path entered. The Microsoft® Word® to PDF action task allows specifying the path of the
database and the query to use. The Use custom settings option is very usefully for using
different databases and queries in a single process.
l If the database is the same for 2 processes, one of two processes aborts. Each process
has to use different databases, or no more than one process with a Microsoft® Word® to
PDF task.
Input
A compatible Microsoft Word Document.
Processing
The Word document is converted into a PDF file. If a Mail Merge is made, the mail merge is
done in the document before the document is converted into a PDF file. The conversion is done
through the use of a printer queue - the document is printed to this queue and the print job is
converted to PDF. This is the same technique as used in the "WinQueue Input" on page299
when generating PDF files.
Output
The output is either:
l A PDF file accompanied with basic PDF metadata. This is the default output. The
Metadata contains one Document level, and one Data page (and Page) level for each
PDF page generated by the document. When Mail Merge is not selected, this is the only
available choice.
Note
The Objectif Lune Printer Driver will naturally add a margin to the PDF generated
by this task. If your PDF is full bleed you will not get the desired results using this
option.
l A DOC (Word Document) file which is the result of the mail merge. This output is only
available when doing a mail merge.
