Since this task is an Output, it is not possible to immediately act on the generated image before
continuing. When necessary to immediately retrieve the generated file, the "Digital Action" on
page281 task should be used instead.
In addition to the job-specific PReS Image properties you configure in the task’s Properties
dialog box, there are configurable options common to all PReS Image outputs processed by a
given computer (see "PReS Image preferences" on page668). Note that those options are
specific to each PReS Image installation and that they are immediately applied.
The following describes the properties specific to PReS Image Output tasks.
Note
In some combinations of Microsoft Outlook and Windows versions, it is not possible for
Outlook to be opened while PReS Workflow is running, so emails are not sent out
automatically. To correct this, make sure to log on to Windows on the PReS Workflow
server using the same login that PReS Workflow is using, and open Outlook before
starting the PReS Workflow services. You could also use a startup process to start
Outlook before the rest of the services.
Input
The input file can be:
l Any data file with a valid emulation (see "About data emulation" on page52).
l A PDF/VT file.
l An Optimized PostScript Stream file (.ps) generated by PReS Workflow. The .ps file must
be the result of the merge between a PlanetPress Design document and a data file, and
can be generated either with the use of "Add Document" on page252, or a printer queue
using a "Send to Folder printer queue" on page101. Postscript generated using any other
way will fail, as PReS Image requires knowledge of the number of pages in the
document, which is not available in output generated using any other means. Note
however that "Digital Action" on page281 does have the ability, in most cases, to
generate output using third-party PostScript files.
