Page Display properties

This section gives information about the Page Display properties tab, the function of the different flags and how they can be changed. Please note, we are constantly adding new functionality to the properties file and therefore the documentation contained here is for version 4.3 of JPedal. If a flag is not present in your properties file then the functionality is not available for your version.

The above image shows the preferences Page Display tab and the available options on this tab.
