Note
All PReS Classic licenses are issued and controlled by the PReS License Server
and not Connect. Thus a separate PReS Classic license is required.
Input
A PReS Classic job and the resources it needs.
These resources include the data file to run against the job, plus any graphic or font resources
the jobs needs, along with any required PReS Classic specific resources, such as TRF or PDI
files.
Processing
The selected data file is merged with the selected PReS Classic job to create a print output
stream.
If the PReS Classic job selected is an uncompiled PReS Classic script (PDS), it will first be
compiled on the fly and then run using the selected data file.
If the PReS Classic job selected is a pre-compiled PReS job (PDC) file, then the pre-compiled
job will run with the selected data file.
Output
The available output print stream options are AFPDS, GOPReS (Graphic Output), IJPDS, PCL,
PDF and PostScript (PS) outputs.
Task properties
General Tab
l
PDC File: Select either an un-compiled PReS Classic script file (PDS) which will need to
be compiled on the fly, or a pre-compiled PReS Classic job file (PDC).
The job needs to be specified exactly. If you want to compile the job at run time, then you
must select a PDS file. If you wish to use a pre-compiled PReS Classic job, then select
the PDC file, rather than the PDS.
If a PReS Classic script file (PDS) is selected, Connect Workflow will use PReS Classic
