PReS Image
PReS Image output tasks are used to make request to PReS Image, which creates image files which it then
archives or emails. Since this task is an output, it is not possible to immediately act on the generated image
before continuing. When necessary to immediately retrieve the generated file, "Digital Action" on page 231
should be used instead.
In addition to the job-specific PReS Image properties you configure in the task’s Properties dialog box,
there are configurable options common to all PReS Image outputs processed by a given computer (see
"PReS Image User Options" on page 572). Note that those options are specific to each PReS Image
installation and that they are immediately applied.
The following describes the properties specific to PReS Image output tasks. For information on those
properties shared by various types of tasks, such as Other and On error properties, refer to Configurations,
Processes and Tasks.
Technical
In some combinations of Microsoft Outlook and Windows versions, it is not possible for Outlook to be
opened while PReS Workflow is running, so emails are not sent out automatically. To correct this,
make sure to logon to Windows on the PReS Workflow server using the same login that PReS
Workflow is using, and open Outlook before starting the PReS Workflow services. You could also use
a startup process to start Outlook before the rest of the services.
Input
Any data file with a valid Emulation, or an Optimized PostScript Stream file (.ps)generated by PReS
Workflow itself.
