Output
One of:
l By default, aPDFfile accompanied with basic PDFmetadata. The Metadata contains
one "Document" level, and one data page (and page)level for each PDFpage generated
by the document. When Mail Merge is not selected, this is the only available choice.
Technical
In current versions, the Objectif Lune Printer Driver will naturally add a margin to the
PDF generated by this task. While this will be fixed in future versions, if your PDFis
full bleed you will not get the desired results using this option.
l A DOC(Word Document)file which is the result of the mail merge. This output is only
available when doing a mail merge.
Properties
General tab

connection string and SQL statements stored in the DOC file. There is no guarantee
that the database, connection string or statement are still valid, especially if the
DOC file was moved or sent to someone else.
l Use custom settings: Override the mail merge settings in the Microsoft® Word®
document and lets you specify your own.
l Connection String: The connection string to any ODBCdatabase supported by
PlanetPress Workflow. You can use the Browse button to open an existing File
