Use VDX as new data stream: Select to pass the VDX document generated by this task to the following

task.

Use original data stream (with no document): Select to pass only the data received by this task to the

following task. The VDX document generated by this task is therefore only saved to the archive folder (see

below).

Use job file, trigger (with document): Select to pass the data received by this task along with the selected

VDX compliant document and the corresponding trigger to the following task. These can then be sent to a

PostScript printer where the document will be executed and merged with the data. The VDX document

generated by this task is therefore only saved to the archive folder (see below).

Filename: Enter the name under which you want to save the VDX document generated by this task. Note

that this box cannot be used if the VDX is used as the new data stream, but that it must otherwise be used.

Not using the VDX as the new data stream and not providing a name under which to store it will result in a

failed 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. Note that

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.vdx instead of Statement.2005.255842.vdx, or Job.vdx instead of Job.544872.vdx). Failing to

add the quotation marks may result in files being overwritten.
