Choose 5 in the Pages or records box and “Records after” in this box, for example, to split the file 5 records after
the record that matches the condition.

only every other time, or every third time. If so, enter the number of times in this box.
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.
PDF Splitter
PDF Splitter action tasks are used to split emulated PDF data files into multiple data files that are passed to subsequent tasks in
the process.
This feature is part of the PDFTools, which is only available in PlanetPress Office and PlanetPress Production. It is not
available with a PlanetPress Watch license.
Input
A PDF Emulation data file.
Processing
The file is separated into multiple chunks according to the rules set in the task's properties.
Output
Multiple data files, sent one after the other to the rest of the tasks in the process. Metadata, job infos and user variables are
not modified by this task.
PDF Splitter action task properties are as follows:
General Tab
l Split on page group: Select to split the data file based on pages (rather than on a word found within the PDF data)
and to activate the option from this group, which is used to tailor exactly how you want the page based splitting process
to take place.
l Page(s) per output: Enter the number of pages to include in the file generated by the splitter in this edit box
below or use the spin buttons.
Split PDF file on a word group: Select to split the data file whenever a given region is found within the PDF data file
(rather than on based on pages), or whenever the regoin found at a given location changes, and to activate the options
from this group, which are used to tailor exactly how you want the region based splitting process to take place.
l On region content change: Select if you want the data file to be split when the word found at a given loca-
tion changes.
l Get: Click to go to the Data Selector and select the location associated with the On region change option.
