files will not be taken again and again). When this option is turned off, PReS Workflow removes
data files from the source location.
l
Capture files in sub-directories also: Select to capture files from child folders of the source
folder as well. When this option is selected, the chosen Sort order is applied to each separate
folder, not across folders. The subfolders themselves are always processed in alphabetical
order, regardless of the sort order.
l
Sort directories first: If you selected a sorting method in the Sort files by box, and if you want
the folders present in the source folder to be sorted first, select this option.
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 cer-
tain amount of time to the process. This option should only be unchecked if the timing of the pro-
cess 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
Create Metadata: Select to specify that a basic metadata structure should be created for the res-
ulting PDF file. The metadata structure created will contain a single Job separated by one Docu-
ment per captured PDF file. Within each Document, one Data Page containing a single Page is
created for each page of the PDF file.
Note: Metadata can be manipulated with Metadata tasks; see "Metadata tasks" on page467.
