Print settings
A Print context and Print sections can have their own print settings (see "Print settings in the
Print context and sections" on page463). The only print setting that the Print section has in this
template, is the Duplex setting. (Right-click the section and select Sheet Configuration. See
also: "Sheet Configuration dialog" on page1004.)
All other print settings are in the three Output Creation Presets. These are used by the Create
Output tasks in the Workflow process.
To see the exact settings, open an Output Creation Preset in the Designer: first select File >
Output Creation Presets from the menu; then click the Import button and browse to the
Configurations\Resources\Output presets folder to select the preset.
The three Output Creation Presets all create PDF output, add the template's name to the PDF's
meta data, and save the file in a certain directory. They all have the Print Virtual Stationery
option enabled. So, what are the differences between these presets?
Groups and separation
The PR_TRAN PDF Full Job preset outputs only one file.
The PR_TRAN PDF per Invoice preset outputs one file per invoice, separating the output by
document.
The PR_TRAN PDF per Customer preset outputs one file per customer, separating the output
by document set.
The last output preset needs the invoices in the job to be grouped in document sets first (by
customer number, in this case). That is what the Job Creation Preset does. This preset is used
by the Create Job task in the Workflow configuration.
Variable file names
The Job Creation Preset does something else, too: it attaches extra information - meta data - to
the documents and to the document sets. Both Output Creation Presets that produce multiple
files use that information in the output file names.
They do that by using a variable in the file output mask field. The variable refers to certain meta
data attached to items at a certain level (the document or document set, respectively). For more
information see "Print output variables" on page1458.
