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 the PDFRIP.
l Optimized PostScript Stream: Select to merge the selected document with the data received by this task
before sending it to the PDFRIP. Note that some features, such as the Time and Date PlanetPress Talk func-
tions, 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.
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: The metadata is updated to included only the selected nodes from the
current metadata, and sequential indexes are re-created.
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.
