Note
If no extension is defined by the user for the file name, the default ā.psā extension is
added automatically, as the incoming print jobs are PostScript files.
Workflow variables
Variables can and should be used to create dynamic file and folder names for each print
job. This enables separating licensed and unlicensed jobs and/or storing the files by
domain, machine and even user name.
To facilitate using job related information for the creation of the target folder and file
name/s, the Job Processor plugin maps job relevant information to the standard Workflow
variables (%1 to %8). The following mappings apply:
