l
Send Email: Select to send the generated file via email. You enter the emailing
properties in the Login, Recipients, and Attachment(s) tabs. Note that the generated file
will only be sent if you select the Attach output file(s) option in the Attachment(s) tab.
l
Archive folder: 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 Archive output option is selected.
l
Filename : Enter the name of the output files generated by this task. 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 file name automatically, rather than having to add it in the
Filename box. The Output Type determines the extension to be used.
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.
l
XML and PDI: Select if you want this task to add both an XML and a PDI index file
to the generated document.
Job Options tab
If you chose PDF as the output type in the General tab, use this tab to choose the appropriate
PDF options. Note that all the options available in this tab are only used with PDF files.
l
Job options: Select the PDF output option that best describes your needs. This loads all
the standard settings for the selected usage scenario. These settings can be changed as
