depth produces monochrome images. 8-bits produce grayscale images (in PReS Connect you can
have 8-bit color images, but these are reduced to grayscale if you select 8-bit here), while 24-bits
produce full color images. For JPEG output, you cannot select a monochrome (1 bpp) color depth. For
TIFF G3 and TIFF G4, monochrome (1 bpp) is the only Color depth option you can select. This
property is enabled for all output types except PDF.
l Multi-page: Select to generate a single file containing multiple pages. When this option is not selected,
PReS Image creates a file for each page included in the output file. This property is enabled for all
output types except PDF and JPEG.
Add page number: Select to put a page number on each page included in the output file. This option
goes with the Multiple TIFF option and is only visible if either the AutoStore, DocAccel or KYOcapture
format is selected.
l
Data Stream group: Determines what is output by the Digital Action task:
l Use Digital as new data stream: Use the file generated by the task for the rest of the process.
l Use original data stream (without document): Use the same data file as what was input to this
task.
l Use original data stream (with document): Uses the PostScript data generated before image is
created.
l Save a copy:Optional when the "Use Digital as the new data stream"option is checked, otherwise is
always checked. Keeps a copy of the digital output onto the specified folder.
l Folder and filename: Enter the path of the folder to which output files generated by this task are to be
archived. PDF index files (PDI and XML) are also put in this folder. This edit box is enabled when the
Save a copy option is selected. To prevent each new file from overwriting the previous one, you
should use variable names. As with any variable property box, you can use any combination of text,
variables and data selections. When multiple files are generated for a single job (such as for multiple
TIFFs), each file name includes a sequence number, such as in Invoice0, Invoice1, Invoice2. If you
use file name masks that include dots, such as Statement.%y.@(1,1,1,1,25,KeepCase,Trim) or Job.%f,
for example, you must add quotation marks at the beginning and end of the file name
(“Statement.%y.%m.@(1,1,1,1,25,KeepCase,Trim)” or ”Job.%f”). Otherwise, when the file is saved,
anything appearing after the last dot is replaced by the file’s extension characters (and the file name
thus becomes Statement.2005.pdf instead of Statement.2005.255842.pdf, or Job.tif instead of
Job.544872.tif). Failing to add the quotation marks may result in files being overwritten.
l Automatically Add Extension:Check if you want the correct extension for the image type to be
appended to the filename automatically, rather than having to add it in the Filename box. The Output
Type determines the extension to be used.
l Add PDFto PReS Search database:Check to update the PReS Search database with each new
PDFgenerated.
l Index group: This group lets you specify which type of index must be created for each document
generated by this task. PDIfiles are used by PReS Search as indexing information.
