1. From the PlanetPress Design Button, choose Preview.
2. Select the data pages you want to use for the preview in the Data page range group.
All data pages: Select to use all data pages (or in the case of a database emulation, all record sets) in the sample
data file. It is important to understand that this refers to data pages and not document pages. The presence or absence
of an individual document page in the preview depends on the output type (printer, PlanetPress Image, PlanetPress
Fax) and the condition, if any, set on the page.
Use data page range: Select to specify the range of data pages in the sample data file that you want to use for this
preview. Use the From and To spin boxes to enter the range. It is important to understand that this refers to data pages
and not document pages. The presence or absence of an individual document page in the preview depends on the out-
put type and the condition, if any, set on the page.
From: Enter the page number of the first data page in the range of data pages you want to use for the preview. You
can type the page number or use the spin buttons to adjust the value. Remember that if you start document execution
at a given data page, any effects the preceding data pages may have had on execution up to that point, are not avail-
able. This option is available only when you select Use data page range.
To: Enter the page number of the last data page in the range of data pages you want to use for the preview. You can
type the page number or use the spin buttons to adjust the value. This option is available only when you select Use data
page range.

options for the PDF files.
Zoom factor: Select the zoom factor at which you want Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader to open the PDF file gen-
erated by the preview. Select Fit in window to adjust the zoom factor such that each page of the PDF occupies a full
screen, or select a specific zoom factor. This is the same option available in the PDF options for the PlanetPress Image
output task in PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools. Consult the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools User Guide for more
complete information.
View: Select the information you want Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader to display along with the pages of the PDF file
generated by the preview. Select Page only to leave the tabs area to the left of the PDF pages empty. Select Book-
marks and page to display the contents of the Bookmarks tab alongside the PDF pages. Select Pages tab and page to
display the content of the Pages tab alongside the PDF pages. Select Full screen to hide all screen contents except the
PDF page, and expand the PDF page to the maximum size it can occupy on screen. You can press ESCAPE to restore
the screen contents. Note that Full screen overrides the setting in the Zoom factor box. This is the same option avail-
able in the PDF options for the PlanetPress Image output task in PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools. Consult the Plan-
etPress Workflow Tools User Guide for more complete information.
