Print type

The predefined enumeration Print type (PrintType) defines output formats for Print documents, which affect the ribbon buttons in the export menu (sub category ‘Print’), among other things:

• The list can be customized.

• For the configuration of enumeration values, there is a separate configuration type ‘Print type settings’ (PrintTypeConfiguration) which contains some specific fields in addition to the ‘Icon URI’ (iconUri) field:

Uses for the 'Print type'

• With interactive access via ribbon buttons in the ‘Print’ sub-category (see also Available commands), the selection of the command determines the Print type, i.e. the output format that is to be generated.

• The localization of the enumeration value for the relevant Print type determines the labelling of the ribbon button.

  ►NOTE◄ An image/icon assigned in the 'Icon Uri' field does not appear in the ribbon button for the Print type, but does appear in Combobox elements for the Print type selection.

• To create Print documents via a profile call, the internal name (name) for the Print type must be specified in the ‘Print type’ parameter for the PrintPostExecutor.

  ►IMPORTANT◄ Not every Print type is supported by every Print document type. However, this compatibility with the output format is not a criterion for the selection of a print document by the Print document value resolver.

• To generate Print documents via a profile call, the internal name (name) for the Print type must be specified in the ‘Print type’ parameter for the PrintPostExecutor.

• To be able to assign Print documents to a client-side printer via the Print service, a Print type with the prefix REMOTE_ (e.g. REMOTE_PDF) may need to be added.

The following values and localizations are predefined by default:
