Output
The PDFfile with embedded metadata (the metadata is not deleted from the PDFFile on
extraction, so this task will always output a PDFwith embedded metadata).
Properties
General Tab
l Extract metadata into PDFjob file:the metadata is extracted from the current data file
(which is assumed to be a PDF file in which metadata has been previously embedded),
and it becomes the current metadata from this point on, overwriting any current metadata
file that may already be set.
l Embed metadata from PDFjob file:the current metadata file is inserted in the current
data file, which is assumed to be a PDF file. If the original PDF is PDF/X or PDF/A
compliant, the resulting PDF filewill also becompliant.
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog"
on page777.
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)will 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:Enabled 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:In 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:
l Default:By default, the task is ignored as if it did not exist and the error is logged
before continuing the branch or process; the job file is passed on to the next task in
the process. When an error occurs in a loop (or in a plugin that acts like a loop), the
loop may log the error, terminate the current iteration and proceed with the next
iteration.
