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.

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 Suite Workflow Tools User Guide for more complete information.
5. Select your output options in the Soft Proof Options group. Note that you may select all three available outputs for a
single soft proof.
Open in PDF viewer: Select to have PlanetPress Design display the generated soft proof using your PDF viewer.
Save to file: Select to have PlanetPress Design save the generated soft proof. You can use the box to the right to spec-
ify a name and location. If no name is provided, the document’s name is used. If no location is provided, a dialog box
will be generated when the soft proof is actually generated.
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.

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.
