You can choose to Open the PDF file after saving. The properties are divided into six sections:

 

 

When checked, the PDF file will open at the end of each iteration.

 

 

Set the PDF quality (Low, Medium, High, Highest) from the drop-down list.

 

 

Choose which layout pages to export.

 

 

Choose whether to save the output of each iteration to a separate file or combine all the output into a single file.

 

 

Choose whether to start with a new file or append the output to an existing PDF file.

 

 

Enter the filename for the exported PDF file. See Save Layout - File Options for a description of batch generated filenames.

 

 

Click OK when you are finished editing the properties.
