Configure the general options

General settings for the application

1. Click [Tools] - [General options].

2. [Open 'Save as' dialog for converted documents] 

   This option enables the [Save as...] dialog for converted documents when saved for the first time. Documents are converted by the application when the original document is:

   • A non-page programmed PDF

   • A PDF with an ODW 3.6.x page program

   • A Microsoft Office document

   Use the [Save as...] functionality to keep the original PDF document.

3. [Recent files] 

   Specify the number of files that appear in the [Open recent] list in the [File] menu.

   • [Clear List] 

     Removes the files from the [Open recent] list in the [File] menu.

4. [Language] 

   You can change the display language of VDP editor to your preferred language at any time.

   1. Select the language you want to use from the drop-down list and click [OK].

   2. To apply the language, close all PRISMAprepare applications:

      • PRISMAprepare

      • PRISMAprepare administration

      • PRISMAprepare hotfolders (both the [Hot Folder Administration] and the [Hot Folder Monitoring Console] )

      • VDP editor

   3. Then open the applications again.

   The selected display language is not applied to the [Floating License Server]. The [Floating License Server] remains in its original language.

5. The [Enable overprint preview] option simulates overprints in the application. Use this option to get an estimation of how overprint behavior appears in the printed document.

   The overprint preview setting is not automatically available in the [Production] workspace. You have to select another workspace and then select the [Production] workspace to load the overprint preview setting in the [Production] workspace.

6. [Color spaces] 

   Select the default color space for the application. The working spaces will be set automatically according to the selected color space. The color space embedded in a document can be different from the color space used by the application. In this case, the application uses the embedded color space of the document.

   A color space is an intermediate color space used to define and edit colors in Adobe applications. Each color model has an associated color space profile. Use this option to choose the default color space profiles.

   A color space profile acts as the source profile for newly created documents that use the associated color model. For example, if sRGB IEC61966-2.1 is the current RGB color space profile, each new RGB document that you create will use colors within the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 gamut. Color spaces also determine the appearance of colors in documents that do not use a color model.

7. Click [OK] to apply these settings to the application.
