Enable VDP and view VDP content

Top Previous Topic Next Topic  Print this topic

Overview:

Sometimes it is useful to visualize only the static or only the dynamic data present in the document.

 

Solution:

To enable Variable Data Printing for a document, the Enable VDP button located in the Printing group under the Page Layout tab.

 

For a better understanding, an example is provided below.

 

1. The following template containing a repeating table from the cdcatalog.xml sample has been considered.

 

vdp_ex1

 

2. To preview this document, the Print Preview button located in the Document Views group located under the View tab must be accessed.

 

vdp_ex2

 

3. The VDP Preview group contains two checkboxes for viewing the static and dynamic data from the document.

To show/hide static or dynamic data the Static Data or Dynamic Data options must be checked/unchecked.
