These settings tells Click to Convert to either show or hide the user interface during generation of PDF and HTML renditions. A value of 0 will cause the interface to be hidden, a value of 1 will allow the interface to be visible to the user. The “ShowUI” setting refers to the main “Publish Settings” user interface, the “ShowProgressUI” setting controls the “Rendition Status” progress window.
 

Controlling if PDF and/or HTML files are generated

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Inzone Software\Click to Convert\CreatePDF

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Inzone Software\Click to Convert\CreateHTML

DWORD 0 = No
DWORD 1 = Yes
Default = let the user choose through the interface

These settings let you choose if Click to Convert generates PDF, HTML or both renditions. Setting the values to 1 will cause a rendition of that type to be generated, setting them to 0 will cause the type not to be generated. The default is to let the user choose through the Click to Convert user interface.
 

Setting the PDF filename

String Value
Default = let the user choose through the interface

DWORD 0 = No
DWORD 1 = Yes
Default = 0

This setting allows you to tell Click to Convert to append (join) PDF files together to form massive compound PDF documents. To do this you need to make sure you set the PDFFilename value (described above) to an existing PDF file. If the PDFFilename value does not contain an existing PDF file then a new PDF file is created. If Click to Convert does find a PDF that exists with that name, it appends the new PDF file to the end of the existing PDF file.
 

Setting the HTML output path

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Inzone Software\Click to Convert\HTMLOutputPath
