Consider following guidelines when using the custom Ghostscript parameter feature:
Never use the -sOutputFile parameter. This parameter is always added by the Financial Reporting conversion routines. The output file cannot be hard-coded because it is dynamically generated by the Financial Reporting Print Server.
Performance versus. Quality: It is important to weigh the benefits of higher quality versus the performance for producing the converted output. There are several Ghostscript parameters that can affect the output quality, however the -r### (resolution) parameter is most commonly used. In general, the higher the resolution, the more time it takes for Ghostscript to produce the output and the bigger the output file becomes. For example, using -r200 on a 180KB PostScript file produces a 204KB jpeg file; using -r400 (same PostScript file) produces a 563KB jpeg file.
If the -c parameter is used, it must be closed with the -f parameter. Failing to do this may result in the postscript file name to be interpreted incorrectly.
The -c parameter and the subsequent PS commands should be entered at the end of all other parameters (except for -f).
It is not necessary to add both JPEG and Portable Document Format (PDF) custom parameters. Users can indicate one or other, both, or none.
