Prep4PDF INI Entries

You can set some options in the [Prep4PDF] section of PPTools.INI in your PPTools folder.

There won't be a [Prep4PDF] section there until you've run Prep4PDF at least once. It automatically creates the section and sets a few default entries for you.

See How do I edit the Prep4PDF configuration file (PPTools.INI)? to learn how to find and edit the PPTools.INI file.
