Home > Getting Started > Publish a Document
Publishing documents is ideal for information exchange with individuals who do not have an iGrafx application installed.
You can output an iGrafx document as a web page (HTML, Java applet, or SVG), a Word document (*.doc), a presentation (*.ppt), a PDF file, or a web project. Publish as Web Page is a one-shot, non-progressive task. Use the Publish Web Project feature for documents you update and publish frequently.
In all of the publishing dialog boxes, if you check or clear a parent diagram, all of its children are checked or cleared. You can override this by holding the Shift key when clicking an item.
See the following table for Publishing procedures. You may also email an iGrafx document to share it; the procedure to email a document is also given in the table below.

Publish as a web project |
On the Tools menu, choose Publish Web Project. After you have created your initial set of published files, you can make changes and then republish them. iGrafx remembers where you have stored both the source and published files. |
