Using Desktop Document Writer to Convert Documents to an IWB Document

You can create an IWB document directly from an external application.
This is very useful when you are viewing a web page in your browser application or you are viewing received e-mail messages in your e-mail application.
IMPORTANT
When you import a PDF document with Reader Extensions, the Reader Extensions function is deleted.
NOTE
In the operations described in this section, you need to select Desktop Document Writer as the output printer. Make sure that Desktop Document Writer is installed on your computer.
When you convert a PDF document or image document into an IWB document using Desktop Document Writer, the display may differ from when the document is directly imported with Desktop Editor.
One of the following must be selected in [System Settings] to use Desktop Document Writer to convert a document to an IWB document.
[Convert to an IWB document, and open with Editor]
[Select process when importing]
[File] menu > [Option] > [System Settings] > [Common Settings] > [Import] > [Select Process]
If [Convert to a PDF document, and save a PDF document in the library of iW Desktop] is selected in [System Settings], the document is saved in Desktop Browser without being imported to Desktop Editor. For more information, see the following.

When you configure the resolution of Desktop Document Writer to a low value, the image quality may deteriorate even though the file size is reduced. If there is a problem in the image quality, set the resolution setting higher.
If you import data that contains a large amount of drawing commands to Desktop Document Writer with a single operation, it may not be converted correctly. When this happens, divide the data when importing.
