The Document Presentation

TIB provides two simultaneous views of the document. The HTML view on the left, and the PDF view on the right.

PDF View

The PDF is a standard view of the Composition PDF. That means it has paragraph numbers rendered in the left margin. This enables quick correlation with the HTML scrolling view.

PDF View with Section Typography Report

 When you generate a section typography report it is displayed over the PDF. It can be hidden and displayed, or regenerated at any time.

HTML View

The HTML view has the Print CSS applied and is a close facsimile of the PDF rendering.

The HTML view has the following features:

Red Guidetext: This displays header, list item and paragraph numbers and can be used for quick correlation with the PDF. Guide text can be turned off from the toolbar if a less cluttered view is required.

Page breaks and page numbers: Based on the line-count set in IGP:Document Designer. There is a horizontal rule with a number. The number represents the top of the page to which it applies. It is a sequence number as the real page number is not known when rendering a section. This number matches the PDF page number. Page numbers and page breaks cannot be turned off.

Tracking Buttons: Each header, list item and paragraph has a small Tracking button next to it. When this is clicked the Tracking Tools open and the paragraph can be modified.

Page Context to PDF: If you have a tracking box open and click save, when the PDF is generated it will open at the same page as the HTML view.
