The right part of the interface contains a number of drop-down panels used to set the parameters of the personalized background and overlaid personalization objects.
Each panel is used to specify the parameters of objects of the following types: | |
---|---|
• The START panel is used to specify the parameters of the personalized background. The background can be a clear pdf page or a page from a pdf file. This panel also includes a START button that starts generating personalized pages on the disk with the applied personalization objects. | |
• The FIG panel is designed to apply basic geometric figures to the personalized background. These objects are not personalization objects. The same defined shape is applied on every subsequent page of the background. | |
• The RAS (raster graphics) panel is used to overlay raster graphics formats: jpg, gif, png, bmp, tif and jpg 2000. Important: png files must not be interlaced files. | |
• The PDF panel (pdf pages) is applicable when specifying the parameters of pdf file pages that are the personalization objects. | |
• The COD panel is used to apply various types of barcodes to the background. Currently, these include EAN13, EAN8, CODE128 and QR codes. Other types of codes will be available in future updates. Data for encoding can be imported from txt files and spreadsheets. | |
• The TXT panel is designed to apply single-line text frames, which can be imported from txt files or spreadsheets, to the personalized background. Each line of the txt file is a separate personalization object. As regards data imported from sheets, each cell of the sheet is a separate personalization object. If a spreadsheet cell contains content with line breaks (multiline text), each line of such a cell will be imported separately during import. In other words: the multi-line cell will be split into individual lines. The XLS panel is used to place multi-line frames. | |
• The XLS panel is used to insert multi-line texts. Importing data into this panel from a spreadsheet does not split multi-line cells into individual rows. | |
• The NUM panel, unlike the other panels, generates personalization data (numbers) automatically. These are special text frames with content generated while saving consecutive pages of the personalized background. |
