| SWFFilename | Implied | The relative path (c:\..\name.swf) to the SWF file on the server. | |
| PDFExportSetting | Implied | Smallest File Size | The setting for the quality and size of the exported pdf file. If publishing has been started with a processing job, the value comes from this processing job. Otherwise the value comes from setting in the project item - "High res setting"/"Low res setting". |

| PrintBook | Implied | True False | Sets whether the published pdf file will be printed by the default printer. |
| PrintPreset | Implied | The printer settings to use when printing the book using PrintBook. | |
| PageOrder | Implied | Odd Even Previous | PageOrder sets the Page Order in Book Page Numbering Options. It is used only if UpdateBook is not "False". Odd: Continue on next odd page. Even: Continue on next even page. Previous: Continue from previous document. |
| BlankPage | Implied | True False | If true, blank InDesign page is added to document. |
| AutoUpdate | Implied | True False | If true, the book file is updated according to page order. |
| UseHighRes | Implied | True False | If true, HighResSrc full dos path (c:\..\name.tiff) is used for publishing. If false, LowResSrc full dos path (c:\..\name.gif) is used for publishing Value is set from PrintOptions.UseHighRes. If publishing is started from InDesign plugin, value is passed depending on Use High/Low Resolution Images. If publishing is started with processing job, value is passed depending on "Use High Resolution" field value. |
| ConvertVars | Implied | True False | If true, index variables are converted to text. |
| PageCurl | Implied | True False | If true, page curl is enabled. |
| SpineGradient | Implied | True False | If true, the page spine gradient is shown even when no page curl is in progress. |
| ShowCornerTease | Implied | True False | If true, a teaser animation is shown if a user hovers over a corner. |
| EdgePercentage | Implied | [0,100] 50 | Real value that indicates the percentage of width/height for grabber area size. |
| CurveQuality | Implied | [0,100] 80 | Sets the curve quality for the export. |
| MediaHandling | Implied | IncludeAll AppearanceOnly | Sets the preferred method for handling dynamic media page items. |
| FrameRate | Implied | [0,100] 24 | Frame rate for the generated SWF. |
| GenerateHTML | Implied | True False | If true, an HTML file is generated. |
| TranspBack | Implied | True False | If true, keeps the background transparent (in this case, page curl is not possible). |
| IncludePreloader | Implied | True False | If true, shows preloader. |
| JpegQuality | Implied | Minimum Low Medium High Maximum | Sets the JPEG quality. |
| Compression | Implied | Automatic Lossless JPEG | Sets the compression. |
| Resolution | Implied | 0 .. ¥ 72 | Sets the preferred raster resolution for the flash export for raster images (values in ppi). |
| Spreads | Implied | True False | true: exports as reader's spread False: exports as pages. |
| Threshold | Implied | [72,300] 72 | Sets the raster resolution threshold. Raster images whose rendered resolutions exceed this value will be resampled using the resampling algorithm specified by ResamplingType. The values are in ppi. |
| ResamplingType | Implied | None Average Subsample Bicubic | Sets the algorithm to be used for resampling raster images that exceed the specified resolution threshold. |
| Sizing | Implied | Scale Size FitTo | Sets the scale and fit settings for the export. Scale: set scaling percentage Size: sets to fit in a bounding box with dimensions specified in Width and Height attributes, FitTo: sets to fit in a bounding box specified in FitToValue attribute. |
| FitToValue | Implied | 1280 x 800 1024 x 748 984 x 588 800 x 600 760 x 420 640 x 480 600 x 300 | Indicates which predefined bounding box to fit to when Sizing is "FitTo". |
