Note
While the Do not use a document (passthrough)is visible in this list, it is not compatible with the
PlanetPress Image output if the PostScript was not generated by merging a design document
with data in PlanetPress Workflow. In order to generate an image in passthrough mode with
external PostScript, please use the Digital Action task.
l List only documents using VDXcompilation:Check to ensure that only documents that are
compatible with the VDXcompilation method are shown in the list, if producing VDXoutput.

l
Printer centric: Select to send the document along with the trigger and data to PlanetPress
Image.
l
Optimized PostScript Stream: Select to merge the selected document with the data received by
this task before sending it to PlanetPress Image. Note that some features, such as the Time and
Date functions, require that this option be selected.
l
Add job information to the document: Select to add the available job info variables in the “header”
of the generated output file.
l
Output type: Select the output file type that you want.
l PDF:The output will be a PDFfile. If you select PDF, the DPI and Color Depth options (see
below) are disabled and the options available in the PDF tab are enabled.
l JPEG:The output will be a JPEGfile. JPEGis a lossy compression image format that creates
small files, compressing continuous tone images (such as scanned photographs) well.
l TIFF:The output will be a TIFFfile. TIFF is a higher quality format that is one of the standards for
document exchange, useful for eventual printing or archiving. You have a choice of the following
compressed TIFF formats: TIFF Group 3, TIFF Group 4, and TIFF Packed bits. You can also use
the uncompressed TIFF format, which produces the largest files with the highest quality. TIFF is
a versatile and platform-independent format. It is used in many digitizing projects as the format of
choice for the digital masters. The TIFF Group 3 and Group 4 formats are efficient for document
storage.
l The AutoStore, DocAccel and KYOcapture formats also generate TIFF files along with special
XMLthat are meant for these specialized systems.
