On Error Tab
For a description of the options on the On Error tab see "Using the On Error tab" on page57.
Comments Tab
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a text area (Task comments)that lets
you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with
the OKbutton, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
Create PDF/VT
The Create PDF/VT, similar to the Create PDF task, creates PDF/VTfiles from a PlanetPress
Suite Document (created with PlanetPress Design). This PDF/VTis compatible with the Create
Print Content directly without the use of a Connect Template (PDF/VTmode).
Input
Any data file supported by the selected PlanetPress Document.
Processing
The input data file is merged with the selected PlanetPress Document.
Output
The output is a PDF/VT with default quality settings. The metadata embedded within the
PDF/VTis the one generated by the PlanetPress Document.
Properties
The Create PDF/VT action task properties are as follows (note that the Connect Proxytab is
not present as this task does not communicate with the OLConnect Server module):
