- Index
l Occurrence related: Select to indicate that the search string must be found a specific number of times before
a string replacement is performed. If the Search line by line option is selected in the Search mode group, the
search counter is reset for every line. If the Search whole file option is selected in the Search mode group, the
search counter is not reset before the end of the file. Select one of the occurrence options (described below) in
the list box below and enter a value in the variable property box besides it.
l At occurrence: The replacement will take place only when the specified number of occurrences has
been reached. Specifying 2 occurrences, for instance, means that only the second occurrence will be
replaced.
l At every specified occurrence: The replacement will take place every time the specified number of
occurrences is reached. Specifying 2 occurrences, for instance, means that the second, the fourth and
the sixth (and so on) occurrence will be replaced.
l All after occurrence: All occurrences of the search string will be replaced once the specified number
of occurrences has been reached. Specifying 2 occurrences, for instance, means that all occurrences
after the second one will be replaced.
l All before occurrence: All occurrences of the search string will be replaced until the specified number
of occurrences has been reached. Specifying 5 occurrences, for instance, means that the four first occur-
rences will be replaced.
l Replace with: Enter the string that must be used as the replacement sting when a match is found.
On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on "Task Properties Dialog" (page 51).
Create PDF Action Task Properties
The Create PDF Action task allows users running either PlanetPress Office or PlanetPress Production to create native PDF out-
puts without an active PlanetPress Imaging license. It very similar to the Digital Action task (see "Digital Action Task Prop-
erties" (page 111)) but is more limited. It does not contain the advanced PDFoptions that are offered by the PlanetPress
Imaging solution, but is useful for creating simple PDFfiles using the default quality.
PDFs created with the new Create PDF Action task will effectively replace the current data file in any given process using such
a task.
General tab
l Documents: Select a specific PlanetPress Design document if you want all the jobs to be generated with that doc-
ument. The None option is available to create or update a PDF without using a PlanetPress Design document, in a Meta-
data-based workflow.
l Run mode group
l Printer centric: Select to send the document along with the trigger and data to PlanetPress Image.
l Optimized PostScript Stream: Select to merge the selected document with the data received by this task
before sending it to PlanetPress Image. Note that some features, such as the Time and Date PlanetPress Talk
functions, require that this option be selected.
l Add job information to the document: Select to add the available job info variables in the “header” of the gen-
erated output file.
On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on "Task Properties Dialog" (page 51).
Other Notes
Here's a list of the hard-coded PDF values for files generated with this new plugin. Basically, these settings correspond to Dig-
ital Action and PlanetPress Image settings for Standard Quality:
