I think it was the number of copies and the number of the first and last page
to be printed.
And I think a checkbox should be added whether the status window
should be displayed or not.

Don't know, should the window position be stored/restored too?

At http://bepdf.sf.net/downloads/GlobalSettings.src.zip is a class that I 
once had
prepared for BeTVOut for saving/restoring settings.

A progress bar should be added to the status window, that is incremented
after a page has been converted to PDF.
