Input
This task can support files in any emulation, however, the actual file that should be used is one
that is compatible with the selected PlanetPress Design document.
Processing
This task takes the PostScript version of the document (.ps7), ads the trigger and then the
active data file to it. If metadata is present, the output is based on this metadata (unselected
data pages will not generate output, the sort order will be respected, etc). Otherwise the
complete data file is merged.
Output
The output is an PostScript job that can be sent to any output task in "passthrough"mode, for
example Create PDF, PlanetPress Image, etc. Metadata is not generated by this task.
Properties
General tab
l
Documents: Select a specific PlanetPress Design document if you want all the jobs to be
merged with that document.
l
Add job information to the document: Select to prompt your PlanetPress Workflow to
add the available job information elements in the header of the generated file. Note that
this option is only enabled if a document was selected.
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog"
on page723.
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 not generate output. The On Error tab can be used to
overwrite the default behaviors.
