Setting Export Options

Both Sharpdesk and Sharpdesk Composer allow you to attach and send files via email. In
addition, Sharpdesk Composer allows you to export Composer files as Adobe Acrobat (.PDF)
format files. (Refer to Chapter 6: Composing with Sharpdesk for details.) If you have Adobe's
PDFWriter software installed (version 5 or later), Sharpdesk will use that driver to create the PDF
file.
If you do not have Adobe's PDFWriter installed, Sharpdesk will create an "image PDF" file
instead. The Export tab controls the PDF generation process for the image PDF file Sharpdesk
provides. It does not affect the controls that are provided by Adobe with their software.
If your workstation has limited resources, converting a large image to a 300 dpi PDF file can take
considerable time and disk storage. Or, if you want to send a large file via email, converting that
file to a 300 dpi PDF file and sending it may strain the resources of either your or the recipient's
email application or may exceed size restrictions placed on email attachments by some Internet
Service Providers. In such cases, you may modify the default image Export resolution settings.
To do so, choose the Preferences command from the Sharpdesk Tools menu, and click the
Export tab.

Changing the Default Export Resolution

To change the default Export resolution, press and hold the left mouse button on the slider bar in
the Quality Settings frame and drag it until the slider bar displays the desired image conversion
resolution. Dragging the slider to the left will result in shorter conversion times and smaller file
sizes after conversion. Dragging the slider to the right will result in higher quality images.

Changing Color Settings

If a small file size is more desirable than color reproduction for exported files, selecting the Black
and White setting will create the smallest possible file. Selecting the Color setting generates
more accurate color reproduction.
To save your export settings, click OK.
