Invalid name: Select to have PlanetPress Design display an error message when you enter an invalid name for an
element. Clear to prevent the display of the error message.
Invalid added resources: Select to have PlanetPress Design display a message reporting whether it added all
selected resources successfully when you add resources to a document.
Save before closing: Select to have PlanetPress Design prompt for confirmation to save an unsaved document
before closing it. This option applies only to documents that have been saved at least once during a session.
New version of attachments: Select to have PlanetPress Design monitor all attachment resources and prompt for
confirmation to update its copy of an attachment resource when the original file changes. If the original attachment
resource file changes between sessions, PlanetPress prompts for confirmation to update the document’s copy the next
time you open the document.
New version of data file: Select to have PlanetPress Design monitor the sample data file and prompt for con-
firmation to update its copy when the original data file change. PlanetPress prompts for confirmation either when you
return to PlanetPress after making the changes to the data file, or when the focus changes to an element that ref-
erences the data.
New version of picture resource: Select to have PlanetPress Design monitor all image resources and prompt for
confirmation to update its copy of an image resource when the original file changes. If the original image resource file
changes between sessions, PlanetPress prompts for confirmation to update the document’s copy the next time you
open the document. Note that if you edit an image resource from PlanetPress Design, the edits apply only to the copy of
the image internal to the document, and have no effect on the original, external image file.
Invalid PPD notification: Select to have PlanetPress Design display an error message when you attempt to add a
PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file that is either not a valid PPD, or is a PPD that does not use Level 2 PostScript or
higher.
Document name too long for host: Select to have PlanetPress Design issue a warning when you try using file
names that contain more characters than the host computer can support.
PostScript Language Level 3 warning: Select to have PlanetPress Design display a warning when you select
Line art in the Image quality box. The warning reminds you that Line art works only with PostScript Language Level 3
printers.
ASCII emulation warning: Select to have PlanetPress Design warn you if your document uses an ASCII emulation
and the settings of the Optimized PostScript Stream option and the Read in binary mode option may cause dis-
crepancies between the visual appearance of the preview and the visual appearance of the document in the Page area
of the PlanetPress Design Program window. This warning may occur for both hard copy and on-screen previews.
Invalid Undo/Redo action warning: When enabled, issues a message when an Undo or Redo operation is not
possible.
Double-byte text tab support warning: When enabled, issues a message when tabulation with double-byte
fonts is not supported in text fields.
PDF version warning: When enabled, issues a message when PDF version is different and identifies PDF files with
which PlanetPress Design may have compatibility issues, such as PDF versions 1.4 and 1.5 formats. PlanetPress Design
supports only PDF 1.3 format (Adobe® Acrobat® 4) and PDF 1.4 format without transparent objects. PlanetPress
Design does not support PDF 1.5 format (Acrobat 6). PDF 1.4 (Acrobat 5) format files that contain transparent objects
are not supported.
Send to Host notification of success: When enabled, a notification message appears indicating the document
transfer is successful. If an error occurs, a notification message appears whether or not this option is enabled.
