Outputting documents

In the Android/iOS version, the commands listed below are locked. (To unlock the commands, see Welcome.)

This chapter provides information on how to output documents via TextMaker.

The chapter contains the following sections:

Print preview

The first section deals with the command File | Print preview. This displays the document on the screen exactly as it will appear on the printout, thus saving unnecessary test prints.

Printing a document

To actually print the current document on the printer, choose the command File | Print.

Printing a mail merge

Mail merges – documents that are to be sent to several addressees – can be printed with the command File | Print merge.

Exporting a document as a PDF file

You can also export a document to a PDF file by choosing the command File | PDF export.
PDF files can be viewed on virtually any computer, provided that a suitable PDF viewer is installed there. All formatting and objects of the document are retained exactly as in the original file.

Exporting a document as an EPUB file

Alternatively, you can export a document to an EPUB file by choosing the command File | EPUB export.
EPUB is an open standard for e-books (electronic books) and other electronic publications. The EPUB format can be read by most e-book readers. In addition, there are numerous viewer applications for PCs and mobile devices.

Sending a document by e-mail

Finally, documents can also be sent by e-mail. The command File | Send is responsible for this process.

Finalize document (remove personal data)

Choose the command File | Finalize if you want to remove personal data that is not intended for the public before sharing a document.
