l
Optimize resulting PDF: Select to specify whether the resulting PDF should be optimized.
Optimization can lead to a significant reduction in the size of the PDF, but it may also add a cer-
tain amount of time to the process. This option should only be unchecked if the timing of the pro-
cess is critical and needs to be done quickly, but keep in mind that the resulting PDF may be
much larger than it should be and may even be too large for PlanetPress Workflow to handle.
l
Reset Metadata according to new PDF: Metadata will be recreated according to the new PDF
that was created, including page numbering, etc.
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 Pro-
cess area.
XML Splitter
XML Splitter action tasks use the XSLT language to split XML data files into multiple XML data files
that are passed to subsequent tasks in the process. The XML splitter includes options to add a new root
node within the generated files, as well as to change the original file’s encoding to UTF8. Note that the
XML Splitter cannot process files larger than 30 megabytes.
Input
An XML file (see "XML Emulation" on page62).
Processing
The file is separated into multiple chunks according to the rules set in the task's properties.
Output
Multiple data files, sent one after the other to the rest of the tasks in the process. Metadata, Job Info
variables and user variables are not modified by this task.
Task properties
General Tab
This tab lets you choose the splitter settings for the default PlanetPress Workflow XSLT engine. If you
want to use your own XSLT engine, click the Alternate XSLT Engine tab.
l
Split method: Use this box only if you want to edit the standard XSLT script that will be used to
split the XML file. First use the Standard XML splitter option to define the standard settings.
Then, to change the standard XSLT script, select Advanced XML splitter and edit the script as
required.
