   The Last Used option refers to the last set scaling during the current session.

9. The Font Hinting option is used to select how fonts are displayed in the PDF Editor.
   • Choose As Windows if you like the way fonts are usually displayed on Windows, i.e., using Windows font hinting.
   • Choose As OS X if you like the way fonts are usually displayed on a Mac, i.e., without any font hinting at all.
   • Choose Native if you want your text to be displayed with hinting embedded into font files.
   • Default cache mode - used to select the cache mode for the font characters. It’s not recommended to switch it without any reason. It can be helpful in some cases only, for example, when an issue in the Google Chrome browser with enabled hardware acceleration occurs.

     The Document Editor has two cache modes:

     1. In the first cache mode, each letter is cached as a separate picture.
     2. In the second cache mode, a picture of a certain size is selected where letters are placed dynamically, and a mechanism for allocating/removing memory in this picture is also implemented. If there is not enough memory, a second picture is created, etc.

     The Default cache mode setting applies the two above-mentioned cache modes separately for different browsers:

     • When the Default cache mode setting is enabled, Internet Explorer (v. 9, 10, 11) uses the second cache mode, other browsers use the first cache mode.
     • When the Default cache mode setting is disabled, Internet Explorer (v. 9, 10, 11) uses the first cache mode, other browsers use the second cache mode.

To save the changes you made, click the Apply button.
