Customizing Target Settings
Based on your ePublisher implementation, after you create a project using Stationery, you can customize target settings for the targets available in your project if you have appropriate permissions. You can only customize target settings in a project if you have target setting modification permissions.
If you are using ePublisher Pro, you have target setting modification permissions. If you are using ePublisher Express, you may or may not have target setting modification permissions. When you install ePublisher Express, you must select the Allow users to modify Target Settings and Properties check box in order to have permissions to modify the target settings for the targets available in your project. If you do not select this check box during installation, you will not be able to customize target settings in projects. However, you can enable target setting modification permissions after you install ePublisher Express if needed. For more information, see “Enabling Target Setting Permissions After Installing ePublisher Express” on page 27.
If you have permissions to modify the target settings in projects, you can customize the following target settings for most output formats:
Note: If you are using ePublisher Express, any customizations you make to target settings will be overwritten the next time you synchronize your ePublisher Express project with Stationery. For more information, see “Synchronizing Projects with Stationery” on page 280.

After you make any customizations to the target settings for the targets available in your project, generate output so that you can review your changes and verify that the generated output displays and functions properly. You can generate output for all the source documents and groups in your project, or you can generate output for a single group or source document. For more information about generating output, see “Generating Output” on page 287.
