Send to Email recipient: Select to have PlanetPress Design attach the generated soft proof to an Email message
created within your default Email program.
6. If your document uses database emulation, set the refresh option.
Refresh data from database: Select to have PlanetPress Design refresh the sample data file by repeating the SQL
query before creating the preview. Clear to have PlanetPress Design use the sample data file in its current state. This
option is available only when your document uses database emulation.
Refresh Metadata: Select to have PlanetPress Design refresh the metadata file before creating the preview. Clear
to have PlanetPress Design use the metadata file in the current state, without regenerating it.
7. Click OK.
PlanetPress Design closes the Soft Proof dialog box and generates the soft proof. If you are using color management,
recall that color in on-screen previews may not match color in printed output. The color settings of the PDF viewer you
use for on-screen previews determine the color in an on-screen preview of a document, and thus whether that color
matches that in the printed output.
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 con-
tents of a converted document. Before you convert a document, you may want to optimize it to create a smaller and more effi-
cient 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 Post-
Script 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 Con-
firmation 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 con-
nected 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.
