  • Cannot preview



Cause

When PCL templates are previewed, the output will be a PCL file that is designed to be read by printers, and cannot be opened without processing to a printer.



Resolution

There are 2 ways to preview the Template:

  1. During forms processing via Enterprise ERP

    1. the preview on a print step will not work, this is the expected behavior due to Template being a PCL format.

    2. the preview on an archive, download or save step will work as the Template is set to the PDF format.

  2. On the Actual Template via Enterprise Forms Administration: How to preview the data file with a Enterprise Forms Template
