• hiResOutputChannelContainersToSeparateFiles (boolean) - (optional) If true, renders channels of spot colors and textures into separate files. Possible values are true and false. The default value is false.

• hiResOutputChannelContainersRenderEmptyPage (boolean) - (optional) If true, adds empty pages for product pages without channels of spot colors and textures. Possible values are true and false. The default value is false.

• hiResOutputColorSpace (string) - (optional) The color space of the output file, one of Rgb, Grayscale, or Cmyk. The default value is Cmyk.

• hiResOutputCmykColorProfileName (string) - The name of the profile to be used if Cmyk color space is selected.

• hiResOutputGrayscaleColorProfileName (string) - The name of the profile to be used if Grayscale color space is selected.

• hiResOutputRgbColorProfileName (string) - The name of the profile to be used if Rgb color space is selected.

• hiResOutputBackgroundColor (string) - The background color in a CSS-compatible format.

• hiResOutputDpi (number) - (optional) The DPI value of the resulting file. The default value is 300.

• hiResOutputFileFormat (string) - (optional) The output file format, one of jpeg, png, tiff, or pdf. The default value is pdf.

• hiResOutputCompression (string) - The compression method for data inside the result file; it must match the output file format. For more details, refer to the Compression types.

• hiResOutputJpegCompressionQuality (number) - (optional) The compression level for the content inside the resulting file. This value only applies to the pdf, jpeg, and tiff formats. 100 corresponds to maximum quality and file size, 0 - minimum quality and file size. The default value is 90.

• hiResOutputFlipMode (string) - (optional) Flips the resulting image before saving. Possible values are None, Vertical, Horizontal, and Both. The default value is None.

• hiResOutputInStringPlaceholderHintsEnabled (boolean) - (optional) If true, displays hints for unfilled in-string placeholders. Possible values are true and false. The default value is false.

• hiResOutputPdfFormat (string) - (optional) The PDF format, either Default or X4. If X4, it enables DeviceCMYK and does not embed color profiles in the resulting PDF. By default, color profiles are embedded.

• hiResOutputPdfAuthor (string) - Metadata property "Author" for the PDF format.

• hiResOutputPdfCreator (string) - Metadata property "Creator" for the PDF format.

• hiResOutputPdfKeywords (string) - Metadata property "Keywords" for the PDF format.

• hiResOutputPdfSubject (string) - Metadata property "Subject" for the PDF format.

• hiResOutputPdfTitle (string) - Metadata property "Title" for the PDF format.

• hiResOutputPdfTextMode (string) - If Text, saves text elements as text. By default, this property is Outlines, and text is rendered as a set of vector paths.

• hiResOutputArchiveType (string) - (optional) If specified, the rendering result will be packed into an archive. Possible values are Zip | SevenZip. By default, it is not specified.

• hiResOutputArchiveCompressionType (string) - (optional) Supported types are none | copy | default | deflate | deflate64 | lzma | lzma2. The default value is default.

• hiResOutputExplicitContainerVisibility (object) - (optional) Defines what containers must be hidden or shown during rendering. For example, you can hide the Background container and render the Main container as follows:

  "hiResOutputExplicitContainerVisibility": {
      "Background": false,
      "Main": true
  }
  

For other rendering properties, refer to the Hi-res print files topic.

Note

If a single artifact (result) is expected as the output, all generated print files will be packed into one archive.

If a collection of artifacts (result*) is expected as the output, each generated print file will be packed into a separate archive.
