Create PDF/VT
The Create PDF/VT, similar to the Create PDF task, creates PDF/VTfiles from a PlanetPress
Document (created with PlanetPress Design). This PDF/VTis compatible with the Create Print
Content directly without the use of a Connect Template (PDF/VTmode).
Input
Any data file supported by the selected PlanetPress Document.
Processing
The input data file is merged with the selected PlanetPress Document.
Output
The output is a PDF/VT with default quality settings. The metadata embedded within the
PDF/VTis the one generated by the PlanetPress Document.
Properties
The Create PDF/VT action task properties are as follows (note that the Connect Proxytab is
not present as this task does not communicate with the OLConnect Server module):

Documents: Select a specific PlanetPress Design document if you want all the jobs to be

the Create Print Content.
l Add job information to document:Check to add the 9 jobinfo variables to the PDF/VT
metadata at the root level.
