Context Menu - Conversion Preview

A context menu is available when right-clicking Conversion Preview window in any of the non Text Selection mode.

Right-clicking the preview first selects the clicked element, and then displays the appropriate context menu. If no layout element (table cell or field) has data where the user has right-clicked, no context menu will appear.

Column(s) Selected	Row(s) or Cell(s) Selected1	Field(s) Selected

Edit Table Title

Sets the name of the currently selected table (i.e., the table in which a column, row or cell is selected), by displaying the Edit Table Title dialog. Only available when at least one element of a table is selected.
Note that you can set the name to be empty, in which case PDF2XL CLI will assign a name to the table.
The table title will be displayed above the table on an orange background.

Delete Table

Deletes the table from the page layout. Only available when a column, row or cell is selected.

Column/Field Format

This sub-menu allows setting of the currently selected column(s) or fields(s) format.

Edit Column/Field Header

Sets the heading of the currently selected column or field, by displaying the Set Column Heading dialog. Only available when there's a single column or field selected.

Append to Table

This command (or sub-menu) allows appending the table's output to other tables, or to set it back to converting alone. This is done by changing the table's name, as tables with the same name are converted together.
If the current layout has more then one table, this command allows adding the currently selected table to another.
The command's text and usage will change slightly according to the selected table:

• If there's only one other table in the output, the text will be 'Append to Table "Name"' where "Name" is the other table's name
• If there's more then one other table in the output, the text will be 'Append to Table' and a list of the tables will be available in a sub-menu
  If the table is appended to others, an additional command, 'Do not append this table', will be added; clicking it will reset the table's name
• If all the tables are added together in the output, the 'Do not append this table' command will appear instead of the 'Append to Table' command

Selecting the name of a table to append the currently selected table to will change the name of the currently selected table. If the table selected in the menu does not have a name, the user will be prompted to provide one.
Selected the 'Do not append this table' command will remove the selected table's name.

Convert Table

Converts the currently selected table into the current conversion format immediately. Only available if any part of a table is currently selected (at least one column, row or cell).

Delete Field

Deletes the field(s) from the page layout. Only available when one or more fields are selected.

In Conversion, Show Field

Displays a sub-menu of field conversion settings:

Selecting one of the options will set the conversion settings for the selected fields; more information about field conversions can be found in the Fields Conversion help entry.
