As you're using Pageflex Studio to create variable data documents you may encounter scenarios in which you wish to display items or objects on the web preview image but suppress the printing of that object on the production PDF generated by uDesignIT!. It's easy to accomplish such an outcome by using the following procedure.

Open your document in Pageflex Studio. First, identify objects you desire to NOT appear on the production PDF. For each item follow these steps:

  1. Select the object
  2. In the Properties panel (lower-right corner) locate the "Suppress Printing" option and set it to "Yes"

Then, open the job settings for the preview .jpg created by uDesignIT! and select the check box labeled "Print suppressed elements." You'll want to do this same thing for the optional proof PDF job as well.
