2 = The "Use Threshold-Based Switching" option is enabled. The PDF Add-on is enabled. Parsing and rendering depends on the bilevel raster area threshold set by the PDF Library Threshold keyname:

• If, on the first page of the document, the area of the largest bilevel raster is greater than the percentage area set in the PDF Library Threshold, the document is parsed and rendered using Native PDF support.

• If, on the first page of the document, the area of the largest bilevel raster is less than the percentage area set in the PDF Library Threshold, the document is parsed and rendered using the PDF Add-on library.

Note: The bilevel raster area is calculated by finding the largest sized raster and calculating the ratio of raster size to page size.
