Before generating Email output
l Decide on the use of an Email Service Provider; see "Using an ESP with PlanetPress
Connect" on page1448.
l Make sure that a data set is loaded, that any necessary files, such as images and
attachments, are in place, and that the correct settings are selected (see below).
l If you're using style sheets to style the email, choose whether the styles must be added to
the header of the email or to inline style properties as if local formatting was applied (this
is also called "embedded CSS"). This setting is made per Email section. See "Email
section properties" on page982.
l
You may want to rasterize certain elements, to ensure that most email clients would
actually see the output. Rasterizing converts the element to a JPG or PNG image.
To rasterize an element, right-click it and select Rasterize options. For a JPG image you
can set the quality of the resulting image in a percentage.
Note
Rasterization options are only available for Boxes (<div> elements); see "Boxes" on
page668.
Note
A business graphic in an Email section is rasterized by default and output as PNG
image, because email clients usually don't support SVG images.
SVG images in an Email section give an error in the Preflight window (see "Doing a
Preflight" on page855).
l
For Email output, PNG is the preferred image format.
EPS, PDF, SVG and TIFF images in an Email section are automatically converted to
PNG to ensure that they can be seen in the email client.
l Test and validate the output; see "Testing Email output" on the next page.
