Input
Any data file supported by PReS Workflow, or a PostScript file.
Processing
A PostScript file can be converted straight into PDF.
A regular data file needs to be merged with a PlanetPress Design document first, except for a
PDF file, which may or may not be merged with a PlanetPress Design document.
When a PDF file is used as-is, the Create PDF task will apply the active Metadata to the PDF
data file (for more information on this see "PDF Workflow" on page195 and "Working with
Metadata" on page80).
Output
The output of this task is always, exclusively, a PDF file, optionally optimized and optionally
with fresh Metadata.
For the PDF values for files generated with this plugin, see "PDF Values" on page320.
