Data Formats
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| kPMDataFormatXMLCompressed | 2 |
kPMDataFormatXMLCompressed is only compatible and usable with Mac OS X version 10.5 and later. Data in this format can be only be reconsistuted into the equivalent printing manager object with the appropriate PMXXXCreateWithDataRepresentation function. The data representation produced when using kPMDataFormatXMLCompressed is approximately 20 times smaller than kPMDataFormatXMLDefault. This format is a good choice when execution on versions of Mac OS X prior to 10.5 is not necessary and the minimum data size is important. |
| kPMDataFormatXMLDefault | 0 |
Specifies a data format that is compatible with all Mac OS X versions. Data in this format can be used with the PMUnflattenXXX routines present in all versions of Mac OS X prior to 10.5. However, this data representation is much larger than the more modern data representations described below. |
| kPMDataFormatXMLMinimal | 1 |
XMLMinimal is only compatible and usable with Mac OS X version 10.5 and later. Data in this format can be only be reconsistuted into the equivalent printing manager object with the appropriate CreateWithDataRepresentation function. The data representation produced when using kPMDataFormatXMLMinimal is approximately 3-5 times smaller than kPMDataFormatXMLDefault. This format is a good choice when execution on versions of Mac OS X prior to 10.5 is not necessary and an uncompressed XML representation of the data is needed. |
Orientation Constants
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| kPMLandscape | 2 |
Landscape |
| kPMPortrait | 1 |
Portrait |
| kPMReverseLandscape | 4 |
Reverse Landscape |
| kPMReversePortrait | 3 |
