PageSetter Document Utilities Disk Feb 10, 1987 ------------------------------------------------ These programs are intended to replace the Utilities distributed on the PageSetter V1.0 disk. In order to install them on your PageSetter disk proceed as follows: - From the CLI type: Copy "PageSetter Utilities:Page#?" to PageSetter: (type the line EXACTLY as you see it above) - From the WorkBench: 1) Boot up the PageSetter disk and double click on the PageSetter disk icon. 2) Insert the "PageSetter Utilities" disk (into the external drive if you have one, into the internal drive if not) and double click on it's disk icon. You should now have two windows open. 3) Move the PagePrint and PageIFF icons from the "PageSetter Utilities" into the "PageSetter" window over the old icons. 4) That's all there is to it! Contents of disk ---------------- PagePrint - This is a utility program which will allow you to print documents saved by PageSetter without the need to run PageSetter itself. Since PagePrint is a much smaller program, this will allow you to easily print a document in the background while running other applications. This program will print all of the pages in the document in order of page number. If you wish to print selected pages from your document simply hit ESC when prompted to set the paper to the top of form. This will skip printing of the current page and allow you to proceed to the particular page that you want. Note that in order for PagePrint to properly print a document you must have your printer preferences set to 1) B&W, 2) Aspect Horizontal, 3) Normal, and 4) a threshold value of about 2-4. Actually, the threshold value should be a value between the intensity of the ink and paper colour in the original PageSetter document. * If you find that printing a document from within the main PageSetter program (from the "Department" menu) results in the printing of a strip approx. 1.5" (about 4 cm.) and then skips some space (or ejects the page) you will have to use PagePrint to print your document in it's final form. This is due to an undocumented "feature" of the printer.device and will be corrected in a future release of the operating system. If you have any difficulties in this regard please do not hesitate to call Gold Disk, or write to us at the address given below. Note that due to a limitation in the HP LaserJet driver supplied with the Amiga Workbench it will only allow the printing of pages up to 10.6" in length. Anything on the page below this will not be printed. PageIFF - This is another utlity program which will output your document in the form of an IFF graphics file. Each page of the document will be put into a seperate file with the name ".IFF###" where is a string chosen by you and ### is the page number within the document. As with PagePrint you may skip a page simply by hitting ESC when prompted. Note that the files written by PageIFF could be relatively large (up to 95,000 bytes for an 8.5" x 11" page) and may use a lot of disk space. Also, most Amiga graphics programs can read picture files up to only 640x200 pixels (or 640x400 in interlace mode). This corresponds to a page size of about 5.75" x 2.75" (5.75" x 5.5" in interlace mode). If your page is larger it may not be readable by these graphics programs. At the time of the release of PageSetter V1.0 the only commercially available product that can import such large pictures is Deluxe Paint II. * Both PagePrint and PageIFF can be run from Workbench or the CLI. To run them from Workbench click on the document icon and, while holding down the SHIFT key, double click on the PagePrint or PageIFF icon. To run them from the CLI simply type: PagePrint where is the name of the document you wish to print. If you run them without a document name they will prompt you for a filename. Read_Me - This file.
