Basics

Description:

Freely selectable description of the new Job Document to be created.

Conversion mode:

The n2pdf Server Task distinguishes two different conversion forms:

With this setting, the field "Body" is converted into a PDF file with all selected settings. This is the simplest way to create a PDF file quickly and easily. All you have to do is to put the text to be converted (or the attachments) into the Body field, and the conversion starts.

With this setting you can specify a database from which the content for the PDF file is taken. After the selection "Data source", a further tab "Data source" appears in the Job Document. There you can select the database and the documents which should form the basis of the PDF content.

Priority:

The n2pdf Server Task distinguishes between five different priorities for processing the jobs in the "n2pdf InBox". If you want the job being created to be given preference in processing, choose a higher priority here. Default: Normal

Schedule activated:

If you set this option to "Yes", you are able to schedule the job. A further tab, "Schedule", appears. You can make detailed settings for the schedule in this tab.

Single PDF file:

Set this option to yes if you want to receive just one PDF file for all content to be converted. If you set this option to "No" and you convert a series of Notes documents (see Conversion mode above), then you receive an individual PDF file for each document.

Filename mode:

You can influence the format of the filename for the PDF files with the settings below.

The following options are available:

Creates a unique random filename

Creates a filename from a freely selectable static value and the placeholder for consecutive numbering

Example: n2pdf[%d].pdf

Creates the filename from the universal document ID (UNID) of the document to be converted

Storage mode:

With this setting you decide whether the job should be stored in a separate view of the "n2pdf InBox" after the PDF file is created. Deactivate storage of the job with "Delete job".

Note: Jobs executed with errors are always stored, regardless of the chosen settings.

The settings in this area are only meaningful if the option "Job Document" was chosen for the conversion mode.

Use form for conversion:

If the option is set to "Yes", you can choose a Notes form name (second field in this area), which should be laid over the content of the "Body" field for the conversion. This enables you to define a layout for the created PDF file, for example. If the value is set to "No", only the content of the "Body" field is converted.

The two forms "Memo" and "$n2pdf" are defined in the selection field. You can find these forms in the "n2pdf Inbox". There you can adapt the masks to meet your own requirements.
