -</ul> -</p> -<hr> -<a name="h3conversion"><h3>Running a conversion</h3></a> -<p>Use the "Run png2pdf" button from the button bar or the -"Png2pdf / Run" menu entry to start a conversion. -<br> <br> -<table width="100%"> -<tr> -<td align="CENTER"><img src="./ppg09.png" width="341" height="171"></td> -<td align="CENTER"><img src="./ppg10.png" width="341" height="171"></td> -</tr> -</table><br> <br> -While the conversion is running the status text color changes to red -and the text changes to "Running".
