When file exists
This option is only displayed when you select Use predefined setting from the Save window.
When a file with the same name already exists in the selected folder, you can choose one of the
next actions:
·
Prompt Save As dialog - a "Save as" dialog will be shown so you can change the name of
the file or folder manually
·
Auto number new files - a counter is added to the file name of the new generate pdf file
·
Append date and time - the date and time is appended to the generated pdf file name
·
Overwrite - existing file is overwritten with the new generated file
·
Auto number existing files - a counter is added to the file name of the existing pdf file.
The new pdf file will have the name set in this dialog
·
Append to existing PDF file - if a PDF file with the same name already exists in the
selected destination, the current PDF file will be merged with the existing one, adding its
pages at the end of the previous existing document
·
Insert before into existing PDF file - if a PDF file with the same name already exists in
the selected destination, the current PDF file will be merged with the existing one, adding
its pages before the content of the previous existing document
·
Do not save PDF - if a PDF file with the same name already exists in the selected
destination, the current PDF file will not be saved
PDF Password
If you selected in the File Name section an already existing PDF file and you want to merge the
current document with it, you'll have to enter the password needed to open the existing one (only
if it's password protected). If the PDF you want to merge with is not password protected, you
must leave this field empty.
After Save Action
You can set whether to perform an action or not after the PDF file was generated and saved:
·
None: no action will be performed
·
Open with default viewer: if this is selected the resulting PDF file will be opened in the
default viewer
·
Run application: if this is selected, you can choose an application to run after the PDF if
saved. You can also add some parameters that will be passed to the application when
started.
You can also enter network paths (UNC) in the Application field in case the application you want
to launch is not on the local computer. Only a full path is allowed. For example, suppose
\\PDF_Server\PC1 is mapped on your workstation as drive X, then the following paths are both
valid and indicate the same folder: \\PDF_Server\PC1\PDF or X:\PDF. It the network file requires
authentication (different from your user login) you have to click on Connect using a different user
name and enter the username/password.
All changes you make on this page are saved in the active profile. For more details on how to
manage profiles consult the Profiles section. The active profile is shown at the top of the window
having in parenthesis what type of profile it is. For example if Profile1 (Private profile) is
shown at the top, it means that the name of the active profile is Profile1 and it is a private
profile)
1.3.10.1 Configure Save Options
Configure Save Options is available when clicking the same named button from the Save
window after selecting the Prompt standard Save As dialog or Prompt extended Save
dialog option. You can set the folder where the PDF files will be saved after generation and add
file-naming macros to automatically name the generated PDF.
