Note
The Digital Action task requires a PlanetPress Image license to be present on the same
IP Subnet as PlanetPress Workflow, either on the same server or a different one with
PlanetPress Image installed and activated.
Differences between Digital Action and Image tasks
l Digital Action is an Action task and cannot be the last task in a branch or process. Image
is an Output task, and has to be placed at the end of a process or branch.
l Digital Action can accept PDF/VT and PostScript (.ps) files as an input, even if they are
not generated by any PlanetPress Workflow tools.

Note
For an explanation of how to generate specific tags and indexes for the Image and
Digital Action tasks, in a PDF/VT file created with Connect, see the Connect Online
Help: Generating tags for Image output.
Alternatively, select a PlanetPress Design document if you want all the jobs to be
generated with that document. To use a document chosen at run-time for each job, enter a
dynamic document name using a combination of text, variables and data selections. To
enable the dynamic document name box, click inside it. To disable it, press Enter. Note
that in the latter case, you must be certain that the documents that will be chosen at run-
time will in fact be available locally or at the selected host.
