I am trying to split a PDF containing many records into individual PDFs of one record each, based on the boundaries defined in my DataMapper config. I feel like I know what to do, but I am getting the above error in Workflow when trying to execute the Create Job plugin.
My Job Creation Preset defines the appropriate fields
All you need to do is check “Separations” in your Output Preset, and tell it to separate by “Document”.
If you want to name each PDF using values from metadata/data mapping, you’re on the right track. The Output Preset can use the metadata variables you created in your Job Preset.
Thank you for the reply. The error I was getting was resolved by putting the Create Print Content tool BEFORE the Create Job tool in my workflow process.
You can use the All in One step, which will enforce the proper sequence of Connect Steps. If you use the individual Connect plugins, you have to run them in the right order: Data Map, Create Print Content, Create Job, Create Output.
In regard to the error you’re getting now: I wonder if you’re running a “newer” or “older” version of Connect vs. Workflow. My speculation is that one of them supports passing parameters into Output Presets, but one of them doesn’t. Make sure that your versions of Connect Design and Connect Workflow match.
