PReS Image output task, PReS Workflow considers its job done once it has sent its request to
PReS Image, not once PReS Image has finished generating the actual image file.
Other tasks available in PReS Workflow can be used to generate output, such as Digital
Action, Create VDX and PrintForm action tasks. Unlike output tasks, action tasks are only
considered completed once the output file has been generated. In the case of a Digital Action
action task, for example, PReS Workflow will consider the task completed only once the image
file has actually been created. This means that no other task from the same process can be
performed in the meantime. For more information on those tasks, refer to Action Tasks.
Send to Folder tasks, which are considered as action and output tasks, are documented in the
current chapter.
Delete
Delete output tasks simply delete the job files they receive. They are often used after conditions
to get rid of those files that did not meet the requirements of the condition.
Input
Any data file, with optional metadata.
Processing
The data file is either deleted directly or sent to the Windows Recycle Bin.
Properties
General tab
l
