The following lists show the available Document Output options and the applicable Document formats to which they apply.
Output format: Published output can be in Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat PDF format or HTML Web Page.
If you choose Adobe PDF format, the document is published to Word first and then converted to PDF. If you choose HTML Web Page format, the document is published to Word and then saved as a web page using the Web Page, Filtered option in Word. This creates a single HTML file, but all of the graphics are separate, linked files.
Applicable formats: System Process, Job Aid, Training Guide, Instructor Manual, Test Document, Test Results
Include screenshots: Screenshots are included in a document based on the settings for the topic in the Topic Editor. This option allows you to override those settings and choose to include one screenshot per topic, one screenshot for each frame, or no screenshots.
Applicable formats: System Process, Job Aid, Training Guide, Instructor Manual, Test Document, Test Results
Convert screenshots to 256 colors: Reduces the number of colors used in the screenshots, which therefore reduces the size of the published topics and improves the playback speed.
Applicable formats: System Process, Job Aid, Training Guide, Instructor Manual, Test Document, Test Results, Presentation
Paper size: The paper size is set based on the Location setting in the Regional & Language options for your operating system locale. You can override this setting by choosing a different paper size. If you customize the print template to have a special paper size (for example, to print Job Aids on smaller cards), choose the option to use the print template setting; otherwise, it gets overridden during publishing.

Web page format: Specify the formatting source for published web pages. Select Developer Settings to use the styles and direct formatting applied to the Developer web pages or Word Template settings to use the formatting specified in the print template.

Use encoded folder and file names: Publishes the content using the document GUID instead of actual module, section, and topic names. Encoding shortens path names and prevents the possibility of duplicate file name in the published output. This option makes it more difficult to identify the source based on the file name.
