Output To: Settings

When you print to Miraplacid Text Driver, Preview window pops up. If you click on "Settings" button on the Preview Window toolbar, Settings dialog will open. Settings dialog has several tabs discussed here. This document describes Output Settings.
Miraplacid Text Driver can do multiple things with extracted text. Moreover, it can do they all at the same time. It can save text to a hard drive, upload it to a server, copy to Windows Clipboard, send by Email, and print to a real printer.
Check output options you need and specify Output Settings on the right.

1. File Plug-in is the most important one. It saves output data to disk.

File plug-in has following parameters:

• Output path - where output file will be saved. Output Path supports special tags
• File Name - output file name. File Name supports special tags. They will be replaced with appropriate values
• Append - If output file exists, append extracted text to the end of file. If you uncheck the box, file will be overwrited.
• OpenWith - You can open result text with some application, let's say, with text viewer, or process them with post-processor. To open every individual page with some software, check "Open with" checkbox.
• Application - Full path to the "Open With" application unless application pash is included to system PATH. For example, "Notepad" will open result text file in Notepad. Supports special tags.
  To start the postprocessor for each page just add {{PAGE}} to output filename. Each page will be saved to individual file. Postprocessor will be called for each file. If all the pages are saved to a single file, postprocessor will be called once per document.
• Parameters - Parameters for the "Open With" application. Supports special tags.
• Hide Window - Hide "Open With" application window

1. Clipboard - copy output text to clipboard.

Clipboard settings are simple. They only included "OpenWith" settings explained above (see Output To: File). The difference between File and Clipboard output style is Clipboard post-processor shall get processed text from clipboard rather than from file. Passing text through clipboard is mode secure because text is not get saved to disk.

1. FTP plug-in sends text file to FTP server.
   
   
2. FTP plug-in has following settings:
   
   • URL - URL to the resource; should contain server name and optional folder, without filename.
     Example: ftp://www.yourcompany.com/publications. Supports special tags.
   • File name - filename for the saved file. It may contain special tags to be expanded.
   • Passive mode checkbox. Check it if your PC is behind a firewall.
   • User name and Password - login to your server. If not specified, plug-in will try to connect as anonimous.
