So if you want to generate high-definition files, just enter the file&#8217;s width in pixels. The height is determined automatically using your defined width. If the output width is empty, the output will automatically have the canvas dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25cf <strong>Output loop delay<\/strong> <strong>(milliseconds)<\/strong> : This is the time it will take the plugin to go through each part when generating the output files. If you get the message &#8220;The edition area is empty&#8221; during the output generation process, then it means that the value in this field is zero or not enough. You can increase this setting when the output contains HD files or when the output is HD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>:\u00a0By default, the generated output file will have the canvas dimensions. But this behavior can be overwritten by setting the &#8220;Output min width&#8221; in the output settings. That way, the output will have the width defined and the height will be determined proportionally to the canvas height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When previewing, adding to the cart or generating\/downloading output, the plugin needs time to determine the optimal parameters based on the elements used by the customer (text, images, shapes&#8230;). Unfortunately, that time can&#8217;t be defined automatically. So you have to make sure that the Output loop delay parameter is set accordingly and that its value equals at least the output width plus 300. During the generation, if you get the error message &#8220;The edition area is empty&#8221;, make sure you increase the defined value by 500 until the issue is fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One more thing: to be able to send the generated data to the server, you have to make sure your server does not have limitations related to the amount of data which can be sent through a form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25cf <strong>PDF<\/strong> : Allows you to Enable\/Disable the PDF output generation feature.

Allows you to set whether or not you need the output to be CMYK valid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25cf <strong>CMYK profile (when CMYK mode is active)<\/strong> : Allows you to set your own CMYK profile to be used during the output conversion.
