Upload Drop Zone
----------------

The :ref:`Upload Dialog <ch-webapp-user-main-upload-dialog>` and thumbnail
area of the :ref:`main view <ch-webapp-user-main>` can act as
|RST_LINK_WEBPRINT| *Drop Zone*. You can (multiple) select files in 
any desktop application and drag & drop them into the zone, 
after which they are immediately uploaded. When files are
dragged into the zone, it lights up with a green border.

A Drag & Drop of an URL of a Web Page or Document has the same effect.
In that case Web Page or Document is server-side downloaded and rendered
as PDF. See :ref:`Server-side Download <ch-install-on-linux-config-server-side-download>`
properties.

The Drop Zone can be enabled at |RST_LINK_WEBPRINT|.

.. note::

   For plain text files dropped in the Main Drop Zone, the selected font
   in the Upload Dialog is used.

.. note::

   A Web Page can be rendered by a Drag & Drop of its URL, but the
   result might not be accurate.
