8-8 Fiery WebSpooler and Fiery Spooler
Thumbnails and full-screen previews (DocBuilder)
Like the Command WorkStation, Fiery WebSpooler includes a powerful DocBuilder
tool that allows you to preview and edit raster data. DocBuilder consists of two
thumbnail windows and several page-manipulation commands (listed in the Page
menu). The DocBuilder tool can be used in the following ways:
• In the Thumbnail A window, you can see thumbnails of the currently printing job,
as it is processed, or of any raster data job.
• From the Thumbnail A window you can open a full-screen preview of a raster file.
• Using the Thumbnail A and Thumbnail B windows together, you can merge raster
data from more than one file, even if the files were printed from different
applications on different computer platforms.
DocBuilder’s merge features eliminate the limitations of particular software
applications. You can merge raster pages of documents of different types, and even
different computer operating systems. You can merge color pages from graphics
programs with text pages from a word processor.
NOTE: In cases where multiple users are connected to the ColorPASS via Fiery
WebSpooler and/or the Command WorkStation, and one user makes changes to a
Thumbnail A job, not all users may see the results of those changes. If you are unable
to view changes in a job, or if selecting a Thumbnail window results in a message
indicating zero pages, then close and relaunch Fiery WebSpooler or the Command
WorkStation.
DocBuilder differences in Fiery WebSpooler
The DocBuilder tool in Fiery WebSpooler functions almost identically to that in the
Command WorkStation. For detailed information on using DocBuilder, see Chapters
3 and 4 (for instructions on editing and merging raster files, see “Merging PostScript
and raster files with DocBuilder Pro” on page 4-15). Though the interfaces are almost
identical, there are some feature differences:
• You cannot scroll through the pages in Thumbnail A or Thumbnail B by dragging
the slider bar at the bottom of the screen.
• Thumbnail A right-click commands are not available; instead click on a page to
select it, and either click the appropriate button in the Thumbnail A window or
choose the appropriate command from the Page menu.
