12 Print Preview Filling in Forms "Fast adjustment, simple programming, good documentation." Tobias Ueberwasser Mettler-Toledo Print Preview Convenient for checking, printing and directly e-mailing reports. You can zoom in on the pages steplessly in order to check the details. After the final inspection, start printing the file, export it, save it or send it via e-mail. Filling out Forms Form control objects are placed in the Designer where the end user is supposed to make entries in the preview. With this feature you are provided with flexible possibilities of predefined forms, which can be filled out directly without any data transfer. Further Data Use Once all the entries in the preview have been made by the end user, the printing or exportation process can be started directly, e.g. with XML. It is possible, for instance, to send a preview file which is to be filled in by the recipient. The entered data can be exported with the click of a button and sent back to where the imported XML data can be analyzed. Direct Integration in Custom Dialogs As part of the .NET, VCL and OCX components, the inplace-preview control may be integrated into your dialogs. Viewer Application Just a double-click and the receiver views a preview file in full screen mode, prints and resends it without having the regular List & Label DLLs. The viewer application may be distributed without additional licensing fees! We also provide everything you need to create your own viewer application. Internet Viewer A special OCX/ActiveX object that also allows real-data preview and adaption. The OCX/ActiveX is digitally signed. Sending via E-mail Preview or export files can be directly sent via MAPI, xMAPI or SMTP. With SMTP you predefine the mail settings in the control panel, e.g. the sender. If requested, just compress the preview for transmission. An additional option is to export straight to HTML e-mail, rather than a text e-mail with an HTML attachment. Supervision of Print Jobs You can follow the progress of a printjob after having passed it on to the spooler. This is the only way to really ensure that it has not been interrupted or canceled while in progress. One event for this feature is in each of the the components .NET, VCL and OCX (Windows NT/2000/ XP), otherwise with callback. Endless Paper and Forms Besides a layout-oriented text export, text can be sent directly to a dot-matrix printer by bypassing the printer driver. This ensures perfect performance when using endless labels and forms.
Export Formats PDF The PDF export delivers small files fast and provides you with an encryption up to 128 bit and the ability to allow or prohibit print, process and copy separately. It also lets you embed the fonts used. Learn more about signing PDF files on page 10. RTF Text is positioned with text boxes and is therefore easy to process in Word afterwards. Excel Choose either pure data export where you edit the result like a regular Excel sheet, or choose complete layout adoption, where the layout is displayed in Excel as accurately as possible. Without any OLE mechanisms you are independent from an existing Excel installation. If you wish you can create one worksheet per page and name them sequentially, e.g. "Article list P. 1/2/3/…" HTML Using cascading style sheet (CSS) tags for table frames achieves significantly better results, especially when using individual frame formats. MHTML In contrast to HTML the result is a single file which, in addition to the data in HTML format, also contains all required pictures. Text Either data oriented creation of CSV files (data conversion!) or layout oriented e.g. for dot-matrix and endless paper printers. The pure data export can produce Unicode files, provided all Unicode characters come from the same code page range, e.g. only Japanese or only Chinese etc. Learn more about signing text files on page 10. TIFF / Multi-TIFF Choose between multiple compression types and qualities. Learn more about signing Multi-TIFF files on page 10.
