Processing
Once all PDF files are captured, their original copies are deleted from the input folder (or
tagged as Archive if this option is selected) and they are merged into a single PDF. This is
done in a single operation, not incrementally, meaning the file is built once and, if the option is
chosen, optimized once.
Output
A single PDF containing as many pages as all the combined input PDFs is generated. If the
option is selected, this PDF is optimized. An optional Metadata file is also created, containing
information about the PDFs. This Metadata is divided in such a way that each PDF file is its
own document, which can contain multiple data pages.
Task properties
General Tab
l
Folder: Enter the full path of the folder from which the input files are to be taken.
l
Masks: Enter a single or multiple file names or use file name masks. See "Masks" on
page302. Since this task only supports PDF files, make sure your extension remains
.PDF for all your masks.
l
Sort files by: Select a given sorting method to prompt PlanetPress Workflow to sort the
files in the source folder before taking them (and thus to take them in a specific order).
Select None to let PlanetPress Workflow take the files without sorting them first.
l
Sort order: If you selected a sorting method in the Sort files by box, select the order in
which you want the files to be sorted.
l
Use archive attribute: Select to turn on the archive attribute of the data files found in the
source folder and to leave them in their original location (i.e. to take copies of the source
files). Note that PlanetPress Workflow never takes source files that have their archive
attribute turned on (so the source files will not be taken again and again). When this
option is turned off, PlanetPress Workflow removes data files from the source location.
l
Capture files in sub-directories also: Select to capture files from child folders of the
source folder as well. When this option is selected, the chosen Sort order is applied to
each separate folder, not across folders. The subfolders themselves are always
processed in alphabetical order, regardless of the sort order.
l
Sort directories first: If you selected a sorting method in the Sort files by box, and if you
want the folders present in the source folder to be sorted first, select this option.
