Processing
If a data file and document are selected, the metadata is generated by merging the data file and
document and retrieving only the metadata generated by this merge. The Metadata levels will
reflect those defined in the document, including separation for Group and Document, metadata
fields, etc.
l In PDF emulation, the size and orientation attributes for each page are set in the
metadata. In all other emulations, those attributes remain blank.
l In XML emulation, the metadata file is always created as if the user had specified the
"Second Level" parameter in PlanetPress Design.
If the "Do not use document (passthrough)"option is used, no PlanetPress Design document is
used. The metadata will contain a single Job, Group and Document level, as many data page
levels as there are records (pages in a PDF, XMLlevels, etc)in the file, and one page level per
data page.
Technical
In PlanetPress Design, this step is equivalent to a &metamode variable value of 1.
Output
The original data file is output, along with the newly generated metadata file. Job infos are not
changed.
Properties
