l
Filename : Enter the name of the output files generated by this task. To prevent each new
file from overwriting the previous one, you should use variable names. As with any
variable property box, you can use any combination of text, variables and data selections.
When multiple files are generated for a single job (such as for multiple TIFFs), each file
name includes a sequence number, such as in Invoice0, Invoice1, Invoice2. If you use file
name masks that include dots, such as Statement.%y.@(1,1,1,1,25,KeepCase,Trim) or
Job.%f, for example, you must add quotation marks at the beginning and end of the file
name (“Statement.%y.%m.@(1,1,1,1,25,KeepCase,Trim)” or ”Job.%f”). Otherwise, when
the file is saved, anything appearing after the last dot is replaced by the file’s extension
characters (and the file name thus becomes Statement.2005.pdf instead of
Statement.2005.255842.pdf, or Job.tif instead of Job.544872.tif). Failing to add the
quotation marks may result in files being overwritten.
l
Automatically Add Extension:Check if you want the correct extension for the image
type to be appended to the file name automatically, rather than having to add it in the
Filename box. The Output Type determines the extension to be used.
l
Index group: This group lets you specify which type of index must be created for each
document generated by this task. PDIfiles are used by PlanetPress Search as indexing
information.
l
None: Select if you do not want this task to add an index file to the generated
document.
l
PDI: Select if you want this task to add a PDI index file to the generated document.
l
XML and PDI: Select if you want this task to add both an XML and a PDI index file
to the generated document.
l
Use Title as FormName for PDF/VT document: Check to use the Title (defined on the
Job Options tab) as the PDF's FormName in the PDI, instead of the incoming PDF/VT
document's dc.title meta data tag. If the Title is empty, a warning is logged and the
FormName is not changed.
Job Options tab
If you chose PDF as the output type in the General tab, use this tab to choose the appropriate
PDF options. Note that all the options available in this tab are only used with PDF files.
l
Job options: Select the PDF output option that best describes your needs. This loads all
the standard settings for the selected usage scenario. These settings can be changed as
required. Note that if you make changes and then select a different output option, your
changes will be lost. PlanetPress Image supports numerous PDF standards: Standard,
High Quality, Custom, and a variety of PDF/VT, PDF/A and PDF/X formats.
