Document to PDFaction task is run. This printer cannot be shared on the network in
order to avoid confusion from network users, however it is shared between all Microsoft®
Word® Document to PDFaction tasks on the same system.
l While debugging this task, the printer shows the message that the document can not be
printed. This message is normal and will not appear when running a live configuration.
l If using a Microsoft® database such as Access® or Excel®, each software must be
installed in the same version. For example, using Microsoft® Word® 2007 with a
Microsoft® Access® 2003 database will cause the task to fail.
l If the database path is specified in the Microsoft® Word® document, the mail merge has
to be performed with the settings specified in the document, otherwise the database path
provided in the task is ignored and can cause different conflicts. To use custom settings,
the Microsoft® Word® document should contain only mail merge fields with no database
path entered. The Microsoft® Word® to PDF action task allows specifying the path of the
database and the query to use. The Use custom settings option is very usefully for using
different databases and queries in a single process.
l If the database is the same for 2 processes, one of two processes aborts. Each process
has to use different databases, or no more than one process with a Microsoft® Word® to
PDF task.
Output to Capture OnTheGo
The Output to Capture OnTheGo task sends document information to the Capture OnTheGo
online repository. These documents can then be retrieved by the Capture OnTheGo mobile
application.
This task can be added as an Action task (see "Action Tasks" on page254) or as an Output
task. Adding it as an Action task enables the process or branch to continue after this task. An
Output task is always located at the end of a process or branch.
Input
This task ignores the input data file and any metadata it unless data selections are used in the
variable data fields.
Processing
This task does not process the data or metadata file. The information entered in the Deposit tab
of this task is sent to the repository configured in the Repository tab.
