Creating a Global Change

Creating a new Global Change from scratch is not possible. You can only start from an existing Global Change and save it locally. This is useful if you want to keep different versions of one Global Change (e.g. for scaling to different formats) which will be saved in the Local folder. Otherwise, you can simply edit the Global Change and save it in the Standard folder. See Editing a Global Change.

To create a Global Change

Open the Global Changes dialog.

Refer to Where to find Global Changes.
Click > New and select the appropriate option:
- If you want to start from a Global Change (*.egc) on your local system, select New From File. Follow the instructions to select the file.
- If you want to start from a Global Change listed in the Global Changes dialog, select New From. Follow the instructions to select the file.
- If you want to start from an already selected Global Change in the Global Changes dialog, select New From Selected.
The new Global Change will be saved in the Local category. It's opened automatically.
In the Enfocus Global Change dialog, select the required options and specify the settings of the Global Change.
As soon as you have made a change, the Run button changes into Save and Run.
Do one of the following:
- To only save your changes, click Save. You can run the Global Change afterwards. Refer to Running a Global Change.
- To save your changes and run the Global Change immediately on the document that is currently opened, click Save and Run.
  Note: Make sure that you have configured the options in the lower part of the Global Changes dialog! Refer to Running a Global Change.
The new Global Change is available for re-use in the Local folder.
Tip: Use the context menu to rename the Global Change. Choose a meaningful name for your Global Change, for example, rename "Scale to Format" (= the default name) to "Scale to US Letter".
