tools/ option/ generate text/general/ advanced settings for pdf... default for "Generate images and text for PDF files without a text stream" is unchecked / disabled. Is there a way to make the default as checked/ enabled so user does not have to manually enable or import someone else's attributes ( or even have it in Everyone Group or the group user belongs to's attribute)?

Question
change default on option "Generate images and text for PDF files without a text stream""
Answer
Use the attribute [Settings]GeneratePagesForPdfWithoutTextStream with the value, Yes. Set that on the Everyone group. As long as the user doesn't have that attribute set directly for them, then they'll inherit from Everyone.

Hi Alex, I am aware of this but user wants to know if there is a way to change the default so he does not have to do this.

If they set the attribute on the Everyone group, then it will be the default option for every user unless that user had specifically went in to where those options are, left the option disabled, and saved settings there themselves, therefore creating their own user specific attribute for that setting. The user attribute would override the Everyone attribute. As long as there is no user attribute already set for that option, then they're fine. If there does exist a user attribute for it, then that will need to be deleted so the Everyone attribute is used.
If you're asking about a method of making sure that the user doesn't have a specific attribute for that option or that it's set to Yes instead of No, and they don't want to manually do this by going into user properties individually, then you can perhaps use the SDK to programmatically do this.
thanks Alex. I did not think so but I had to ask.
