Viewing a Form / Check with Conditions Applied

Hi Gary,

The new Formtastic 5.2.1 has just what you’re looking for. Once you’ve upgraded to v. 5.2.1:

  1. Open the document in the Document Editor.
  2. Select File, then select Print Preview.
  3. You'll notice a new toolbar at the top. The default view is to have the conditions applied (which is what you want).
  4. Use the toolbar to select the Copy Number and Spool Page you want to preview with all the conditioning applied. It's that easy! This will save you quite a bit of time by not having to print the merged documents to check the conditions.
Here is how the preview looks:


The preview will render the correct page numbers, spool images, and spool barcodes (if there are SIMAGE/SBAR commands, respectively). Note: form within a form via the FORM command is not displayed – you’ll see the form placeholder as previous. Get in touch if you need any more help.

Take care,
Ken Glansberg
