Help Topic: Options Panel

The Options panel contains controls which allow you to set various JPDF and Demo options.  This panel contains a Tabbed Pane with two tabs: JPDF and Demo.

JPDF Options

The options on the JPDF tab apply primarily to the operation of the JPDF dialogs.
Language
Allows you to select the language used by the JPDF dialogs.  All labels and messages displayed by the JPDF dialogs come from property files (these are text files that you can edit).  A separate property file is provided for each supported language.  (NOTE: The Demo operates only in English.  Thus, for example, if you select Spanish as the language, then the Demo will remain in English but the JPDF dialogs will be in Spanish.)
Units
Allows you to select the units to be used for measurements (e.g. page sizes): inches or millimeters. The units can be localized for the selected language (inches for English, millimeters for Spanish).
Audible Preview Navigation
Allows you to specify whether a "Page Turning" sound is to be issued when you perform a page navigation in a Preview Dialog.  (NOTE: Due to a JRE bug, the sound is not consistantly played under JRE 1.5 versions prior to 1.5.0_03.)

Demo Options

The options on the Demo tab apply to the operation of the Demo.
Display Print Status Dialog
Allows you to specify whether a Print Status dialog is displayed while a Print Job is executing. The Print Status dialog displays job status information while the job executes in the background.
Display Print Done Dialog
Allows you to specify whether a Print Job Completion dialog is displayed when a Print Job finishes executing. This can be used to inform the user that the output has been sent to the printer.
Confirm Large Print Jobs
Allows you to specify whether a Confirmation Dialog is to be displayed when you submit a Print Job which will generate more than 10 pages. This is intended to protect you from inadvertantly generating many pages of unwanted output while using the Demo.
