are reduced to grayscale if you select 8-bit here), while 24-bits produce full color images. For JPEG output,
you cannot select a monochrome (1 bpp) color depth. For TIFF G3 and TIFF G4, monochrome (1 bpp) is the
only Color depth option you can select. This property is enabled for all output types except PDF.
Multi-page: Select to generate a single file containing multiple pages. When this option is not selected,
PlanetPress Image creates a file for each page included in the output file. This property is enabled for all
output types except PDF and JPEG.
Add page number: Select to put a page number on each page included in the output file. This option goes with
the Multiple TIFF option and is only visible if either the AutoStore, DocAccel or KYOcapture format is selected.
Archive output: Select to archive generated files. If you select this option, you must enter a folder path in
the Archive folder box and a name in the File name box.
Send Email: Select to send the generated file via email. You enter the emailing properties in the Login,
Recipients, and Attachment(s) tabs. Note that the generated file will only be sent if you select the Attach
output file(s) option in the Attachment(s) tab.
Archive folder: Enter the path of the folder to which output files generated by this task are to be archived.
PDF index files (PDI and XML) are also put in this folder. This edit box is enabled when the Archive output
option is selected.
File name: Enter the name of the output files generated by this task. To prevent each new file from
overwriting the previous one, you should use variable names. As with any variable property box, you can use
any combination of text, variables and data selections. When multiple files are generated for a single job (such
as for multiple TIFFs), each file name includes a sequence number, such as in Invoice0, Invoice1, Invoice2. If
you use file name masks that include dots, such as Statement.%y.@(1,1,1,1,25,KeepCase,Trim) or Job.%f,
for example, you must add quotation marks at the beginning and end of the file name
(“Statement.%y.%m.@(1,1,1,1,25,KeepCase,Trim)” or ”Job.%f”). Otherwise, when the file is saved, anything
appearing after the last dot is replaced by the file’s extension characters (and the file name thus becomes
Statement.2005.pdf instead of Statement.2005.255842.pdf, or Job.tif instead of Job.544872.tif). Failing to
add the quotation marks may result in files being overwritten.
Index group
This group lets you specify which type of index must be created for each document generated by this task.
None: Select if you do not want this task to add an index file to the generated document.
PDI: Select if you want this task to add a PDI index file to the generated document.
XML and PDI: Select if you want this task to add both an XML and a PDI index file to the generated
document.
PDF tab
If you chose PDF as the output type in the General tab, use this tab to choose the appropriate PDF options.
Note that all the options available in this tab are only used with PDF files.
Job options: Select the PDF output option that best describes your needs. This loads all the standard settings
for the selected usage scenario. These settings can be changed as required. Note that if you make changes
and then select a different output option, your changes will be lost. PlanetPress Image supports numerous PDF
standards: Standard, High Quality, Custom, and a variety of PDF/A and PDF/X formats.
General group
ASCII format: Select to create the PDF file using ASCII characters (instead of the usual 8-bit binary format).
This option produces a file suitable for transmission over a 7-bit ASCII link. This option is useful if the PDFs
need to be opened in a text editor, sent across networks, or sent via email using a program that does not
support binary files. This option also generates smaller files.
Compress text and line art: Select to compress the text and line work in the file using the Flate compression
filter. Flate is a compression method that works well on elements with large areas of single colors or repeating
patterns, as well as on black-and-white elements that contain repeating patterns.
Auto-rotate pages: Select to automatically rotate pages based on the orientation of the text or DSC
comments.
Optimize for fast web view: Select to minimize file size and facilitate page downloading.
Title: Enter a title for the document. If you leave this box empty, the document’s name will be used as the
document’s title. Since this is a variable property box, you may use variables and data selections and let
PlanetPress Watch/Server interpret this information at runtime.
Author: You may enter the name of the author of the document. Since this is a variable property box, you
may use variables and data selections and let PlanetPress Watch/Server interpret this information at runtime.
