Add a document - Advanced Options

Learn how to add documents with additional customisation options.

Advanced Options

You can see advanced options by clicking to expand the section.

Name 

You can give your mailing a name to identify it if you have not done so previously. Or if you did give your mailing a name at the start, you can edit it here. 

Description 

You can enter the description of a mailing to help you to identify it if you have not done so previously. Again, if you did do so previously, you can edit it here.

Address panel font 

You can choose a font from the drop down list and Docmail will use this to print the name and address. 

Can this document begin on the back of another document? (A4 only)

The cheapest option is to allow Docmail to print on both sides of the paper (duplex printing). If a mailing contains more than one document and duplex is selected, Docmail will print all the documents ‘back-to-back’. 

For example, if document 1 that you’ve uploaded is only one side long, then document 2 starts printing on the back of document 1. 

If you want to use a document in a mailing with other documents and use duplex printing tick the ‘Can this begin on the back of another document?’ option to allow back-to-back printing. 

However, you might want to start on a new sheet of paper, for example for a reply form. 

If you always want this document to start on a new sheet of paper, then DO NOT tick this box. 

Remember, this option is only relevant if you are uploading several documents to your order, or using a mail pack. 

Can another document begin on the back of this document? (A4 only) 

Similar to the above; if you are happy for all documents you’ve uploaded to be printed back-to-back then tick this box on every document. 

However, if you do not want another document to start on the back of this document then DO NOT tick this box. 

Password Protected areas (all document types except backgrounds) 

If any part of the document(s) selected are password protected you can enter the password here so that the file can be uploaded successfully to Docmail, without you having to remove the password before uploading. 

Encryption password (all document types) 

If all the documents that you have selected to upload are encrypted you can enter the password here so that the file can be uploaded successfully to Docmail, without you having to remove the password before uploading. When you have completed the fields that you want to use click ‘Add another’ to add another document, or ‘Next’ to move to the next screen.
