compatible with the PReS Image output if the PostScript was not generated by
merging a design document with data in PReS Workflow. In order to generate an
image in passthrough mode with external PostScript, please use the Digital Action
task.
l List only documents using VDXcompilation:Check to ensure that only documents
that are compatible with the VDXcompilation method are shown in the list, if producing
VDXoutput.
l
Run mode group
l
Printer centric: Select to send the document along with the trigger and data to
PReS Image.
l
Optimized PostScript Stream: Select to merge the selected document with the
data received by this task before sending it to PReS Image. Note that some
features, such as the Time and Date require that this option be selected.
l
Add job information to the document: Select to add the available job info variables in
the “header” of the generated output file.
l
Output type: Select the output file type that you want.
l PDF:The output will be a PDFfile. If you select PDF, the DPI and Color Depth
options (see below) are disabled and the options available in the PDF tab are
enabled.
l JPEG:The output will be a JPEGfile. JPEGis a lossy compression image format
that creates small files, compressing continuous tone images (such as scanned
photographs) well.
l TIFF:The output will be a TIFFfile. TIFF is a higher quality format that is one of the
standards for document exchange, useful for eventual printing or archiving. You
have a choice of the following compressed TIFF formats: TIFF Group 3, TIFF Group
4, and TIFF Packed bits. You can also use the uncompressed TIFF format, which
produces the largest files with the highest quality. TIFF is a versatile and platform-
independent format. It is used in many digitizing projects as the format of choice for
the digital masters. The TIFF Group 3 and Group 4 formats are efficient for
document storage.
l The AutoStore, DocAccel and KYOcapture formats also generate TIFF files along
with special XMLthat are meant for these specialized systems.
