Task properties
General tab
l
Documents: Select None to use the job file as-is. Alternatively, select a specific
PlanetPress Design document if you want all the jobs to be generated with that
document.
l
Run mode group (only with a PlanetPress Design document):
l
Printer centric: Select to send the document along with the trigger and data to the
PDF RIP.
l
Optimized PostScript Stream: Select to merge the selected document with the
data received by this task before sending it to the PDF RIP. Note that some features,
such as the Time and Date require that this option be selected.
l
Options group
l
Add job information to the document: Select to add the available Job Info
variables in the “header” of the generated output file.
l
Optimize resulting PDF: Select to specify whether the resulting PDF should be
optimized. Optimization can lead to a significant reduction in the size of the PDF,
but it may also add a certain amount of time to the process. This option should only
be unchecked if the timing of the process is critical and it needs to be done quickly,
but keep in mind that the resulting PDF may be much larger than it should be and
may even be too large for PlanetPress Workflow to handle.
l
Reset Metadata according to new PDF: The Metadata is updated to include only
the selected nodes from the current Metadata, and sequential indexes are re-
created.
