Create Print

Overview

Der folgende Kurzfilm erklärt Ihnen wie Sie die Einstellungen und Exportmöglichkeiten von ANTEROS.print nutzen können um anschauliche Kataloge und Datenblätter zu generieren.
Use the Print menu to create a desired publication according to a selected rule, which will influence the further setting options.
The standard menu already provides a number of choices - even more can be found in customer projects.

Printing Rule

There are standard selection options such as "standard catalog", "price lists", "data sheets" and "brochure", which can be further supplemented in the customer project.

Print profiles

To easily perform regularly recurring print or label outputs, save all settings in the print form as a profile.

After selecting a print rule, publication, the chapters, options and the file name, you can save everything in a profile by clicking the New button.

A new dialog will appear in which you will need to enter the profile name and set other options. A print profile can be made private or public. If the profile is public, other users can also use it.

After you click the Create button, the new profile will be created and you can select it at any time in the Print form to apply all the specifications from it.
You can also change print profiles later by selecting the profile you want to change and clicking the Edit button. This opens a new dialog window in which you can edit the profile. This will also save any changes you have previously made to the print form.

Publication

Here you can select a previously created publication to extract it.

Languages

At this point you can select the language used for generating the print document. The translations of the objects within the system are used here.

Sections

If you selected "Standard catalog" from the Print rule options list, you can select styles for the catalog sections listed below:
  • Table of contents: If you decide on a table of contents, you can add a main table of contents and/or a chapter table of contents by clicking on the arrow to the right.
  • Product pages: If you want to display product pages in your document, you can also decide whether to display prices and relations.
  • Article directory: For a selected article directory, you can also specify whether the article name should be displayed or not.
  • Index: Here you can also decide whether the article name should be used as a keyword.

Options

Here you can personalize your print document by making further adjustments:

Embed decorative pages: "Yes" is selected by default.

Ignore set page breaks: "No" is selected by default.

Black change: You can activate a black change function in the standard printing rules. This determines the height of various text blocks during print generation and stores it in the DataObject. If a height is already stored, it will be updated if the height of the generated block is greater than the stored height.

This way, all print catalogs can be generated in all desired languages first, and finally the final catalogs can be generated in each language with the determined maximum block heights.

This allows the black parts (especially the texts) to be printed separately from the color parts by color separation.

Enable multiple PDF creation: This option is only available if you have selected the "Data Sheets" print rule. The default setting is "No".

Mode: Here you can select the format your print document will be created in. It can be a "draft", or a "webpdf", or even in "print quality", or should the document still be accessible for "correction". Your choice will influence the subsequently available options. "Draft" is selected by default.
More options for " Draft ":
  • with PDF compression: "No" is selected by default.
  • Link page reference: "Yes" is selected by default.
More options for "Print Quality":
  • With Trim: The trim is the distance from the contents of the document to the margin. By default, Yes is selected.
  • Trim [mm]: Here you can specify how much trim the document should have. The default is 3mm.
More options for "Correction":
  • With PDF compression: "No" is selected by default.
  • Use PIM Editor linking: If activated, then links to the corresponding entry in the PIM system are stored in the correction PDF behind the individual content elements, allowing you to enter changes in a time-efficient manner. Yes" is selected by default.
  • Gridlines for page areas, tables, block elements and inline elements: All gridlines are disabled by default.

File

Here you can name your export file before export. By default, a name based on the selected export types is generated here. If you specify your own file name, its validity will be checked.  You can also control whether the date and time addition should be appended or not.

Start Settings

Here you can add a note to your export and decide whether you want to start the export directly or specify a start time.
If you uncheck "Start directly", you can specify the execution date and time. After planning the process, you will be notified by a short note at the top of the screen. The note is used to later identify the process in the process monitor.
You can find more information about the process monitor in the corresponding subchapter under "Administration". You can also decide whether the process should be repeated and at which intervals.
In addition, you can decide whether you want to receive an e-mail after the process has been completed. You can also specify several e-mail addresses, which must then be separated by a comma/semicolon.
Finally, you can select one or more locations to which the result file(s) will be additionally copied after a successful export. These locations must have been set up beforehand.
Once you have started the print generation, it is also possible to pause it again.
