Execute PTC ALD Snapshot Dialog Box
In this dialog box, the Execute ALD Snapshot tool helps you troubleshoot publishing problems when using PTC ALD to print or publish PDF. This troubleshooting tool requires an existing PTC ALD snapshot zip file. You need to create the snapshot file in advance. For more information, refer to Troubleshooting PTC ALD Publishing.

View Result — Specify whether to view the PDF after it is created.
Input File — Specify the location of the PTC ALD snapshot file.
