plugin works on the data file. Caching the XML data will make subsequent tasks run
faster (as loading an XML file can take a long time) but will also use up more
memory since that memory isn't released in between tasks. For single runs the
performance gain is less noticeable than in loops (either through a splitter, a Loop
task or a metadata filter) where the XML file would be loaded repeatedly.

PDF. (Nothing to configure.)
On Error Tab
For a description of the options on the On Error tab see "Using the On Error tab" on page88.
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 OK button, 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
The Create PDF Action task creates simple PDF files using the default quality. It is very similar
to the Digital Action task (see "Digital Action" on page321) but is more limited. It does not
contain the advanced PDF options that are offered by the PlanetPress Image solution (see
"About PlanetPress Image" on page600).
In PlanetPress Suite, this task can be used to merge a data file with a specific Design
document and output the result as PDF.
In Connect, merging a data file with a Connect template and outputting PDF is done using OL
Connect Print tasks (see "OL Connect tasks" on page494).
Alternatively this task may be part of a "PDF workflow": a workflow in which both input and
output are PDF and in which Metadata tasks are used to group, sort and sequence (split) the
PDF data. (See "PDF Workflow" on page191 for more information on this.) The Create PDF
task will apply the active Metadata to the PDF data file.
PDFs created with the Create PDF action task will effectively replace the current data file in
any given process using such a task.
