Creating archives
Create an archive file of all related artifacts in your
template so that a complete set of files can be emailed to another
user or stored in other locations. By creating an archive, you do
not have to manage or send multiple files for someone else to view
the files or generate documents.
About this task
Procedure
Results
When you export from the Document Studio application, the
current document specification, its templates, and any style sheets
the outputs use are saved in an archive file in the location you specified.
If the same names are used for multiple files, unique names are generated.
- If you generated the output by publishing the document, the document specification included in the archive contains any changes that you made in the Configure and Generate Document wizard.
- If you did not create a document specification file by publishing the template, a document specification is created for you, it is named docSpec.dsx, the template is specified in it, and both the document specification and the template are saved in the archive.
- If you did not save a new template before exporting, the template file is not included in the archive.
When you export from the Launcher application, the opened
document specification and the specified templates are saved in an
archive file in the location you specified.
- If you did not specify a template in the document specification, only the document specification file is saved in the archive. A blank template file is not created for you and saved in the archive.
- If the included files are dynamically referenced, these files are included in the archive, too, even though they are not visible from the document specification.
