Note
Microsoft® Word® needs to be installed for this task to be functional and to test the connection.
Input
Acompatible MicrosoftWord Document (see notes).
Processing
The Word document is converted into a PDFfile. If a Mail Merge is made, the mail merge is done in the
document before the document is converted into a PDFfile. The conversion is done through the use of a
printer queue - the document is printed to this queue and the print job is converted to PDF. This is the same
technique used in the "WinQueue Input" on page 201 when generating PDFfiles.
Output
One of:
l By default, aPDFfile accompanied with basic PDFmetadata. The Metadata contains one "Document"
level, and one data page (and page)level for each PDFpage generated by the document. When Mail
Merge is not selected, this is the only available choice.
Technical
In current versions, the Objectif Lune Printer Driver will naturally add a margin to the PDF
generated by this task. While this will be fixed in future versions, if your PDFis full bleed you will
not get the desired results using this option.
l A DOC(Word Document)file which is the result of the mail merge. This output is only available when
doing a mail merge.
