btnMarkToFlatten mark the selected objects as being destined to flatten with the background

macro: Layouter.markToFlatten

This macro marks selected objects for flattening with the background. Object marked by this macro will be flatten with the single bitmap background while optimizing the project before outputting PDF. Use it especially for complex group of objects or object including effects like shadow, transparency, lenses, textures etc... This technique provides better quality prints and frees from worry about possible errors while producing document destined for professional print. It also may help to speed up the process of printing documents if your original document contains a lot of shadows and transparencies overlapping.  This is done by generating single flattened bitmap from all shapes with included effects and marked to flatten objects. Use of this technique is not necessary to output a PDF file for professional print, but prevents from generate a bitmap for every complex objects in the structure of PDF file. A lots of bitmaps overlapping on each other may result in worse printing effects on boundaries of images. You may also use this macro to protect your vector artworks from being copied from your final document in easy way, because they will be rasterized and flattened with the background after optimization.

btnUnmarkToFlatten mark the selected objects as not being destined to flatten with the background

macro: Layouter.unmarkToFlatten

This macro marks selected objects that they are not destined for flattening with the background. Exceptions marked by this macro will be omitted while generating a single bitmap background for each page. Even if  by use of default settings, these objects should be flatten. Use this macro for those complex objects or objects containing effects which you wish to stay separate from this background.
