l Where to split: By default, the task splits the file at the beginning of the line on which the condition is met (the
default value is 0). If you want the task to split the file a certain number of lines before or after that line, enter a
value other than 0 in this box. Enter 1, for example, to split the file at the beginning of the line that precedes the
line on which the condition is met.
l Before: If you entered a value other than 0 in the Where to split box, select this option if you want to split the
file a given number of lines before the line on which the condition is met.
l After: If you entered a value other than 0 in the Where to split box, select this option if you want to split the file
a given number of lines after the line on which the condition is met.
l When condition is found: By default, the task splits the file every time the condition is met (the default
value is 1). If you want the task to split the file only when the condition has been met twice, for example, enter
the number 2 in this box.
l Split PDFfile based on Metadata group:
l Metadata Level: Determines on which level of the metadata the split occurs. This can be Group, Document to
Data page.
l Sequencing based on:
l The following number of occurrences of the level: Determine a sequence based on the number
of instances found for the metadata level currently processed. For example, if the Metadata level is set to
Group, and this value is set to 3, each sequence contains 3 groups (except, possibly, the last one, depend-
ing on the number of groups left in the last sequence). The next loop starts with the next group after this
sequence.
l Thefollowing number of sequences in the job:Divides the metadata into a set number of
sequences and equally distributes the number of levels between the sequences. For example, it the Meta-
data level is set to Document, and this value is set to 5, a 100 document job file will be divided into 5
sequences of 20 documents each.
l Thefollowing rule: Determine if a new sequence starts or if the current one ends. For each metadata
level, the current value of the specified metadata attribute/field is compared with the one in memory. If
they are different, either a new sequence starts or the current sequence is ended. The next sequence
starts with the next metadata level being processed. For details see the Rule Interface.
l Optimize resulting PDF: Select to specify whether the resulting PDF should be optimized. Optimization can lead to
a significant reduction in the size of the PDF, but it may also add a certain amount of time to the process. This option
should only be unchecked if the timing of the process is critical and needs to be done quickly, but keep in mind that the
resulting PDFmay be much larger than it should be and may even be too large for PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools to
handle.
l Reset Metadata according to new PDF: Metadata will be recreated according to the new PDFthat was created,
including page numbering, etc.
On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on Task Properties Dialog.
If storing the message or ID, if they are store in a jobinfo they will be available in any error handling process where errors are
being forwarded. In all cases, if your process continues after the error, the contents of the variables selected in this window
will be available for the rest of your process, or whenever they are overwritten.
Common Errors
Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and all tasks because they are
related more to the system than to PlanetPress itself. Some examples would be W3813, W3830, W3991, W4005. These cor-
respond to issues such as not having any space to write files, permission errors on folders or files, etc.
