Preview Options in Arbortext Styler
You can preview the effects of your feuille de style on your documents from Arbortext Styler.
Choose the menu option from the Arbortext Styler window and then choose one of the available outputs:
• Arbortext Editor - displays the document in Arbortext Editor using the current feuille de style settings.
• Print - displays the document in a print preview window using the current feuille de style settings.
The publishing engine used to generate a print preview usually depends on the active print engine setting for your
Arbortext Editor with Styler environment. See
Publishing engine overview in
Arbortext Editor help for a summary of the capabilities of each print engine.
One of two distinct preview windows will be used to display your previewed document, depending on which print engine is generating the preview:
• PDF - displays the document as a PDF file in Adobe Reader, using the current feuille de style settings. You must have Adobe Reader installed.
The method used to create the PDF preview mirrors that set in Arbortext Editor for publishing to PDF.
The engine used to generate the PDF preview usually depends on the active print engine setting for your Arbortext Editor with Styler environment.
If your
Arbortext Editor environment is set to use
PTC APP as the print engine for the publishing action, you will see the interim dialog box
Publishing PDF while it is progressing. The dialog box provides information about the progress of the publishing action.
• EPUB - displays the document as an EPUB file (.epub) in Calibre’s E-book viewer using the current feuille de style settings. You must have Calibre 0.8.0 or later installed.
• HTML File - displays the document as an HTML file in a browser using the current feuille de style settings.
• HTML Help - displays the document as an HTML Help file (.chm) in Microsoft's HTML Help viewer using the current feuille de style settings. You must have Microsoft HTML Help Workshop installed.
• Web - displays the document as a Arbortext Editor web document in a browser using the current feuille de style settings. You must have a supported browser to access this preview option.
• RTF - displays the document as an RTF file using the current feuille de style settings.
Arbortext Styler performs an automatic validation of your stylesheet when you select a preview action. If there are any errors in the stylesheet, if it contains incorrect references to modules, or there are incongruences in translation languages, details of the error will be listed in the Styler Log window.
