In the case of Connect Print output, using Print Presets to separate the output is preferable to
using the PDF Splitter. How to separate Print output in Connect is explained in the Connect
Online Help: How to split print output into multiple files.

A PDF data file (see "PDF emulation" on page66).
Processing

The Metadata is not reset at the time the next data file is sent to the rest of the process.
See also: "Output issues caused by Metadata, and how to avoid them" on page79.
