Download original lets you download the source file that was uploaded to create the version of a proof. To export a file with comments, see Export proof report or PDF with comments.

Ziflow gives you the file that was uploaded to create the version of the proof. It’s not altered by Ziflow, meaning:

• No markup, comments, or version overlays are included.
• File quality, resolution, and metadata remain as they were when uploaded.

Ziflow administrators must enable Allow download of the original file to give proof creators this option. See Configure default proof  settings.
