8.6

In the case of a PDFdata file, two things can happen. The PDFcan be used as a data file for a
Design document, or it can be part of a straight PDFworkflow. When this is the case, this task
will rather apply the active metadata to the PDFdata file (see "PDF Workflow" on page179 for
more information on this).
Output
The output of this task is always, exclusively, a PDFfile, optionally optimized and optionally
with fresh metadata.
General tab
l
Documents: Select a specific PlanetPress Design document if you want all the jobs to be
generated with that document. The None option is available to create or update a PDF
without using a PlanetPress Design document, in a Metadata-based workflow.
l
Run mode group
l
Printer centric: Select to send the document along with the trigger and data to the
PDFRIP.
l
Optimized PostScript Stream: Select to merge the selected document with the
data received by this task before sending it to the PDFRIP. Note that some features,
such as the Time and Date require that this option be selected.
l
Options group
l
Add job information to the document: Select to add the available job info
variables in the “header” of the generated output file.
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: The metadata is updated to included only
the selected nodes from the current metadata, and sequential indexes are re-
created.
