l
Subset: Select to embed only a subset of the Type 1 and TrueType fonts used in
the document. A font subset is in fact composed of only those characters that are
actually used in the document. This option can only be used if the Embed all fonts
option is selected. Note that if more than 35% of the characters included in a font are
used in the document, the entire font is embedded. This option often produces
smaller PDF files and ensures proper PDF display.
l
Initial view group
l
Zoom factor: Select the magnification at which you want Adobe Acrobat or Adobe
Reader (or other PDF viewer) to open the generated PDF. Choose the Fit in
window option to display the entire page using the available screen space, or
choose a percentage of the actual document size.
l
Show: Select the information you want Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader (or other
PDF viewer) to display with the generated PDF. Select Page only to leave the tabs
area to the left of the PDF pages empty. Select Bookmarks and page to display the
contents of the Bookmarks tab (you use data selection objects to create bookmarks
in PlanetPress) alongside the PDF pages. Select Page tab and Page to display the
content of the Pages tab (thumbnails of each PDF pages) alongside the PDF
pages. Select Full screen to hide all screen contents except the PDF page, and
expand the PDF page to the maximum size it can occupy onscreen.
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog"
on pageξ777.
By default, any action task, branch, splitter or condition that generates an error will simply be
ignored, and the task just under it (not within a branch)ξwill be given control of the job file
without any modification. Any initial input task that generates an error will stop the process from
running as a whole, and output tasks will not generate output. The On Error tab can be used to
overwrite the default behaviors.
l Send to Process: Check this option to send the job file to an error management process.
l
Error Process drop-down:ξEnabled only when the Send to Process option is checked.
Lists any process of which the initial input task is the Input Error Bin task.
l Action:ξIn the initial input tasks, this group is disabled and defaults to Stop Process. In
all other tasks where the On Error tab is present, the following options are available:
