Units
You can change the measurement units from the Units drop down list. The available values are
millimeters, inches and points. Changing the units will recalculate the Width and Height values.

window from this group.
Resolution
You can set the printing resolution between 72 and 2400 dpi by selecting the default values from
the drop down list or entering a different value. A smaller resolution results in smaller PDF file,
but lower image quality, while a higher resolution means better image quality, but bigger PDF file.
The default value is 300 dpi. The resolution can also be set from the printing application.
Scale
You can set the scale of the document from 1% to 400% by entering a value or pressing the Up
and Down arrows. The scale factor can also be set from the printing application.
Margins and Zoom
Pressing this button will open the Margins and Zoom window where you can set position, margins,
zoom, alignment and origin of the document in the PDF. For more information see the Margins
and Zoom section.
Orientation
Specifies how the page is positioned. Available options are Portrait and Landscape. The
orientation can also be set from the printing application.
Portrait
Portrait orients the print vertically (longest edge of the page is vertical).
Landscape
Landscape orients the print horizontally (longest edge of the page is horizontal).
Preview
Shows a graphic representation of the PDF page highlighting important settings like page size,
margins and zoom.
NOTE
Some applications allow you to set page size, orientation, scale and resolution from their own
printing dialogs. If you open the novaPDF Printing Preferences dialog from the printing
application, you will see these settings are automatically updated on the first page. You can
override them if you set the "Profile settings override paper settings from printing applications"
option from the New Profile or Edit Profile window. For more information see the New/Edit Profile
section.
Some of the changes you make on this page are saved in the active profile. For more details on
how to manage profiles consult the Profiles section. The active profile is shown at the top of the
window having in parenthesis what type of profile it is. For example if Profile1 (Private profile)
is shown at the top, it means that the name of the active profile is Profile1 and it is a private
profile)
