Exporting files manually
To export files:
| 1. | Open the file containing the pages that you wish to export then choose Export... from the 'File' menu. |
| 2. | Specify the pages to be exported in the Page number range panel: see Selecting page ranges. If page numbering has been configured, Page 1 number will be shown: see Creating page numbers. |
| 3. | Tick Do not overwrite files to add a number to the new output file name if there is an existing file of the same name already present. Deselect if you want same-named files to be overwritten, for example when re-exporting a file with changed options. See also Overwriting files. |

| 5. | Many formats enable you to set up further options: click the options... button to display the appropriate page of the Configuration dialog. You may see some configuration options represented on the Export dialog too, such as: |
| o | When generating TIFF files, select Multi-page TIFFs if you want to create a file for every page of the job. See also Setting advanced options in field definitions for how to use field names as the page names. |
| o | When exporting a Composite document ensure that the Treat as a single file box is ticked. |
| o | Tick the Force monochrome checkbox if required. See also Image import/export options. |
| o | LPR output can be specified: see Setting TCP/IP options. |
| 6. | If you have defined data fields on the pages, the fields can be extracted simultaneously into CSV, XML or text format. In this case the file is not given the extension CSV, XML, etc, but a .LOG file is created instead. Select the options for Log file export. |
| 7. | Click OK when you have finished. |
