If Sharpdesk is not running, it automatically starts and the new pages are added to an
Untitled1.sdf document in the Composer work area. If Composer is running with a
document in the work area, the new page(s) is added to the existing document.
4. Continue loading pages into the Composer until you have all the pages you want. You can
now use Composer to selectively delete or re-order pages into the finished document.
Adding Pages into Composer
With the Composer running, you can add pages as follows:
• Click the Add Document icon on the toolbar, or choose the Add Document command
from the File menu. A standard Windows Open dialog displays.
Adding Pages from Sharpdesk or Windows Explorer
With the Composer running, you can add pages from Sharpdesk or Windows Explorer as
follows:
• Drag and drop a file from the Sharpdesk work area or Windows Explorer to the
Composer work area, or the Composer icon on the Output zone. The page is opened in
its original application and then printed to the Composer.
Note: When loading image files with many pages into Composer using Sharpdesk Imaging,
Imaging will break the input into multiple segments of 50 pages to avoid exhausting system
resources. Each segment will be shown in the Reference window of Composer.
Creating Composer Documents
Working with the Composer is easy and intuitive. Once your source documents have been loaded
into the work area, you can use the mouse or commands from the Menu bar and Toolbar to delete
or re-order pages to create your new document.
Arranging Pages
To arrange pages in the work area:
• Pages can be dragged and dropped within the work area to re-order them as desired. To
move a page in the work area, grab it and then release the mouse at the location where the
page is to be inserted.
• You can also move a page using the Cut and Paste commands. Click on the page you want
to move and click Cut on the toolbar. Click on the page you want to follow the one cut and
click Paste. These commands can also be displayed by clicking the right mouse button on a
page.
• To insert a blank page, choose the Insert Blank Page command from the Edit menu, or
click the right mouse button on the page you want the blank page to follow and select the
Insert Blank Page command.
• Each page inserted into the work area displays its original source file name in the reference
area. If you want to rename a page, click on it to select it, then click it again and type the
new name.
• To view the Composer full page, click the maximize icon in the upper right corner of the
work area.
