processed. For example, if the Metadata level is set to Group, and this value is
set to 3, each sequence contains 3 groups (except, possibly, the last one,
depending on the number of groups left in the last sequence). The next loop
starts with the next group after this sequence.
l
The following number of sequences in the job: Divides the Metadata into a
set number of sequences and equally distributes the number of levels
between the sequences. For example, it the Metadata level is set to
Document, and this value is set to 5, a 100 document job file will be divided
into 5 sequences of 20 documents each.
l
The following rule: Determine if a new sequence starts or if the current one
ends. For each Metadata level, the current value of the specified Metadata
attribute / field is compared with the one in memory. If they are different, either
a new sequence starts or the current sequence is ended. The next sequence
starts with the next Metadata level being processed. For details see the "Rule
Interface" on page859.
l
Optimize resulting PDF: Select to specify whether the resulting PDF should be
optimized. Optimization can lead to a significant reduction in the size of the PDF, but it
may also add a certain amount of time to the process. This option should only be
unchecked if the timing of the process is critical and needs to be done quickly, but keep in
mind that the resulting PDF may be much larger than it should be and may even be too
large for PReS Workflow to handle.
l
Reset Metadata according to new PDF: Metadata will be recreated according to the
new PDF that was created, including page numbering, etc.
Miscellaneous Tab
The Miscellaneous tab is common to all tasks.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
XML Splitter
XML Splitter action tasks use the XSLT language to split XML data files into multiple XML data
files that are passed to subsequent tasks in the process. The XML splitter includes options to
add a new root node within the generated files, as well as to change the original file’s encoding
to UTF8. Note that the XML Splitter cannot process files larger than 30 megabytes.
