l
Filename : Enter the name of the output files generated by this task. 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 file name automatically, rather than having to add it in the Filename box. The Output
Type determines the extension to be used.
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.
l
None: Select if you do not want this task to add an index file to the generated document.
l
PDI: Select if you want this task to add a PDI index file to the generated document.
l
XML and PDI: Select if you want this task to add both an XML and a PDI index file to the
generated document.
Job Options tab
If you chose PDF as the output type in the General tab, use this tab to choose the appropriate PDF options.
Note that all the options available in this tab are only used with PDF files.
l
Job options: Select the PDF output option that best describes your needs. This loads all the standard
settings for the selected usage scenario. These settings can be changed as required. Note that if you
make changes and then select a different output option, your changes will be lost. PReS Image
supports numerous PDF standards: Standard, High Quality, Custom, and a variety of PDF/VT, PDF/A
and PDF/X formats.
l
General group
l
ASCII format: Select to create the PDF file using ASCII characters (instead of the usual 8-bit
binary format). This option produces a file suitable for transmission over a 7-bit ASCII link. This
option is useful if the PDFs need to be opened in a text editor, sent across networks, or sent via
email using a program that does not support binary files. This option also generates smaller files.
