box. Enter 1, for example, to split the file at the beginning of the line that precedes
the line on which the condition is met.
l
Before: If you entered a value other than 0 in the Where to split box, select this
option if you want to split the file a given number of lines before the line on which
the condition is met.
l
After: If you entered a value other than 0 in the Where to split box, select this option
if you want to split the file a given number of lines after the line on which the
condition is met.
l
When condition is found: By default, the task splits the file every time the condition
is met (the default value is 1). If you want the task to split the file only when the
condition has been met twice, for example, enter the number 2 in this box.
l Split PDFfile based on Metadata group:
l Metadata Level: Determines on which level of the metadata the split occurs. This
can be Group, Document to Data page.
l Sequencing based on:
l The following number of occurrences of the level: Determine a sequence
based on the number of instances found for the metadata level currently
processed. For example, if the Metadata level is set to Group, and this value is
set to 3, each sequence contains 3 groups (except, possibly, the last one,
depending on the number of groups left in the last sequence). The next loop
starts with the next group after this sequence.
l Thefollowing number of sequences in the job:Divides the metadata into a
set number of sequences and equally distributes the number of levels
between the sequences. For example, it the Metadata level is set to
Document, and this value is set to 5, a 100 document job file will be divided
into 5 sequences of 20 documents each.
l Thefollowing rule: Determine if a new sequence starts or if the current one
ends. For each metadata level, the current value of the specified metadata
attribute / field is compared with the one in memory. If they are different, either
a new sequence starts or the current sequence is ended. The next sequence
starts with the next metadata level being processed. For details see the Rule
Interface.
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
