Functions in Export Preview

The Export Preview always appears in a maximized window.

The Help... button opens the Help system for the corresponding topic. The Info... button opens an information window that shows the dimensions of the PDF document and the graphics. This also indicates how large the boxes and photos, if any, will be output.

If you hold the mouse over a box, an information window will appear at the mouse position with basic personal data, the record number, the column and row number and the ancestor or descendant number of the box (if any). A note will be displayed if the box is a duplicate. These information windows are only displayed if a box is at least 2 monitor pixels high and wide in Export Preview mode, which is not always the case for very large graphics.

If the graphic contains duplicates of person boxes, the checkbox Duplicates will be activated. This will cause the duplicates to be highlighted with color to make them easier to find.

Left mouse button, double-click:

Export Preview mode will be closed and the treeview will be displayed in such a way that the graphic position at which you double-clicked in the export preview is close to the center of the treeview window. If you double-click on a box, it will be selected in the treeview.

Right mouse button (click on a box):

The individual box will be shown in a small window exactly as it appears in the treeview at 100% zoom. This small window can be moved with the left mouse button and closed with the right mouse button. The Esc key also closes this window.

Right mouse button (click outside a box):

This calls up the same information window that you can access by clicking the Info... button.

Note: In Export Preview mode, you may notice that background images are not displayed. This can occur if a large number of adjacent background images from a large image file are set for the background in the Treeview Options, Graphic Content tab. The background is not displayed because the graphics resources of your computer may be strained. In these cases, it makes sense to create a significantly smaller copy of the image file in an editing program, which can then be used in Export Preview mode as the background. For the final export, you can reselect the large image file to improve the quality of your export.
