Example of a process with the Metadata Level Creation task
Given a document input (created with metadata), this task can be used to regroup the PDF
pages of the received print stream in logical (metadata) documents, based on the keyword
“Page 1 of” printed on the pages, and then treat each newly created document individually in
the rest of the process
The process begins with the following tasks:
1. WinQueue Input: Intercepts a printed data file sent to a Windows printer queue.
2. Metadata Level Creation: Begins a new document node when “Page 1 of” is found on a
data page.
l Action: Document
l Delimiter: Begins when
l Rule: (@(?,1,1,1,9,KeepCase,NoTrim) IS EQUAL TO Page 1 of)
3. Metadata Sequencer: Splits the data file on each metadata document node level.
With this example, before the Metadata Level Creation task, the metadata structure contains
one group containing one document (containing multiple data pages). After the Metadata Level
Creation task, the metadata structure contains one group containing multiple documents.
Input
Any data file with accompanying metadata.
Processing
The metadata file is split on the selected level.
Output
The original data file is output, along with the modified metadata.
