•
SVG
Does not use font hinting. This font type is supported by all SVG viewers.
•
Convert To Outlines
Converts type to vector paths. Use this option to preserve the visual appearance of type in all
SVG Viewers.
Image Location
Specifies whether to embed or link to images. Embedding images increases file size but ensures that
rasterized images will always be available.
CSS Properties
Determines how CSS style attributes are saved in the SVG code. The default method, Presentation
Attributes, applies properties at the highest point in the hierarchy, which allows the most flexibility for specific edits
and transformations. The Style Attributes method creates the most readable files but may increase the file size.
Choose this method if the SVG code will be used in transformations—for example, transformations using Extensible
Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT). The Entity References method results in faster rendering times and
reduced SVG file size. The Style Element method is used when sharing files with HTML documents. By selecting
Style Element, you can then modify the SVG file to move a style element into an external stylesheet file that is also
referenced by the HTML file—however, the Style Element option also results in slower rendering speeds.
Encoding
Determines how characters are encoded in the SVG file. UTF (Unicode Transformation Format)
encoding is supported by all XML processors. (UTF-8 is an 8-bit format; UTF-16 is a 16-bit format.) ISO 8859-1 and
UTF-16 encoding do not preserve file metadata.

Optimization options for WBMP format
The Dithering Method and Dither options determine the method and amount of application dithering. For optimal
compression, use the lowest percentage of dither that provides the detail you require.
You can select one of the following dithering methods:
No Dither
Applies no dithering at all and gives straight black and white pixels.
Diffusion
Applies a random pattern that is usually less noticeable than Pattern dither. The dither effects are diffused
across adjacent pixels. If you select this algorithm, specify a Dither percentage to control the amount of dithering
that is applied to the image.
Note:
Diffusion dither may cause detectable seams to appear across slice boundaries. Linking slices diffuses the dither
pattern across all linked slices, and eliminates the seams.
Pattern
Applies a halftone-like square pattern to determine the value of pixels.
Noise
Applies a random pattern similar to the Diffusion dithering, but without diffusing the pattern across adjacent
pixels. No seams appear with the Noise algorithm.
