 Things to Remember

1.      If you have selected "(BLANK)" as one of your Image types.  The feature will only look for any blanks in the "Type" column on the far right.  

2.      This export will not include compact documents.   A compact document is any document that does not have an extension.  In the example below two documents are not eligible for export.  They are 10/04/2006 and 10/26/2007.  On both documents the "EXT" is missing.  So if you added any of the image types in your selection list. The documents will not produce.  To make a document eligible for export it must have an extension which is visible in the "EXT"column.

3.      The export feature can be used for manual letters, batch process letters, print now command, put on list command, preview command, print special command, quick edit command, group documents, and conditional documents.

4.  If you are printing documents on demand or using the preview edit command.  The exported image will not produce until after you leave Word or WordPerfect.  This can be done by clicking on the JST END button.  Once that is done your image will be created.

5.  If you are using documents with an image type of .pdf.  It will leave Adobe Acrobat running in the background. It will require you to close it manually.

6.  The export feature only work on images that are printer friendly.

7.   If you are on a workstation that does not have the proper software that produces the image.  The image will not be exported.  For example, if you want to export a .pdf image and you do not have Adobe Acrobat on that workstation your export will not produce.  It will require you to go to a workstation that has Adobe Acrobat.  It will only export images that would open on your regular workstation without having CollectMax involved.
