%1 - PDF Directory: Contains the folder from which the data was captured.This option is disabled on initial input tasks, and is checked by default on secondary input tasks. Delete Existing Metadata: Check to remove any metadata from memory.Backup filename: Enter the filename that you wish the input data file backup to be saved under.These files are saved in the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools working folders under the "Backup" folder. Backup input files: Check this to save a copy of each data file that is captured by your input.Add lines before first data page: Using the arrows keys you can add any job information directly at the beginning of your data file.Information elements: indicates what job infos are automatically created by the input task.Metadata can be manipulated with the Metadata Tasks, see Metadata Tasks. Within each Document, one Data Page containing a single Page is created for each page of the PDF file. The metadata structure created will contain a single Job separated by one Document per captured PDF file. Create Metadata: Select to specify that a basic metadata structure should be created for the resulting PDF file.This option should only be unchecked if the timing of the process is critical and needs to be done quickly, but keep in mind that the resulting PDF may be much larger than it should be and may even be too large for PReS™ Workflow to handle. Optimization can lead to a significant reduction in the size of the PDF, but it may also add a certain amount of time to the process. Optimize resulting PDF: Select to specify whether the resulting PDF should be optimized.Sort directories first: If you selected a sorting method in the Sort files by box, and if you want the folders present in the source folder to be sorted first, select this option.The subfolders themselves are always processed in alphabetical order, regardless of the sort order. When this option is selected, the chosen Sort order is applied to each separate folder, not across folders. Capture files in sub-directories also: Select to capture files from child folders of the source folder as well.When this option is turned off, PReS™ Workflowremoves data files from the source location. Note that PReS™ Workflownever takes source files that have their archive attribute turned on (so the source files will not be taken again and again). Use archive attribute: Select to turn on the archive attribute of the data files found in the source folder and to leave them in their original location (i.e.Sort order: If you selected a sorting method in the Sort files by box, select the order in which you want the files to be sorted.Select None to let PReS™ Workflowtake the files without sorting them first. Sort files by: Select a given sorting method to prompt PReS™ Workflowto sort the files in the source folder before taking them (and thus to take them in a specific order).Since this task only supports PDF files, make sure your extension remains. Masks: Enter a single or multiple file names or use file name masks.Folder: Enter the full path of the folder from which the input files are to be taken.This metadata is divided such that each PDF file is its own document, which can contain multiple data pages. An optional metadata file is also created, containing information about the PDFs. If the option is selected, this PDF is optimized. OutputĪ single PDF containing as many pages as all the combined input PDFs is generated. This is done in a single operation, not incrementally, meaning the file is built once and, if the option is chosen, optimized once. Once all PDF files are captured, their original copies are deleted from the input folder (or tagged as Archive if this option is selected) and they are merged into a single PDF. This means that the merging of PDF files that are not all present at the start of the process may take several passes, which may have an adverse effect on the overall performance and the size of the resulting PDF. The Merge PDF Files Input task performs just like any other input: once the process has completed, control is transferred back to the input one last time to check if new files meeting the mask have come in. This task captures all of the PDF files present in a specific folder, in one operation. It is not available with a PlanetPress Watch license. This feature is part of the PDF Tools, which is only available in PlanetPress Office and PlanetPress Production.
