Edit
The Edit Profile dialog window will open allowing you to rename the profile currently selected in
the Profiles list-view, change the PDF version (PDF 1.x or PDF/A -1b compliancy) and other
options.
Delete
Deletes the profile selected in the profiles list. You cannot delete the current active profile. You
have to set another profile as active profile first. There will always be at least one profile.
Set Active
Set the profile selected in the profiles list as current active profile. The active profile settings will
be used in the subsequent printing jobs.
Reset
This button is enabled only for public profiles, that can be changed on client computers. On the
client computer, if you changed a public profile, you can press this button to reset the options to
the values from the server computer.
Options
This group allows setting options for public profiles (available only in Server editions) and for
profile activation.
Show Select Profile dialog when printing
If this is checked, before starting the PDF printing process (after hitting the Print button) you'll
get another prompt allowing you to select a profile you want to use for that particular print job.
So even if you have a profile set as default in the Printing Preferences, what you select in this
Select Profile dialog is the profile that will be used for the current printing job.
Create temporary profile for each printing job
If checked, novaPDF will attach to each PDF printing job a temporary profile. This is a safety
measure, so that if you send a job for printing and you modify the profile before the printing is
processed, your sent printing job will be using the profile that it had when the printing was
initiated.
Propagate active public profile on client computers
If this is checked, once a profile becomes active on the print server, it will be automatically
propagated as active profile to all client computers.
Show private profiles on client computer
Check this to allow private profiles to be defined on client computers (unchecking this will show
only the public profiles on the client computers).
When activating a different profile
When activating a different profile you may loose some changes you made to the previous active
profile, if you made some changes in the Printing Preferences property sheet pages and you
did not press the Apply or OK buttons.
You have two options:
·
Ask me what to do - let the system ask you if you want to save the changes to the
previous active profile or not
·
Automatically save changes to the current profile - let the system automatically save
the changes to the previous active profile
