ghostscript optimization improvements, PDF preprinting

XMLWordPrintable

      Several Improvements to the PDF-processing should be tested & potentially implemented:

       

      a) Check if the currently used ghostscript optimitzation for PDFs can be improved by adding   

      -dSubsetFonts=false

       to the optimitzation. By default font-subsetting (subsetting = removing all characters, that are not used in the PDF) is enabled by using the

      -dPDFSETTINGS=/screen

      Option what currently is the case and potentially cause the neccessity to provide in-context fonts for the visual.

       

      b) Implement pre-printing to solve problems with non-processable PDFs (font-forge exceptions) by utilizing LibreOffice Draw via commands to "pre-print" the PDFs at least to replace the currently used "remove all fonts" Fallback
