Documents action task will replace the value of this metadata field with the corresponding
customer email.
Use Case 2: Translate a list of line items descriptions into a given language
A PlanetPress Design documenttakes as input a transactional PDF file, and reproduces it
exactly as it enters. Metadata fields called ItemDesc are created, one for each line item
description, at the datapage level. Each ItemDesc metadata field is given the value of a line
item description as found on a region of the current data page. The line item descriptions
appearing on the resulting page produced by the design tool are custom data selections whose
valuecome fromthe correspondingItemDescmetadata fields. The Lookup in Microsoft®
Excel® Documents action task updates the value of all 'ItemDesc' metadata fields with their
corresponding foreign language descriptions.
Microsoft® Word® Documents To PDF Conversion
The Microsoft® Word® to PDFaction task can be used to convert a Word® document into a
PDFfile that can be used in your PlanetPress Workflow process. It can also do a Mail Merge as
it runs the task.
Note
Microsoft® Word® needs to be installed for this task to be functional and to test the
connection.
Input
Acompatible MicrosoftWord Document (see notes).
Processing
The Word document is converted into a PDFfile. If a Mail Merge is made, the mail merge is
done in the document before the document is converted into a PDFfile. The conversion is done
through the use of a printer queue - the document is printed to this queue and the print job is
converted to PDF. This is the same technique used in the "WinQueue Input" on page251 when
generating PDFfiles.
