file under an existing name, it appends the content of the new job file to that of the existing
file, instead of overwriting it.

merging the PDF logically.

Separator string: This option is used to add a separator string between the content of
each file when the Concatenate files option is selected.

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

Unknown tasks
An Unknown task is a task location that is not linked to any existing known task. Unknown
tasks can have multiple causes:
l Cutting an input or output task will replace it with an Unknown task. See "Cutting, copying
and pasting tasks and branches" on page681.
l Creating a new branch will create an Unknown output task in that branch. See Adding
Branches.
l Using Branch From Here... will create an Unknown output task below that branch. See
Adding Branches.
l Opening a configuration that contains additional plugins that are not installed on that
system will cause these plugins to be replaced by Unknown tasks. Installing the
additional plugins and re-opening the configuration will restore the plugins and their
properties.
