l
External file: Adds the attachments to an external file. Use the Browse button to
select a PDF/A-3 compliant file.
Note that the task doesn't verify that the target file is PDF/A-3 compliant. If it is a
PDF file that is non-PDF/A-3 compliant, the task will add the attachments to it, but it
will not convert the file into a PDF/A-3 compliant file.
l
Attachments: Specify which files should be attached to the target file. Use the buttons at
the bottom to add and delete attachments and to change their order.
Note
All of the Attachments properties can be variable (see "Variable task properties" on
page732). You can right-click on a field to open the contextual menu and select
variables, data, and lookup functions. The property will be dynamically determined
whenever the process runs.
l
Filename: The file that should be used as an attachment.
You can enter %F to attach the current job file to the target file (see "System
variables" on page723).
Note
The target file cannot be attached to itself.
l
Attachment Name: The name by which the attached file will go in the target file. If
you want it to have a file extension, include that in the attachment name.
Warning
If the target PDF already has an attachment with the same name, the existing
attachment will be replaced without any error.
l
Mime Type: Enter the mime type of the attachment, e.g. text/xml, image/gif.
