Since this task is an Output, it is not possible to immediately act on the generated image before
continuing. When necessary to immediately retrieve the generated file, the "Digital Action" on
page431 task should be used instead.
In addition to the job-specific PlanetPress Image properties you configure in the task’s
Properties dialog box, there are configurable options common to all PlanetPress Image
outputs processed by a given computer (see "PlanetPress Image preferences" on page828).
Note that those options are specific to each PlanetPress Image installation and that they are
immediately applied.
The following describes the properties specific to PlanetPress Image Output tasks.
Note
In some combinations of Microsoft Outlook and Windows versions, it is not possible for
Outlook to be opened while PlanetPress Workflow is running, so emails are not sent out
automatically. To correct this, make sure to log on to Windows on the PlanetPress
Workflow server using the same login that PlanetPress Workflow is using, and open
Outlook before starting the PlanetPress Workflow services. You could also use a startup
process to start Outlook before the rest of the services.
Input
The input file can be:
l Any data file with a valid emulation (see "About data emulation" on page60).
l A PDF/VT file.
l An Optimized PostScript Stream file (.ps) generated by PlanetPress Workflow. The .ps file
must be the result of the merge between a PlanetPress Design document and a data file,
and can be generated either with the use of "Add Document" on page403, or a printer
queue using a "Send to Folder printer queue" on page120. Postscript generated using
any other way will fail, as PlanetPress Image requires knowledge of the number of pages
in the document, which is not available in output generated using any other means. Note
however that "Digital Action" on page431 does have the ability, in most cases, to
generate output using third-party PostScript files.
