Certain dialog boxes present in, or invoked from, the PTC ALD Preview window provide information about the preview process and the document being previewed:

This dialog box appears when you click the Abort button in the Publishing to PDF dialog box. It provides a yes/no option for you to confirm that you want to terminate the creation of a document preview in the PTC ALD Preview window, for example if it is clear that the Generate Preview task has entered an infinite loop.

This dialog box appears when you select the Go To Page option in the PTC ALD Preview window, by choosing the View > Go To > Page Number menu option. It provides a field in which you can type the number of the page you would like to see displayed in the window.

. It provides several fields in which you can configure a text search for the document displayed in the Preview window:

• Find What: enter the text string for which you would like to search. The term will be held in memory until you close the Preview window, allowing you to select it again in the same preview session if you wish.

• Match Whole Word Only: select this option if you wish to find only the entire word that matches the text listed in the Find What field. For example, a search for the will flag only the and will ignore theatre.

• Match Case: select this option if you wish to make the search case-sensitive. For example, a search for XML will only flag XML, and will ignore xml or Xml

• Search Up: select this option if you wish to search from the bottom up in the document.

• Find Next: click to find the next occurrence of the matched search term in the previewed document. the search will continue downwards through the document by default; if you have selected the Search Up option, however, the search will proceed towards the top of the document.

The find process will automatically restart from the beginning of the document when it reaches the end.
