You can combine all or some of the raster and edit layers on a page into a new raster image. Two transactions allow you to do this.
To combine and rasterize layers:
· For the greatest number of options for the new image, use the Rasterize transaction.
· If you do not need to set output color depth, dither options, orientation, or size--or if you are integrating with an older release of Imagenation--you can use the Merge transaction.
The specified layers are combined into a single raster layer. The new raster is then placed in the same document window or into a new one, depending on the SetOverWriteRaster transaction. (To request this information, use GetOverWriteRaster.)
When the layers are overwritten, the existing layers can be preserved or be discarded. You set that option with the SetRemoveMergedLayers transaction. (To request this information, use GetRemoveMergedLayers.)
If fine lines are disappearing on rasterize, you can define a wider minimum line width with the SetMinOutputLineWidth transaction, and a wider minimum text width with the SetMinOutputTextWidth transaction.
