Output
The output produced by this task is dependent on the options selected: it can be PDF, a
Windows EMF print job, a PostScript print job or a JPG file. PrintShop Mail 7 can also output
PDF/VT and PPML/VDX.
Note that the Preflight output type doesn't actually produce printable or viewable output. The
Preflight option does a cursory verification of the job and will generate an XML file that contains
a list of all warnings and errors.
