Once the service has started, it captures every queued job.
PDF Creation Parameters
PDF files retrieved from a Windows print queue using Objectif Lune Printer Driver (PS)
have the following properties:
l PDF 1.4
l Optimized PDF (subject to change)
l No down-sampling of images
These settings are pre-configured and cannot be changed by the user.
About Metadata
Metadata files are files containing information on the job itself rather than containing the job per
se. A job sent to the Objectif Lune Printer Driver (PS) creates its own metadata, allowing users
to retrieve relevant information, such as, for instance, the time and date the print request was
sent. For more on this, see the Metadata documentation pages.
About Processes and Subprocesses
Processes
Aprocess is a single workflow within the configuration. Aprocess begins with a single input
task, contains one or more tasks and/or branches, and terminates with one or more output
tasks. In its simplest form, a process can simply retrieve data from a given folder and save it in a
different folder. In most cases, though, processes are more elaborate and configurations, which
may include many processes, can be extremely complex.
The available processes in your PlanetPress Workflow Configuration are listed in the
"Configuration Components pane" on page555. Processes in a configuration will always run
concurrently. You can schedule processes to run only at certain times or intervals (see "
Process properties" on page583).
There are three types of processes available to you:
