registrationMark: are important for precision and placement when working with multiple applications during production.
colorBar: are essentially test targets, to check for ink density, overprinting and more.
tintBar: same as colorBar but in grayscale.
emptyMargin: adds an empty white margin to include printing marks, it has a size calculated on printing marks space needs starting with ⅛ inch or 3mm.
colorProfile: converts content to the desired profile, currently only fully supports ‘rgb’ and ‘cmyk’ partially.

maxDpi: from 1 to 600 this value is used to optimise the images used to match the input and avoid having higher DPI values for photos when they are not needed. This only works when the original DPI value of the image is bigger or equal to the maxDPI input.

imageExportCompression: from 1 to 100, when used original images will be converted to jpeg and a compression will be applied based on the input.

compression: he compression quality to use when creating the output image with a lossy file format for this edit session in particular. When specified, this will override the value specified when the SDK is initialised. The supported values are in the range 0-100.video/mp4 settings supports:
fps: frames per second for the exported video (30fps by default).
resolution: resolution in pixels for the exported video (1080p by default).async enables the return of the exported data on an async mode, meaning that when more than one export format is configured instead of calling onExport method once all the data is available it will call onExport every time a export format is available including the data for each export.

fitExportPDFSizeResult
Boolean
When set to "true" this setting will round the trimbox output size to try to match the same size of the physical dimensions of the template.
