Output

This task outputs the target PDF/A-3 file, with the attachments added to it, as the job file.

Properties

General Tab

Target PDF/A-3: Specify the file to which the attachments and (optional) metadata must be

added.

Job file: When this option is checked the attachments are added to the current job file. The

job file should be PDF/A-3 compliant.

External file: Adds the attachments to an external file. Use the Browse button to select a

PDF/A-3 compliant file.

Note that the task doesn't verify that the target file is PDF/A-3 compliant. If it is a PDF file

that is non-PDF/A-3 compliant, the task will add the attachments to it, but it will not convert

the file into a PDF/A-3 compliant file.

Attachments: Specify which files should be attached to the target file. Use the buttons at the bot-

tom to add and delete attachments and to change their order.

Note: All of the Attachments properties can be variable (see "Variable task properties" on

page245). You can right-click on a field to open the contextual menu and select variables,

data, and lookup functions. The property will be dynamically determined whenever the pro-

cess runs.

Filename: The file that should be used as an attachment.

You can enter %F to attach the current job file to the target file (see "System variables" on

page240).

Note: The target file cannot be attached to itself.

Attachment Name: The name by which the attached file will go in the target file. If you

want it to have a file extension, include that in the attachment name.

Caution: If the target PDF already has an attachment with the same name, the exist-

ing attachment will be replaced without any error.

Mime Type: Enter the mime type of the attachment, e.g. text/xml, image/gif.

Relationship: Specifies what the attachment is in relation to the (entire) PDF document:

Alternative: An alternative representation of the PDF document; for instance, an

XML version of the invoice in the PDF.
