There must be some fields defined in order to export XML, since only the contents of fields found on each page will be exported. See Defining fields and tags.
| 1. | Choose Export... from the 'File' menu or press Ctrl E keys. |
| 3. | To avoid a new file overwriting an existing file with the same name, tick Do not overwrite files. See Overwriting files. |
| 4. | Choose XML data fields as the 'Format'. To set further options click XML field options...: see Outputting to XML. |
| o | A default file name (with extension .XML) is provided. To create a different filename or extension, type in the new name or use wild-cards. To select a different folder to store the file, use the Browse... button. Or |
| o | Check the LPR box; the filename will be supplied automatically. |
| 6. | Choose whether to Run the associated program after creating the file or not. See also Associated programs. |
| 7. | You may choose to export: |
| o | all the data fields defined in the job: click All defined fields, or |
| o | only some of the data fields: |
| • | To set up a new selection of fields, click Select... to display the 'Field Definitions' window. Right click on a field name in the Fields list and choose Select for Export. Repeat for other fields you wish to export; you may select Unselect for export if you decide not to export a selected field. Click OK to return to the 'Export' window; the Selected fields only option is selected automatically. |
| • | To export an existing selection of fields, choose Selected fields only option. |
| 8. | Further options may be set up on the Log File page of the Configuration dialog: click Log file.... |
| 9. | Click OK to export the fields. |
|
If you are exporting to an image or other format, the fields can be extracted simultaneously into XML. In this case the file is not given the extension XML, but a .LOG file is created instead.
