# PreserveOPIComments

| Method Name         | Argument Name | Argument Type |
| ------------------- | ------------- | ------------- |
| preserveOpiComments | status        | boolean       |

If <mark style="color:red;">true</mark>, Distiller places the page contents within a set of Open Prepress Interface(OPI) comments in a Form XObject dictionary and preserves the OPI comment information in an OPI dictionary attached to the Form. Page contents data within a set of OPI comments may include proxy images, high-resolution images, or nothing.

If <mark style="color:red;">PreserveOPIComments</mark> is <mark style="color:red;">false</mark>, Distiller ignores OPI comments and their page contents. Setting PreserveOPIComments to false results in slightly simpler and smaller PDF files. Doing so is acceptable when use of an OPI server is not anticipated.

{% hint style="info" %}
Distiller ignores PreserveOPIComments if ParseDSCComments is false.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://mostafaznv.gitbook.io/pdf-optimizer/advanced-usage/configuring-ghostscript/preserveopicomments.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
