Save

The Save page of the Printing Preferences window allows you to configure save options for the generated PDF file and add after-save actions.

The window can be opened by choosing the Printing Preferences menu item when novaPDF is selected in the Printers and Faxes window and clicking the Save tab. This tab is also accessible from the printing Windows application in the Print dialog if you press the Properties (Preferences) button when novaPDF is selected.

Destination

When you have a Public Profile on a novaPDF Server Edition, you can choose where to save the generated PDF file. For private profiles, the destination is always Local and the options are grayed out.

Local

If the destination is set to local, the file will be saved on the computer from where the print job was started.

Network

If the destination is set to network, the file will be saved on the printer server computer.

Save options

This group allows you to choose if the PDF will be automatically saved to a location or a dialog will be displayed each time.

Prompt Save As Dialog

If this is selected, each time you will create a PDF file you will be prompted with the Save As dialog where you can manually set the destination folder and file name for the generated PDF files. Using the Configure Save Options window you can add a default path to be remembered for each time you create a PDF file, as well as to automatically assign a name for the PDF file. This way when the Save As dialog will prompt, the default path will be opened and the name auto-generated.

Use predefined settings

Select this if you prefer to automatically save and name all generated PDF files in the same folder that can be defined in the Configure Save Options window.

After Save Action

You can set whether to perform an action or not after the PDF file was generated and saved:

All changes you make on this page, are saved in the active Profile. For more details on how to manage profiles go to Profiles or How to use Profiles topics.
