Editing the rendition properties

How renditions are generated is controlled by a set of properties for each document. You can modify these properties to meet your specific rendition requirements..

Note:
  • Publisher supports hybrid document publishing and rendering when the source and destination systems are both Meridian Enterprise. It is supported only if no rendering is performed or if the AutoCAD rendering module is used. Hybrid parts are not rendered or published if the AutoVue rendering module is used.
  • These properties only affect renditions created by Publisher rendering jobs. They do not affect viewing PDF source documents, which uses the default settings and are not configurable.
  • These properties may be set for batches of documents using the Set Property Value command described in Setting a property value. However, in PowerUser only the properties with lookup lists are available for setting. They are all available in PowerWeb. You may not set unlisted values for properties with lookup lists even if you have the privilege to do so. No error message will be displayed and the value will not be changed.
