Notes & Tips

Saving a Table of Contents to a PDF File

Before saving to a PDF file, refer to the following notes:

To save an image to a PDF file, you must use the PDF edition of Prizm® Viewer.
To save an image with a table of contents:
- One or more of the original source pages already has a table of contents defined.
- You can choose to have a table of contents created from an available List File. Refer to Overview of List Files for more information.

When Internet Explorer is Running in Protected Mode on Windows Vista or Windows 7

If Internet Explorer is running in protected mode on Windows Vista or Windows 7 and you save a file(s), Internet Explorer will relocate the saved file(s) and display a warning dialog box: "For your computer's security, this file was saved to the Temporary Internet Files folder. Do you want to open this folder?" The file(s) will be saved to the Microsoft Windows Temporary Internet Files Virtualized folder. For example, if you save a file as C:\output.tif, the file will be saved to the location below:

C:\Users\%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Virtualized\C\output.tif

If you specify that a website is "trusted" in Internet Explorer, and protected mode is not enabled for trusted sites (which is the default setting), the warning dialog box will not display when you save files from that website, and the files will not be relocated.
