About Embedding DWF Files

    Putting a DWF file in any program that uses ActiveX controls, such as Buzzsaw, is referred to as embedding a DWF file.

    When the embedded DWF file is active, the default DWF viewing program limits the amount of Design Review application window that is shown. Typically in embedded situations, the Design Review ribbon only shows the tab names. Clicking a tab name temporarily opens the ribbon so you can access the appropriate tools. Since embedded mode does not show the Quick Access toolbar, the tools typically found on the Quick Access toolbar are shown on the File panel on the Home tab.

    TipTo save a copy of an embedded DWF file, right-click and select Save As.

    Limitations of Embedded DWF Files

    Some Design Review features are not available in embedded DWF files.

    • You cannot add a digital signature.
    • You cannot create a New file.
    • You cannot access plug-ins.
    • You cannot manage workspaces.

    To access these capabilities, open the embedded file in Design Review.
