Add Document
The Add Document action task prepares a printer-centric PostScript job by adding a
PostScript version of a selected PlanetPress Connect document and the trigger to execute it
before the active data file.
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.
