In this case the PdfLib apply two times the subset of the same text an this cause the wrong result (probably a bug of Adobe library).
Fixed, now the subset is applied only one time.

[109] Fred4: error printing EPS when compression is "Do not downsample"

GN4-4416

when the user set the "Do Not Downsample" the normalizer actually should not change the size of the image to put into PDF: this doesn't happen. Fixed.
There are another problem that cause the message error: in case as heavy image resize (the requested size is 1% of the original size, for example) the normalizer return error in any case: add a limit to solve problem (the only change visible to user is a minimal increment of file size.)

There are some invalid characters that cause a server exception, is not possible send to the client the valid xml with error message.
Problem solved into PdfLib: there is a xml validation on error message sento to client.

[37] Fred4: direct printing sometimes does not use the custom saved printer settings

GN4-4255

the print settings (different from printer to printer) are send to PdfLib as binary data, the decoding of these binary data has a bug: there is a check to avoid print error and in case of wrong print setting use the default settings.
Fixed.

[58] Fred4: manage bleed margins

GN4-4231

The bleed box can be defined in Edt using Master Data panel. There are four distances from the paper bounding box available: left, right, top and bottom. If defined (at least one margin set different from 0) it will be displayed on the PageDesigner pasteboard (remember to configure it big enough). The box color can be set in Fred preferences, default: light magenta.
 
Objects in page will snap on this box.
 
Print Dialog: added a new Tab called "Marks & Bleed", this tab contains the old marks settings and the bleed parameters.
Marks settings are just moved from Output tab to Marks and Bleeds tab.
 
New Bleed controls:
* Checkbox for use or not page (from master) bleed settings: id unchecked the user can override custom bleed margins. (by default is checked)
* Checkbox to set the artbox into the output (by default is unchecked), artbox into pdf equals to page content.
 
These settings are editable from vb with these PrintOptions class parameters:
* OverrideBleedBox: override the page bleed box (Boolean, default false)
* SetArtBox: set art box into output PDF (Boolean, default false)
* BleedTop: if OverrideBleedBox is true, set the top margin bleed box (measure in mpt, the margin reference is the page content) (int value, default 0)
* BleedLeft: if OverrideBleedBox is true, set the left margin bleed box (measure in mpt, the margin reference is the page content) (int value, default 0)
* BleedBottom: if OverrideBleedBox is true, set the bottom margin bleed box (measure in mpt, the margin reference is the page content) (int value, default 0)
* BleedRight: if OverrideBleedBox is true, set the top right bleed box (measure in mpt, the margin reference is the page content) (int value, default 0)

[254] PrintPDF: add alpha channel support for print with CMYK/Grayscale rasterization

GN4-3952

add the alpha channel managament for all colorspaces rasterization: GrayScale/RGB/CMYK.
The processing is little bit slower but now the visual result is as expected in all cases.

[270] PrintPDF: possibility to specify the colorspace on vectorial rasterize

GN4-3949

Into the print options modify the combo box that manage the rasterization of vectorial objects:
The old single Item to rasterize is replaced by 3 values that specify the colorspace to use.
The default is rgb for retrocompatibility.
Warning: if PDF/EPS/PS objects contains alpha channel it will be ignored into CMYK/Grayscale rasterization. There is a job for add this support ( http://tracking.teradp.com/gn4/issues/GN4-3952 )
 
Into PrintConfig object there is a new item called "PDF_RasterType" this admit 3 values: "rgb", "cmyk", "gray" (in case of wrong value the print will use the default rgb value). to set it without using PrintOptionsDialog just add the item into PrintDictOpt dictionary into PrintConfig object.
 
To set it from VB script "VectorResample" propriety has changed: from range 0-2 to range 0-4
/// <summary>Option to manage the vector objects (PS, EPS and PDF)
/// these kind of object can't be managed like normal images. there are 3 options:
/// - Default = 0, 
/// Default value, Resample all images except PDFs.
/// - RasterizeAllRGB = 1, 
/// Rasterize all: Put in page the image rasterization of PS/EPS/PDF (with RGB colorspace): 
/// all information about text and other vectiorial object are lost (size optimization choice).
/// (just for retrocompatibility are still active the "PDF_EPS_AsImg" that active this option)
/// - RasterizeAllCMYK = 2, 
/// Rasterize all: Put in page the image rasterization of PS/EPS/PDF (with CMYK colorspace):
