Other tasks available in PlanetPress Workflow can be used to generate output, such as Digital
Action, Create VDX and PrintForm action tasks. Unlike output tasks, action tasks are only
considered completed once the output file has been generated. In the case of a Digital Action
action task, for example, PlanetPress Workflow will consider the task completed only once the
image file has actually been created. This means that no other task from the same process can
be performed in the meantime. For more information on those tasks, refer to Action Tasks.
Send to Folder tasks, which are considered as action and output tasks, are documented in the
current chapter.

to get rid of those files that did not meet the requirements of the condition.
