The Windows 3.1 PostScript driver can generate output that conforms to the document-structuring conventions defined by Adobe. These conventions make it easier for applications to parse and rearrange PostScript output to perform special operations, or print more efficiently. Users should request conforming output if they plan on using the PostScript output as input to another program that processes PostScript files. (This option does not need to be checked for EPS files.)
The driver creates output that conforms to the Document-Structuring Convention (DSC) only if the user chooses the Generate Conforming Output option in the Advanced Setup dialog box. If this option is not explicitly set, the driver may optimize output for printing efficiency and therefore cannot guarantee conformance with DSC. In particular, the optimized output may not be “page independent” as specified by the conventions. That is, pages may need to be printed in a specific order, relying on fonts or other resources loaded from previous pages. For more information about DSC-conforming output, see version 3.0 of Adobe's Document Structuring Conventions.
