archive folder.
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.
