Double-clicking on the data file does the same thing as right-clicking on it an then selecting Set as sample data
file. Clicking Cancel instead of Ok after viewing will prevent this action from being taken.

2. Expand the document (name.ptk) by clicking the button.
3. Right-click on the data file, then click Save sample data file.
Metadata
When a Design Document uses Metadata, it can also be attached with the document. One Metadata file is generated for each
data file attached to the Design Document. Metadata does not appear in the Configuration Components but it follows the data
file and can be viewed from the Metadata tab whenever the data file is viewed through the Data Selector.
Use Attached Document Preview
When sending a PlanetPress Design Document from PlanetPress Design to PlanetPress Workflow, a PDFPreview of the job's
output is automatically sent to PlanetPress Workflow along with the Design Document. This preview appears under the Design
Document in the Documents section of the Configuration Components.
The PDFcontains the result of a preview with the active data file (for all data pages) run as an Optimized PostScript Stream.
To view the Document Preview:
1. Make sure the Documents section is visible by clicking the button if it appears.
2. Expand the document (name.ptk) by clicking the button.
The Document Preview has the same name as the document but with a PDFextension.
3. Right-click on the Document Preview, then click Open in PDFViewer.
To save the Document Preview to disk:
1. Make sure the Documents section is visible by clicking the button if it appears.
2. Expand the document (name.ptk) by clicking the button.
The Document Preview has the same name as the document but with a PDFextension.
3. Right-click on the Document Preview, then click Save PDFFile.
Add Resident Documents in the Configuration Components Pane
By default, the Documents group displayed in Configuration Components Pane of the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Con-
figuration program includes all those documents that are available on your local PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools server.
Those documents that are not available on your localPlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools server, but that are either available on
printers or on other PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools servers must added to the list, otherwise you will not be able to use
them in your PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools configuration.
