Saving PTPrint files. To save your PTPrint file go to the File Menu- Save. The file will save with
an CDL extension. By default imported graphic files will not be imbedded in your PTPrint file.
Instead they are linked. This means that PTPrint store a path to the graphic file instead of the actual
file. In order to maintain the integrity of the PTPrint file you can not move the location of the
imported graphic file. For this reason it is recommended that all graphic files imported into PTPrint
are stored in the same folder as the PTPrint file. Alternately, you may click choose Save Embedded
File... to embed the graphics within the CDL file.
Supported Formats . The following formats are supported via the print layout wizard: BMP, EPS ,
JPG, GIF, PCX, PNG, TIFF. Primera recommends EPS files for the best quality. If your image
is not in one of these formats, it can be easily converted to one of the supported formats using
graphics programs such as Adobe Photoshop ® , Illustrator ® or Corel Draw ®. See Section 5.5 for more
information.
