Export a Source File to a Destination File as a Rendition

You can export a source file to a destination file with Export Published Output.

Using the Export Published Output function, you can specify and export a source file to a destination file (publish a rendition), with certain limitations. The source must be a PDF file, and the destination file cannot be a PDF (since that would be a rendition of itself). If the destination file is a virtual document, the root must already have content.

To export a source file to a destination file as a rendition:
  1. On the root node of the assembly, right-click and select Export Published Output.
  2. In the Export Published Output window, browse to select a PDF file for the Source Location.
  3. For the Destination Location, browse to select either a non-PDF file or a Virtual Document (VDM).
    The options for Output Document Type, Status of Documents, and DMS Versioning Scheme are applicable only when exporting folders. They do not apply to exported files.
  4. To export the selected file to the specified destination, click OK.
    If the source file and the destination file have the same name, the source file overwrites the destination file without notice.
