Emailoutputsettings
ThefollowingsettingsinanEmailcontextinfluencehowtheEmailoutputisgenerated.
Compressing PDF attachments
ForPDFattachments,generatedfromthePrintcontext,youcansetthePrintContextImageCom-
pressiontodeterminethequalityofthefiles,andwiththat,thesizeofthefiles.
TosetthePrintContextImageCompression:
1. OntheResourcespane,expandtheContextsfolder;thenright-clicktheEmailcontextand
selectPDF Attachments.
Alternatively,selectContext > PDF Attachmentsonthemainmenu.Thisoptionisonlyavail-
ablewheneditinganEmailsectionintheWorkspace.
2. ChangethepropertiesofthePDFfilethatwillbeattachedwhenthePrintcontextisattachedto
theemail.
Losslessisthemaximumquality.NotethatthiswillproducealargerPDFfile.Uncheckthis
optiontobeabletosetalowerquality.
Thequalityissetinapercentageofthemaximumquality.
TileSizeisthesizeofthefilesinwhichtheimagethatisbeingcompressedisdivided.(Ifthe
imageheightorwidthisnotanevenmultipleofthetilesize,partialtilesareusedontheedges.)
Imagedataforeachtileisindividuallycompressedandcanbeindividuallydecompressed.When
lowQualityvaluesareusedtooptimizeimagessmallerthan1024x1024pixels,usingthelargest
tilesizewillproducebetterresults.
Setting a default section for output
WhengeneratingoutputfromtheEmailcontext,onlyoneoftheEmailtemplatescanbemergedwith
eachrecord.OneoftheEmailsectionsisthe'default';see"SettingadefaultEmailtemplateforoutput"
onpage161.
Email templates
Emailtemplates(alsocalledEmailsections)arepartoftheEmailcontextinatemplate.TheEmailcon-
textoutputsHTMLemailwithembeddedformattingtoanemailclientthroughtheuseofanemail
server.Sinceemailclientsarenumerousanddonotsupportsamefeatures,theHTMLgeneratedby
thiscontextisnotoptimizedforanyspecificclient-rather,it'smeanttobecompatiblewithasmanycli-
entsandasmanydevicesaspossible.
InEmailtemplates,manycontentelementscanbeused;see"Contentelements"onpage170.
However,specialattentionmustbepaidtothewayelementsarepositioned.InEmailsections,itis
