l
Data Stream group: Determines what is output by the Digital Action task:
l Use Digital as new data stream: Use the file generated by the task for the rest of
the process.
l Use original data stream (without document): Use the same data file as what
was input to this task.
l Use original data stream (with document): Uses the PostScript data generated
before image is created.
l Save a copy:Optional when the "Use Digital as the new data stream"option is checked,
otherwise is always checked. Keeps a copy of the digital output onto the specified folder.
l
Folder and filename: Enter the path of the folder to which output files generated by this
task are to be archived. PDF index files (PDI and XML) are also put in this folder. This edit
box is enabled when the Save a copy option is selected. To prevent each new file from
overwriting the previous one, you should use variable names. As with any variable
property box, you can use any combination of text, variables and data selections. When
multiple files are generated for a single job (such as for multiple TIFFs), each file name
includes a sequence number, such as in Invoice0, Invoice1, Invoice2. If you use file name
masks that include dots, such as Statement.%y.@(1,1,1,1,25,KeepCase,Trim) or Job.%f,
for example, you must add quotation marks at the beginning and end of the file name
(“Statement.%y.%m.@(1,1,1,1,25,KeepCase,Trim)” or ”Job.%f”). Otherwise, when the file
is saved, anything appearing after the last dot is replaced by the file’s extension
characters (and the file name thus becomes Statement.2005.pdf instead of
Statement.2005.255842.pdf, or Job.tif instead of Job.544872.tif). Failing to add the
quotation marks may result in files being overwritten.
l Automatically Add Extension:Check if you want the correct extension for the image
type to be appended to the filename automatically, rather than having to add it in the
Filename box. The Output Type determines the extension to be used.
l Add PDFto PlanetPress Search database:Check to update the PlanetPress Search
database with each new PDFgenerated.
l
Index group: This group lets you specify which type of index must be created for each
document generated by this task. PDIfiles are used by PlanetPress Search as indexing
information.
l
None: Select if you do not want this task to add an index file to the generated
document.
l
PDI: Select if you want this task to add a PDI index file to the generated document.
