Refresh data from database: Select to have PlanetPress Design refresh the sample data file by repeating the SQL
query before creating the soft proof 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.

8. Click OK to exit the Print dialog box and execute the preview.
PlanetPress Design converts the document and adds a trigger to the PostScript code. It then sends the document to
each printer you selected in the Select printers list, along with the pages (or record sets) of the sample data file you
specified for the preview. The preview prints on each of those printers. If you selected a Host based execution, Plan-
etPress Design performs a partial execution of the document before sending it to each of the printers.
If you selected Print to File, PlanetPress Design prompts you to specify the name of the file to which you want to
save the converted document. Once you enter a file name and click Save, PlanetPress Design saves a copy of the con-
verted document (a PostScript file).
Print Using a Windows Driver
PlanetPress Design generates the job file and hands it over with the available print options to the Windows print driver, which
takes the relay for the actual printing part.
When printing using a Windows Driver, PDF image resources will lose their transparency, because they are ras-
terized before being printed. If you place a PDF with transparency on top of another object, the object in the back
may be partially or completely hidden in your output.
To print using a Windows driver:
1. From the PlanetPress Design Button, choose Print Using a Windows Driver.
