Property Listing

Property	Type	Access	Description
clipComplexRegions	Boolean	read/write	If true, ensures that the boundaries between vector and rasterized artwork fall along object paths.
convertAllStrokesToOutlines	Boolean	read/write	If true, converts all strokes to outlines and ensures that stroke widths remain constant during flattening. Note: Can cause thin strokes to appear slightly thicker than their original width. Affects all strokes, not only strokes involved in the transparency.
convertAllTextToOutlines	Boolean	read/write	If true, converts all text to outlines and discards all type glyph information on spreads with transparency; ensures that the width of text strokes remains constant during flattening. Note: Can cause small fonts to appear slightly thicker when viewed in Acrobat or printed on low-quality desktop printers, but does not affect type quality when printed on high-resolution printers or imagesetters.
eventListeners	EventListeners EventListener	readonly	A collection of event listeners.
events	Events Event	readonly	A collection of events.
gradientAndMeshResolution	Number (range 0 - 1200)	read/write	The resolution for gradients rasterized as a result of flattening and for drop shadow and feathers when printed or exported. (Range: 0 to 1200) Note: Resolutions higher than 300 ppi increase file size and printing time but generally do not improve the image quality.
isValid	Boolean	readonly	Returns true if the object specifier resolves to valid objects.
lineArtAndTextResolution	Number (range 1 - 9600)	read/write	The resolution for vector objects rasterized as a result of flattening. (Range: 1 to 9600) For information, see raster vector balance.
parent	Spread	readonly	The parent of the FlattenerPreference (a Spread).
properties	Object	read/write	A property that allows setting of several properties at the same time.
rasterVectorBalance	FlattenerLevel FlattenerLevel.HIGH FlattenerLevel.LOW FlattenerLevel.MEDIUM FlattenerLevel.MEDIUM_HIGH FlattenerLevel.MEDIUM_LOW Real(0-100)	read/write	The amount of vector artwork to rasterize during flattening, specified as an enumerator or as a percentage in the range 0 to 100. Can return: FlattenerLevel enumerator or Real (0 - 100).
