l
To column: Enter a value corresponding to the last column in which the splitter
must start searching for the word.
l
Match case: Select to force the splitter to match the character casing of the string of
characters entered above with the characters found in the file. If this option is
selected, “DAY” and “Day” will not be considered as matching the search string
“day”.
l
Where to split: By default, the task splits the file at the beginning of the line on
which the search word is found (the default value is 0). If you want the task to split
the file a certain number of lines before or after that line, enter a value other than 0 in
this box. Enter 1, for example, to split the file at the beginning of the line that
precedes the line on which the search word is found.
l
Before: If you entered a value other than 0 in the Where to split box, select this
option if you want to split the file a given number of lines before the search word.
l
After: If you entered a value other than 0 in the Where to split box, select this option
if you want to split the file a given number of lines after the search word.
l
When word is found: By default, the task splits the file every time the search word
is found (the default value is 1). If you want the task to split the file only when the
search word has been found twice, for example, enter the number 2 in this box.
Miscellaneous Tab
The Miscellaneous tab is common to all tasks.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
PDF Splitter
PDF Splitter Action tasks are used to split emulated PDF data files into multiple data files that
are passed to subsequent tasks in the process.
When using a PlanetPress Design document, the PDF Splitter will do the job quicker than the
Metadata Sequencer task that can also be used to split PDFs. However, when using a PDF as
input, the Metadata Sequencer might perform better. For more information and some test
results, see this How-to: Performance testing grounds.
