Version 5.3.02 - Serendipity Software

Page View (Contextual Menu)
There are various options available from the context (right click) menu:
• Open Publication – Opens a QueueManager showing all jobs processed in the system. Select a job or publication
job to load and click OK.
• Reload Publication – Reloads the current publication with files from the queue. This is used if additional files
have been processed as part of the publication, or changes have been made and the publication needs to be
updated.
• Choose Press – Select a Press configuration to apply to the job currently (and subsequently) loaded into the
FlipBook. (see Workbench -­‐ Press for details)
• Job Info – Displays the Job Info information about the currently selected page. (see Workbench -­‐
QueueManager for details).
• Swap Page with – Swap the page currently selected with another page from the same (currently loaded)
publication.
• View Original – Opens and views the imaged file of the selected page in the SoftProof application.
• View Printed – Opens and views the rendered file of the selected page in the SoftProof application.
• View 3D – Toggles between a 3D or 2D view of the publication. Three dimensional viewing shows the page
turning as you navigate through. The turning speed can be adjusted FlipBook Settings.
3D mode adds 2 sliders on the right side of the Page View. The first alters the angle at which the 3D virtual
book is viewed, the second zooms the view in and out.
Note: The performance of the page turning may vary depending on the size of the thumbnail being viewed and the
performance of the graphics card.
• View as Calendar – Only available in 3D mode. Changes the flip axis to horizontal so pages flip up and down in
the same manner as a calendar.
• Export – Exports the FlipBook as a PDF. Select the resolution, compression type and quality. Choose between
exporting the whole book or a range of pages.
• Export as Spreads – Exports the FlipBook as a PDF but as spreads. The same options as above apply.
• Export as Movie (3D view mode only) – Exports the FlipBook as a QuickTime movie. After selecting this there
are three further options:
o Codec Type – Choose the preferred compression type from the menu.
o Quality – Choose the preferred quality.
o Keyframe Spacing – Choose how often a keyframe is saved.
The settings you choose will affect the size of the movie, the quality and the compatibility with other applications.
There are many Codec types available and not all work on all systems. Commonly used types are Apple MPEG4 and
H.264 avc1. Increasing the quality setting also increases the file size. This is also true for the keyframes. The more
keyframes, the better the quality but the larger the file size. Trial and error will provide you with the desired result.
• Render Queue Thumbnails – View the Rendered thumbnails in rather than the default Imaged thumbnails.
Page Index Panel
The Page Index displays a numbered box for each page making up the loaded Publication. It allows for direct navigation
to any page by clicking on it.
The page boxes are colour coded:
Light Green indicates the pages are loaded into the FlipBook and can be viewed. These show as dark
green when selected.
Purple indicates there are duplicate pages, i.e., they have the same publication name and page
numbers. Dark purple indicates the pages are selected.
Clicking on these pages allows you to select and view the alternative page:
