Comments Tab
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a text area (Task comments)that lets
you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with
the OKbutton, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
Create Preview PDF
The Create Preview PDF plugin generates a PDF preview for a single record as fast as
possible. This preview is typically used for previews embedded in web pages.
The plugin retrieves the resulting PDF from the file store and makes it available to the process
as the job data file. The job file name extension is .pdf.
This file could be written to a publicly accessible location (for example the _iRes folder) so that
the path could be served back to the browser, allowing the web page to embed the PDF data
for online viewing.
