	passed using both the GET and POST methods. Script parameters (in alphabetical order) are:</p>

	<th>Parameter</th>

	<td>
	Specify a list of URL for "batch-processing" mode here.
	Note that ##PAGES## directive will not work in this case.
	</td>
	</tr>

	<tr class="odd">
	<td>compress</td>
	<td>Set this option to generate compressed Postscript files. You'll probably
	only need this option only if you're working with Postscript (NOT PDF) files
	via Adobe Acrobat Distiller, as it does not support compressed Postscript.
	In any other case, use compressed Postscript, as it will save on bandwidth.
	<p>PDF files may be compressed, but you will need to unpack them manually before viewing.</td>
	</tr>
	</tr>

	<tr class="even">
	<td id="cssmedia">cssmedia</td>
	<td>HTML page can contain stylesheets for different target media types; for
	example, the printable version of a page may have navigation panes and banners
	hidden, while the version for handhelds may be specially formatted to work
	on small displays and so on. By setting the value of this parameter, you
	determine which set of CSS rules will be used during PS/PDF rendering.</td>
	</tr>

	<tr class="odd">
	<td id="debugbox">debugbox</td>
	<td>
	<p>Set this option if you want to see boundaries of all boxes generated by the script.
	It is unlikely you'll need this option, as it is mostly for debugging purposes.</p>
	<p>Please note if you're using this option that the script renders the <i>content</i>
	boundary which is different from the "normal" box border!</td>

	<tr class="even">
	<td id="encoding">encoding</td>
	<td>Encoding can usually be automatically detected using HTTP response header

	<pre>
	<div style="background: red;">SOME TEXT</div>

	Note this string must be (almost) valid XHTML (almost means that HTML/HEAD/BODY tags may be omitted). In particular,

	this option to disable HTML-to-XHTML conversion and speed up script execution
	a little. In any other case, do not set this option, as the script will
	not work with non-well-formed XML. Use this option at your own risk; if you encounts any
	errors first enable the HTML-to-XHTML conversion.</td>

	<tr class="odd">
	<td id="pixels">pixels</td>
	<td>
	<p>'Virtual screen' horizontal resolution used during the page rendering
	process. As you know, a lot of HTML pages contain dimensions set in pixels
	-- images, in most cases, but sometimes fonts. Postscript/PDF files do
	not have "pixels", all dimensions are measured in "points"
	so we need to provide information about the pixel/point ratio. In our
	case, this ratio can be calculated as follows: </p>
	<pre>R = (page full width in points - page horizontal margins in points) / virtual resolution</pre>

	<p>Thus, you can specify resolution in 800 pixels and make pages designed
	for 800x600 resolution to fit your printed page exactly.</p>
	<p><tt>index.php</tt> provides three default values for this parameter:
	640, 800 and 1024; if you need more exotic value, say 945, you may specify
	this in the script query string manually and still get correct results.</p>
	<p>Please note that pages may be cut off on the right side if they're designed for the higher resolution
	than you've specified (for example, if they have hardcoded table widths or wide images). It is a feature.
	In such cases please consider increasing 'pixels' value.</p>

	<td id="scalepoints">scalepoints</td>
	<td>
	<p>When a page contains both device-dependent (in pixels) and device-independent
	(in points) dimensions, we're in trouble. For example, imagine a page
	containing absolute-positioned text inside the image; in this case, as
	display and paper have different sizes, point/pixel ratio will be different
	in the browser window and file rendered by the script, possilibly breaking
	the page layout. To prevent this, the <tt>scalepoint</tt> option is used.
	</p>

	<p>If this parameter is set, the HTML page "points" are scaled
	to keep the mentioned ratio, so if you print the resulting file and measure
	fonts, they will be smaller than you expect, but the page layout will
	be exactly the same as you see in browser window (well, close to it).
	If you want fonts to have their real size, disable this option.</p>

	<p>Note that this additional scaling applies to points only; such units as in, cm, mm and pc
	are not affected by this option.</p></td>

	<td>URL</td>
	<td>
	<p>
	URL you're going to convert (page should be available via either <tt>http</tt>
	or <tt>https</tt>). Note that the <tt>http://</tt> prefix is prepended to
	this value automatically in case no http or https protocol part is found,
	thus you may set the value of this parameter, for example, to <tt>www.google.com</tt>,
	not <tt>http://www.google.com</tt>.
	</p>

	Note that if you're trying to use URL containing GET request (e.g. http://www.google.com/search?q=test),
