You can save the changed display of the original application file in the following formats:

  • Bitmap (24 bit color, 8 bit gray scale)

  • TIFF

Layer

Original application file

Layer name

When you start the viewer only the original application file is displayed – no layer is active.

The tab page Layer is not active if no layers exist yet for the original application file.

Only after you create a comment as a markup using Redlining functions and then saved them in one or more layers does the entry Layer appear and the layer names are listed.

  • You load the saved information by clicking on the selected layer. The currently loaded layer is indicated by a check mark. You can process this layer and save the changes.

  • Clicking again deactivates the layer.

  • If you have loaded more than one layer, and then added further comments, the comments are saved in the active layer. The system determines the active layer based on the sequence of the layer loaded. The layer that at the bottom of the list is active.
