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 page249 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.
