Output both metadata for PDF output and text file

Is there a way to run the datamapper for output to metadata for use in creating a PDF file and also output a text file with the field values?

Does not need to occur at the datamapper object, just that I need both the series of PDF files and a text file with the values for each document such as a CSV file.

Not using the all-in one, but separate objects.
Due to the processing time, I don’t want to use two data mappers.

From your Datamapper you could output a JSON file which can then be used by both the CreateContent step for PDF creation and whatever you wan to do with it.

  • Execute Datamapping Output set to JSON
  • Sent to folder
  • Create Print Content set to JSON and %F
  • Create Job Unselect unused Content items in metadata is unchecked

The job preset is configured to grab a field and pass it to the output preset for file naming.

What am I missing?

  • Create Print Content set to JSON and %c

Still getting an error

At this point, better open a technical support ticket through our website.

Once they found the problem, can you post the solution here?

Went back to metadata out put from the datamapper and added a post processor script.
The script does not create folders, so the output folder has to exist.
