Move a Document between PlanetPress Design Installations
To move a document:
1. Locate the PP7 file for the document you want to move.
2. If the document contains dynamic images that reference external images, verify it can access those images from the
new location. If necessary, perform the necessary steps to move those images available to the document in its new
location.
3. Copy the PP7 file to the new location.

What is a trigger?
A trigger is two lines of PostScript that immediately precede the input data, and “triggers” the execution of a document.The
trigger puts the printer in PostScript mode, and tells the printer which document to launch.
