EDITING PDX FILES
-----------------------------
Aldus FreeHand 3.1 includes a HyperCard stack called PDX Editor, which you can use to edit the PDX files included with Aldus FreeHand 3.1. Because all Aldus products that include PPDs (Aldus FreeHand, PageMaker 4.2, and PrePrint) use this PDX Editor, it includes editing options that Aldus FreeHand does not use. You can customize PDX files for Aldus FreeHand in these ways:
• Add custom paper sizes.
• Adjust values to calibrate imagesetter output.
To use the PDX Editor:
1. Double-click the “PDX Editor” stack icon in the Utilities folder (located in the Aldus folder in the System folder).
2. Click “Open…,” and then open the PPDs folder (located in the Aldus folder in the System folder).
3. Double-click the name of the PDX file you want to edit.
4. Click “Paper sizes” or “Calibration,” and then modify the PDX file.
5. Click “Save” to save changes. Click “Quit” to exit the PDX Editor.
For more information on how to modify the “Paper size” settings or calibrate imagesetter output, click “Help” in the PDX Editor window. You can then read the information on the screen, or you can print it (by clicking “Print” in the PDX Editor window) and keep a copy with your documentation set.
If you modify a PDX file and want to restore the original file, just reinstall the original file from your installation disks.
