Warning
PDFEmulation, also called Document Input, is only available in PReS Workflow.
For more information about each emulation and how to use them, please refer to PReS
Connect User Guide.
Using the File Viewer
The File Viewer is like a Data Selector without any data related options, such as emulation
settings. It is displayed when doing a data selection from the Generic Splitter task (see
"Generic Splitter" on page 283) with the Use Emulation option unchecked. The only data
formatting codes to which the File Viewer responds are line breaks.
For more information on the selecting data, see "The Data Selector" on page 22.
Sample Data
PReS Workflow is a versatile tool that can capture various types of data files and dispatch this
data to various PReS Connect documents. To fully understand PReS Workflow and how it
treats data, you must understand how it is integrated into PReS Connect.
This section covers issues relating to the sample data used to create your PReS Workflow
configuration and to the actual data that PReS Workflow will send to PReS Connect
documents. It is an important section which you should fully understand before you start
creating your configuration. Also included in this section are procedures that let you make data
selections as well as get data from the sample data file.
