21.2.5 Convert a Document and Save It to a File
Compiling a document and saving it to a file can also be useful for debugging purposes or for acquainting
yourself with the contents of a converted document. Before you convert a document, you may want to
optimize it to create a smaller and more efficient converted document.
To convert a document with the PostScript code to install it on a printer:
1. Verify the Compilation options and Resource options settings in the Document properties dialog box are
the ones you want for this document.
2. From the PlanetPress Design Button, choose Send to | Printer.
3. Select the printer location you want the converted document to reference.
Printer storage: Select the printer location. When PlanetPress Design converts the document, it
includes the PostScript code to install the document in the selected location.
4. If you want to include the PostScript code for producing a confirmation page in the converted document,
in the Confirmation page box, select Embedded confirmation page (less accurate). If you want to
save this PostScript code to a separate file, select Confirmation page.
Embedded confirmation page is useful if the printer on which you eventually want to install the
document is not connected to the computer running PlanetPress Design.
5. Click Save Printer File.
6. Enter the name of the file in which you want to save the converted document and click Save.
If you selected Confirmation page in the Confirmation page box, PlanetPress Design prompts you again,
this time to specify the name of the file to which you want to save the PostScript code for producing the
confirmation page.
7. In the Send to Printers dialog box, in the Select printers list, clear any selected printers. If any
printers are selected when you exit the Send to Printers dialog box, PlanetPress Design installs the
document on each of those printers.
8. Click OK.
To convert a document without the PostScript code to install it on a printer:
1. Verify the Compilation options and Resource options settings in the Document properties dialog box are
the ones you want for this document.
2. From the PlanetPress Design Button, choose Send to | Host.
3. Click Save Host File.
4. Enter the name of the file in which you want to save the converted document and click Save.
To send a document to a UNIX or Linux print spooler system:
1. Verify the Compilation options and Resource options settings in the Document properties dialog box are
the ones you want for this document.
2. From the PlanetPress Design Button, choose Send to | Host.
3. In the Host Type box, select Codehost BrightQ.
4. Set options for document output.
Host name or IP address: Enter the host name or the IP address of the UNIX or Linux workstation.
PlanetPress Design transfers the document to the UNIX or Linux workstation and print spooler system
using TCP/IP. Be sure to specify the accompanying password.
Port: The default port number is 5662. The port number may be modified under the specification of the
network administrator. PlanetPress Design must connect to the specified TCP port and send a document
conforming to the following specifications.
Password: Enter the password for the workstation.
Document name: Enter the file name for the converted document. This must be a file name, not a
path. The name must be no longer than 10 characters.
Printer storage: Select the printer location of the installed document. PlanetPress Design sends both
the trigger and compiled document.
