1. From the PlanetPress Design Button, choose Preview.
A. PlanetPress Image Options button
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.
3. Select the type of output you want to preview in the Simulation group.
Printer Queue: Select to preview the result of executing the document on a printer.
PlanetPress Fax: Select to preview the result of executing the document in PlanetPress Fax.
PlanetPress Image: Select to preview the result of executing the document in PlanetPress Image.
4. If you selected PlanetPress Image, click the PDF Options button to display the PDF Options dialog and set the display
options for the PDF files.
