Report
In PLDA 5.2 the"Report" button was moved from the main Sheet dialog to Page / Settings dialog. Report still co-operates with the main dialog and if a Mixer is set, it is taken into account.
Report creates a list of pages of the original document with their dimensions.
Pages of dimensions that differ from the first page of the document are highlighted by red color to let the user quickly see the potential problems.
Page numbers are rather page positions for imposition - if Cut Stacks, Booklet or Mixer is chosen, the numbers are not the page numbers as in original document. To quickly overview the pages dimensions, create Report while Step-repeat or N-up without Mixer is chosen.
Dimensions are scaled according to Scale.
ADDITIONAL REPORT OPTIONS (NEW IN PLDA 2.1)
Size to Clipboard: Click the Report button while holding SHIFT [SHIFT+click]. The size of the document will be copied into the clipboard. If Trim Box is shown, the size of actually displayed page is copied, if Trim Box is hidden, the size of the first page of the document is copied. If the document contains pages of various sizes, 3 exclamation marks will be added in front of the size.
Cutter information to Clipboard: Click the Report button while holding Control [CTRL+click]. Information about imposed sheet (how it WILL BE imposed) with the current settings will be copied into the clipboard.
There are 4 pieces of information:
1. Size after cutting (original Trim Box).
2. Cutter window (Size after cutting off the sheet borders - NEW Trim Box).
3. Horizontal spacing.
4. Vertical spacing.
