Dashboards and Widgets Creation Guide Document Review 1
Opening a document in a separate browser window is useful for a document
designer. It allows him to return to the Document Editor, switch to Design
View, and edit the document while referring to a copy of the document as it
looks in a browser.
To open a document in a separate browser window
1 In Desktop, double-click the document name or icon. The document
opens in PDF View, in Acrobat Reader.
2 Click the Export to HTML icon in the toolbar. The Export to HTML
dialog box opens.
Note
the following:
• If the Export to HTML icon is unavailable, HTML exporting has
not been made available for this document.
• If the Export to HTML dialog box is not displayed, you do not need
to complete the remaining steps of this procedure. A copy of the
document opens in a browser.
3 If your document contains multiple layouts, you can choose to export the
entire document or only the current layout. A multi-layout document
contains multiple documents, each in its own layout, creating a “book” of
documents. Each layout functions as a separate document, with its own
grouping, page setup, and so on, but the layouts are generated into a
single PDF document. For an example of a multi-layout document, see
Multi-layout documents, page 19. For an explanation of how layouts are
exported, including examples, see the Document Creation Guide.
• To export the entire document, select All layouts.
• To export the current layout only, select Current layout.
4 If your document contains page-by fields, you can choose to export the
entire document or only the selected group element to HTML. Page-by
allows you to view the document by a selected group element. For
examples of a paged document, and instructions on how to disable
page-by, see the Document Creation Guide.
• To export the entire document, clear the Expand page-by check box.
• To export only the selected group element, select the Expand
page-by check box.
