Project Wizard: Print Promotional Jobs
The Print Promotional Jobs Project Wizard creates a simple, yet complete OL Connect project
that produces promotional print output.
The project extracts data from an XML file and uses that data to personalize a promotional
letter. The output is a single file containing all the letters, in the format that was selected in the
wizard (PDF, PCL or PostScript Level 3).
For an introduction to this Project Wizard, see Project Wizards overview video on the OL Learn
website (start at 0:52) or on Youtube: Print Promotional Jobs.
Installing the project
Select File > New > Project Wizards > Print Promotional Jobs from the menu to start the
Print Promotional Jobs Project Wizard. (See also: "Promotional Print Jobs - Project Wizard" on

The wizard lets you select the folder in which you want the solution to be installed.
In the selected folder, the Project Wizard will create two subfolders: Configurations and
Workspace.
The project's resource files are saved to the Configurations folder.
The Workspace folder is used for debugging or running the solution. It has an In folder that
may be used to monitor incoming data and an Out folder to write output files to.
The selected folder's path is saved to a global variable in the Workflow configuration (see
"Workflow configuration" on page158).
That variable is used in the settings of the Capture Folder and Send to Folder tasks.
Next, you have to select the desired output type: PDF, PCL or PostScript Level 3. Each of the
output types is available in two variants. The 'Stationery' variants will include the virtual
