Formats On Demand

If the DPI options and other dependencies have all been setup correctly, formats and packages can be generated at any time. You can generate as many formats as required at a time.

The Available Formats

Not all formats may be present or available for all documents. The FOD interface is setup from each document template. Depending on your configuration and other custom issues, formats may or may not be available. Roll over the format buttons in your interface. If it lights up green you can use it with this document.
