In version 2.0 we added printing of tracking layouts. Separation/color conversion/or other advanced print options are not supported and are ignored when printing tracking layouts.

Additional print options

To print tracking layouts, we added the following print preset options:

TracyLayout: a Boolean value, if true the pages are printed in tracking layout mode.

TracyEdPages: a short value, total number of pages to save as PDF (double pages count as 1) (from layout options dialog).

TracyLayoutColumns: short value, number of tracking layout columns.

TracyHorizontalSheets number of horizontal pages to show the tracking layout (vertical sheets are automatically calculated)

TracyPageBoardW long value (mpt): width of a single pasteboard of the tracking layout

TracyPageBoardH long value (mpt): height of a single pasteboard of the tracking layout

TracyFontSize long value (mpt): size of font to display the page caption

TracyGridHor long value (mpt): horizontal offset

TracyGridVert long value (mpt): vertical offset

Into layout options dialog there is a new tab for define these options.

Server printing of tracking layouts

You can print tracking layouts directly by server using edo.ashx and the ServerPrint command, with the new option TracyOpt:

http://server/GN4/int/edo.ashx?cmd=ServerPrint&Ids=5077,5078&id=5905&TracyOpt=6,4,100000,200000,10000,50000,60000,3

TracyOpt (optional value) is defined as series of values in the following order:

number of columns;

number of pages used for print the horizontal layout;

single page pasteboard width (mpt) of tracy layout;

single page pasteboard height (mpt) of tracy layout;

font size of page label(mpt);

background grid size (X axis, mpt);

background grid size (Y axis, mpt);

page content mode (full (0) or layout (3));

if TracyOpt is not specified, the ServerPrint works in the classic mode.
