l
When condition is found: By default, the task splits the file every time the condition is met (the
default value is 1). If you want the task to split the file only when the condition has been met
twice, for example, enter the number 2 in this box.
l Split PDFfile based on Metadata group:
l Metadata Level: Determines on which level of the metadata the split occurs. This can be Group,
Document to Data page.
l Sequencing based on:
l The following number of occurrences of the level: Determine a sequence based on the
number of instances found for the metadata level currently processed. For example, if the
Metadata level is set to Group, and this value is set to 3, each sequence contains 3 groups
(except, possibly, the last one, depending on the number of groups left in the last
sequence). The next loop starts with the next group after this sequence.
l Thefollowing number of sequences in the job:Divides the metadata into a set number
of sequences and equally distributes the number of levels between the sequences. For
example, it the Metadata level is set to Document, and this value is set to 5, a 100
document job file will be divided into 5 sequences of 20 documents each.
l Thefollowing rule: Determine if a new sequence starts or if the current one ends. For each
metadata level, the current value of the specified metadata attribute / field is compared with
the one in memory. If they are different, either a new sequence starts or the current
sequence is ended. The next sequence starts with the next metadata level being
processed. For details see the Rule Interface.
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 certain
amount of time to the process. This option should only be unchecked if the timing of the process 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.
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog" on page666.
By default, any action task, branch, splitter or condition that generates an error will simply be ignored, and
the task just under it (not within a branch)will be given control of the job file without any modification. Any
initial input task that generates an error will stop the process from running as a whole, and output tasks will
