Processing
If the Do not use a document (passthrough) option is used, the Metadata will contain a
single Job, Group and Document level, as many data page levels as there are data pages
(pages in a PDF, levels in XML, rows in a CSV, etc) in the file, and one page level per data
page.
Note
In PlanetPress Design, this step is equivalent to a &metamode variable value of 1.
If a data file and PlanetPress Design document are selected, the Metadata is generated by
merging the data file and document and retrieving only the Metadata generated by this merge.
The Metadata levels will reflect those defined in the document, including separation for Group
and Document, Metadata fields, etc. Note that:
l In PDF emulation, the size and orientation attributes for each page are set in the
Metadata. In all other emulations, those attributes remain blank.
l In XML emulation, the Metadata file is always created as if the user had specified the
"Second Level" parameter in PlanetPress Design.
Output
The original data file is output, along with the newly generated Metadata file. Job Info variables
are not changed.

be retrieved.
l
Add job information to the document (only if a document was selected): Select to
prompt PReS Workflow to add the available Job Information elements in the header of the
generated file.
